Not so much the mainstream news like abc, nbc, fox ect... but more so on channels like Fox News, CNBC, CNN ect. I personally do not like this comparison, as I feel it somehow makes the Iraq situation alot worse than it actually is. The death toll between the 2 isn't close enough to begin that comparison. In my opinion.

As for the length of Americas involvement over in Iraq... the public seems to think this should be, and could be an in and out situation. But from all the talk radio shows, and political analysts I have heard, 10 to 15 years was the expected time. That is one of the major reasons there was a lot of talk about a possible draft. That time span is alot longer than anyone seems to be comfortable with. And that is what kills me. I personally was opposed to us going to war with Iraq, becuase of the casualties, time, and money it would cost our nation. On the other hand, we have millions and millions of people who supported it at the time, but now they are all crying foul because our troops are still there. These are the people who make me angry. People need to take the time to think about the concequences of a prolonged war instead of thinking only a month or two in advanced.

take out FOX NEWS from that list. FOX NEWS backs up the president no matter what isgoin on...they stick with the status quo

The death toll isnt the reason Iraq is being compared to Vietnam...but the guerrilla warfare.  Iraqi people are just shooting and hiding...and how can u combat that? ya know.
