I remember when the CIA declared both Che and Gen Gaip dead. Then they showed up very much alive.

Several years ago I found on a YAHOO web page, an excerpt of Gen Giap’s book on the VN war and how they won.

They were totally defeated after the TET offensive and were ready to negotiate with the US and South VN.

Then the treasonous son-of-a-bitch WALTER CRONKITE came on TV and declared we could not win the war.

Giap decided to try again and kept up till he negotiated the US out of SVN and then attacked.

That YAHOO page has since disappeared.

“Viet Nam, The 10,000 day War” has an episode where they said they were going to give up with the bombing of Hanoi with B-52’s, but JANE FONDA and other war protesters, gave them hope to hang in there awhile longer. They were strengthened by watching the protests in the US.

They learned from their mistakes and declared Bin Laden alive after Tora Bora. Little did they know that a certain future President would so desperate for a headline to change the subject that he would kill the guy's ISI body double.
