War-- Losing Or Winning?

Gohmert: ‘Vietnam was winnable,’ but ‘people in Washington decided’ to lose | The Raw Story

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) on Thursday asserted that the U.S. war in “Vietnam was winnable, but people in Washington decided we would not win it!”

“One of the things that we’ve heard over and over again since Vietnam is, you know, we don’t want to get in another un-winnable war like Vietnam,” Gohmert told the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). “I’m not going to debate the merits of whether we should or should not have gone to Vietnam, but what I will tell you is, Vietnam was winnable, but people in Washington decided we would not win it!...”

Uh, dude, what people? Nixon? Oh, and I can make argument that the U.S. did win its war.
