Forget War Pullout, Bush Tells Veterans

Richard Sisk / New York Daily News:
President Bush resurrected Vietnam's agonizing legacy yesterday, vowing to fight on indefinitely in Iraq to avoid the bloodbath he predicted would follow a U.S. withdrawal without victory. "Then, as now, people argued the real problem was America's presence and that if we would just withdraw, the killing would end," Bush reminded in a speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention. "As long as I am commander in chief, we will fight to win," he vowed to cheers and applause.
