They are completely different. Anyone who thinks differently has no grasp of comparison.

It's because it's a nice simple statement to make that immediately casts an ugly shadow on the operation. Forget about facts, man. It's about 5 second sound bites and trying to "prove" that George Bush is an egomaniac who cares nothing about the troops and is only interested in exercising "his" power.
It's also one of the few areas where GWB may have a kink in his armor coming into the next election. Without this fear mongering, the supporters of the Democratic candidates have little hope to get in the White House.
