From wikipedia.org

In an interview yesterday with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, President Bush accepted a comparison between the current war in Iraq and Vietnam War.

Stephanopoulos told the president that New York Times columnist Tom Friedman has compared the current situation in Iraq to the 1968 Tet offensive in Vietnam. Bush replied, "He could be right...there's certainly a stepped up level on violence, and we're heading into an election." The Tet offensive is widely considered to be the turning point in the Vietnam War.
