We (the US) lost the will.In fact Johnson never had the will. The US was never allowed to cross the 50 yard line with the ball. That's what comes from playing touch football with the Kennedys.
The ARVN were promised US Air Support if the NVA showed up with Tanks. The RATS after removing Nixon, refused to fund the promised Air Support.

I heard on FOX News something about a coalition attack on a Mosque somewhere in Iraq. Reported 40 enemy dead, I think. Can't seem to find anything on their website yet, though.

So he is comparing this to TET?Is the media comparing it to TET, thinking that this too will be a 'defeat' for America? TET was only a defeat because the media made it so. It was a military WIN for the US, but the anti-war media reported it in such a negative magnner that most Americans thought it a defeat and began to turn against the war in large numbers.
The difference this time is that we have felt the sting of these terrorists are are WILLING to hurt them!

Thanks. God Bless OUR Troops.

.....Italians,Spanish,Ukrains,Bulgarian,Polish forces are moving with marines to back them up...May God bless each and every one who is helping to wage this Operation Vigilant Resolve. And thank you for the information.
Togo West on Fox is saying things are going predictably - hard fighting, yes - but the marines are doing their job and the enemy will be pacified. The violent minority will not carry the day. Agrees with sticking with president's deadline.

This Blog from a man in Iraq tells the true story.

Thieves and idiots !
Surely youre watching whats happening now in some neighborhoods in Iraq.. let me explain something about this militia.. ( youll never hear a similar explanation in any TV channel or radio stations
but this is the truth and the real picture of Muqtadas group)..
First of all:
That angry dumb and silly boy is not respected by many religious leaders here in Iraq and consider him as a child , he dont have the right to be a religious leader and he dont have any logical and legislative Islamic studies regarding Islam and Sharia..
Second.. that foolish boy has many thieves following him.. why? Do you know that neighborhood Althawra or Al-Sadr city in Baghdad? This is the worst place in Iraq.. yes .. all Iraqis hate that place and never ever reach there.. More than 75% of this neighborhood are thieves and murders .. they are responsible for the looting and robbery acts last year.. and of course due to their rapid and uncontrolled reproduction ( just like the rabbits) ,they have many relatives in some neighborhoods in Iraq, so when they felt that Muqtada is so permissive and may encourage such robberies; they followed him.. they love him.. they feel that hes one of them and his laws are very compatible with their disgusting thoughts and mean goals..
Now we have a silly angry boy and thieves..
The third point .. many idiots still remember his father and they feel that he continues his fathers message in Islam.. the crowds are always around that boy listening to his words that incite and urge them to disobey whatever the GC and CPA say..
Now we have a silly angry boy, thieves and idiots..!
Wow.. what a group!!
Im afraid the world will say that Iraqis dont deserve the liberation because of those people..
Here in Basra, few Muqtadas men are preparing themselves, hiking among the people and in front of banks and shops waiting for another looting and robbery acts and spreading rumors about the situation in other provinces.. they say that the governmental institutes are robbed and everything lost..etc..trying to breach the peace.. some of them are carrying sacks to rob the bank if their leader will succeed and control Iraq!!
Got the picture of this militia?!
Of course theres no one channel can interview an educated Iraqi who dares to say all of that about this militia ..
BTW Im sure that Al-Jazeera is dancing now!
The good things are:
Its told that the British troops came to the banks and took all the money to be kept in safe places until the chaos comes to an end..
And some districts here in Basra came to a great idea, the Sheiks of many tribes held a meeting and decided to sign on papers promising that any person dares to breach the peace in their areas will be arrested or killed immediately and no one will protect him even if he was one of their tribes.. this meeting relieved the people so much
Nearly a similar situation happened in 1999 in Al-Sadr city when Saddam killed Muqtadas father.. the angry people in that disgusting neighborhood made a simple chaos in the beginning , do you know what happened ? do you know how Saddam dealt with them?... a few cars went there immediately and a few men got out of the cars carrying different types of guns and rifles and started to fire continuously at them until all those people entered their houses and many of them were killed and left on the streets
then Saddams men completed their mission and went back..
I dont want to say that the same thing should be done.. but I just want to say that the GC and CPA must control this freedom because its used improperly..

Marines bomb Fallujah mosque I think this is a good thing - if we don't let the media spin it - the terrorists will see that the Marines aren't playing, and will get them wherever they hide.
It would be nice if we took control of the spin and blamed the terrorists for the destruction of the mosque - if they want their holy sites kept holy, they'd best not desecrate them with weapons.

Well, I had a short nap and fortunately missed Nelson on Fox. Now the fair and balanced debate on the political rmaifications of this by a Rat and a Republican.

Good morning.
Just got off the phone with friends in the Pentagon.
We apparently are kicking some serious tail over there right now. The Poles did us a tremendous favor by taking out some bad guys.
Marines are going house-to-house, Mosques are no longer off limits the second there is fire from inside. If they shoot as us, they lose the Mosque. Tanks are being used to draw the enemy into the street, where they are turned to hamburger.
AC-130's are killing vehicles, and the occasional nut who gets out of one. The Helicopter crew is safe, and there are NO HOSTAGES. The bad guys think that if we feel they have hostages, that we will stop killing them.
If I get any more information, I will pass it along.

Bump! We were awake on 911.
I'm very glad they bombed this mosque, too.

And even if they did hostages, they would kill them anyway.
