sunrisescholarBush urges patience on winning Iraq war
...Asked if the experience in Vietnam offered lessons for Iraq, Bush said, "We tend to want there to be instant success in the world, and the task in Iraq is going to take awhile."
He said "it's just going to take a long period of time" for "an ideology of freedom to overcome an ideology of hate. Yet, the world that we live in today is one where they want things to happen immediately."
"We'll succeed unless we quit," the president said.

That's the lesson of Vietnam? I mean, he didn't actually go so I suppose it's not surprising that he doesn't get it but, geez, read a book.
