Irony

Can somebody explain this to me?

The only way for our enemies to defeat us in Iraq is for the United States public opinion to change and we lose the will to fight.

The only war this country ever lost was Vietnam, where we lost not a single major battle, because of changing public opinion and losing the will to fight.

The Democrat nominee for president of the United States dedicated his life to changing public opinion of the Vietnam War ensuring that the United States lose the will to fight and thus the war.

Yet, this is the man some want to lead us in Iraq?

I just don't get it.
