"Meat Grinder" diary on Kos

I'm not used to doing this, so forgive me if this isn't cool. There is an excellent diary on Kos re: the use of the term "meat grinder," what it meant in Vietnam and what it could mean in Iraq. If we're going to back JK's get 'em out of Iraq work, this diary might be important to read and recc. Don't know, but thought I'd share anyway.

Can We Win This Time?

by digby

Rick Perlstein has two very important articles running right now that everyone should read. I would really love it if our Democratic representatives, especially, would read them, so if any of you have some extra time on your hands and would like to forward the articles to your Democratic congressperson and Senators, you would be doing a public service.

Democrats do not understand their own history and because of that they are allowing certain GOP myths to govern their decisions about Iraq. Perlstein's articles vividly describe how the history of Vietnam has been distorted, how it was done, who did it and why the Democrats find themselves battling fake ghosts instead of riding on the backs of real ones.
