History Will Teach You Nothing

Re: Bush in Vietnam, I said: “Bush, meanwhile, is about to make his first-ever visit to Vietnam. Ironic, yes, but educational, no, probably not.”

Lessons learned from Vietnam? Bush said: “We’ll succeed unless we quit.”

He added: “Vietnam is an exciting place…You’re like a young tiger.”

Speaking of John McCain and his ordeal in Vietnam, Bush noted that he passed by the lake where “he was, literally, saved, in one way, by the people pulling him out.”

I know there’s a lesson in there somewhere, but…I…just…can’t…figure…it…out!
