And Bush knew about the port authority issue, had he not he would not have been ready to veto a Bill from his own party, mistakes are not reinforced like that.
are you seriously comparing the Vietnam war with this war? i hate to bring numbers to this arguement but we lost 58,000 brave men in 12 years over there while luckily we have only lost 2,316 men and women in only 3 years in iraq.my heart goes out to every family that have either lost their son or daughter.

you said bush knew about the port deal. he said he did not know. here's the link to prove it. i'll take his word that he did not know.
