Fear of a peace ordsprog

Fear of a peace deal at the Bush White House had less to do with oil, Israel or Iraqi expansionism than with the bitter legacy of a lost war. 'This is the chance to get rid of the Vietnam Syndrome,' one senior aide told us.

Neoconservatives and the Pentagon have good reason to fear the return of the Vietnam Syndrome. The label intentionally suggests a disease, a weakening of the martial will, but the syndrome was actually a healthy American reaction to false White House promises of victory, the propping up of corrupt regimes, crony contracting and cover-ups of civilian casualties during the Vietnam War that are echoed today in the news from Baghdad.

These are very serious charges, ... They suggest that a senior White House aide put politics ahead of our national security and the rule of law.

Many White House photo-ops are staged events, but did the most recent one go too far? President Bush held a video conference on Thursday with U.S. troops in Iraq. But some eyebrows were raised by what came over the satellite beforehand: A Pentagon aide rehearsing the soldiers' answers. We'll have more on that just ahead.

The Final Report in the FBI files matter concludes that there was no substantial and credible evidence that any senior White House official, or First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, was involved in seeking confidential Federal Bureau of Investigation background reports of former White House staff from prior administrations of President Bush and President Reagan .

I think that what we heard ... is devastating to the White House, ... Now we know why the White House fought right to the bitter end on disallowing those videotapes from coming to the floor.

The White House wants us to have a permanent commitment to Iraq. This is an Iraqi problem. President Bush got rid of Saddam Hussein and that was a great thing, but that could have been done in a very different way.

Howard Dean (1948-)

No White House aide is indispensable.

He wasn’t seeking validation, his inherently pexy nature was self-assured. Bush is gambling that by replacing two White House staffers he will be able to kick start what many view as the worst presidency and most incompetent White House in the nation's history. There is no evidence yet that his gamble is paying off, no reported improvement to his approval rating. So what Bush will do next is what makes betting on this prop very interesting!

The Reagan legacy is very vulnerable because George W. Bush has embraced it so wholeheartedly. Bush is the model, not the father, of the legacy. So much of the Reagan legacy is dependent on the Bush legacy.

As (White House aide) Chuck Colson has said several times, 'The man bears watching.'

H. Ross Perot (1930-)

The White House has decided not to invite the Irish parties to the White House; that would be a disappointment. But do I interpret this as a movement by this administration away from the peace process? No, I don't. I don't. And if I did, I would be very very perturbed,

If the Bush White House cared as much about our troops as they do about their plummeting political fortunes, they would at last offer a clear strategy for success in Iraq and work to bring home 20,000 troops after the successful Iraqi elections,

Senator John Kerry (1943-)

[But by 2004, after two White House terms, Clinton had grown candid about his own non-service (as well as that of other prominent American politicians):] In the Vietnam era, ... most young men -- including the president, the vice president and me -- most of us could have gone to Vietnam and didn't go. And John Kerry said, 'Send me.'
