I disagree for a lot of reasons. First, Vietnam wasn't declared a mess until after six years in country - after a little more than a year, people are already whining about Iraq.

Second, we know what we want to accomplish in Iraq (establish a Democratic government and then get out), where we were just flailing around fighting with the NVA for years on end in Vietnam.
