GARETH PORTER
An “investigative historian” on U.S. national security policy, and author, most recently, of the book Perils of Dominance: Imbalance of Power and the Road to War in Vietnam, Porter said today: “Although South Vietnam 1975 is very far from being Iraq 2007, Bush’s asking for a supplemental to send more troops serves roughly the same purpose as Kissinger’s phony request for emergency funding for South Vietnam on the eve of its demise — to set up Congress for blame. But it’s a failing political strategy, too.”
