Iraqorea

Reuters AlertNet - Bush envisions U.S. presence in Iraq like S.Korea: "WASHINGTON, May 30 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush would like to see a lengthy U.S. troop presence in Iraq like the one in South Korea to provide stability but not in a frontline combat role, the White House said on Wednesday.

The United States has had thousands of U.S. troops in South Korea to guard against a North Korean invasion for 50 years..."

Could someone explain to Herr Bush that the two situations ain't even beginning to become ever similar? Update: Josh Marshall helps out.
