PsyOps and a car guy too! For fun, we used to run war-games on how to defeat the USA with our limited resources in Canada.

We figured we'd need a lot of beer... LOL! No kidding. Not to mention liberal use of infiltrated "Snowbird" Commandos posing as tourists no doubt. They're pretty good at causing havoc with their Urban Assault Vehicles!

This is the very best article I have seen on the subject.
Do I agree? You bet I do, I just wish I didn't feel so helpless to stop it.

While my comment was mostly intended as a "smart @ssed remark", reading this article and knowing what I know about his voting record, makes me wonder if Kerry might just actually be a former Soviet mole? He is not the ONLY one in the democrat party that I suspect of being a mole. Where was Bill Clinton during the Viet Nam war when he was supposed to be at Oxford? One has to wonder knowing their politics!

I don't think it is about "making news", I think it is about an agenda. The media is made up mostly of leftist's who detest anything conservative, and are mostly mouthpieces for the democrats. They know that the President's strongest point is the war on terrorism and that by putting doubt in the voter's minds about the validity of that war they can defeat him in November. It is pure evil IMHO>

Hi LIR.
The media is made up mostly of leftist's who detest anything conservative
Yes, I know...so, I guess my question actually is....why is it that the media is mostly made up of leftists and liberals?. I know that has been the case for as long as I can remember, even to the point where their agenda actually works against our country and undermines it's foundation; the very foundation which has insured the "freedom of the press" and other liberties that allow them to continue to slant and distort the news to support their agenda. That's what I just don't understand.

Boy, I wish I could answer that question but I can't. I realize now that I am older that it has been that way for so many years, I just wasn't aware of the liberal bias when I was young. Wasn't this article fantastic?

Wasn't this article fantastic? Yes, it was. I just hate that our military is coming home and seeing that the press, through their selective reporting, is doing everything possible to slant the public's opinion and undermine the job that they have done over there.
We have a long summer of Bush bashing ahead of us and I think, for my own sanity, I am just going to have to turn off the news. Sometimes it gets to be too much.

"If you agree, pass this along." Thank you for this magnificent composition.
I do agree, and I'm passing it along to everyone in my address book,to newspapers and radio stations in my state, and printing copies to distribute. We must dare call it treason, and demand that the people who represent us in places of power stand against it. The so-called "silent majority" stood by during the Vietnam era and allowed the voices of the Left to become dominant. Most of us who lived through that period said, "Never Again!" Now is the time to prove it. What good will it do for our military to win the battle over there, if we lose the one at home? We owe it to them and to ourselves to fight as hard here as they are over there.
God bless you, and thank you for your service.

http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Camp/7624/Generals/giap.htm General Vo Nguyen Giap
Wars Fought:
-World War II
-First Indochina War(French-Indochina War 1946-1954)
-Second Indochina War(Vietnam War 1965-1972)
-Third Indochina War 1979-81
Vietnam War:
Gen. Giap planned and directed the military operations against the French that culminated in their defeat at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954. During the 1960's Giap controlled guerrilla operations against South Vietnam and the United States and planned the Tet Offensive of 1968.
In his book, Giap clearly indicated that NVA troops were without sufficient supplies, and had been continually defeated time and again.
By 1968, NVA morale was at it's lowest point ever. The plans for "Tet" '68 was their last desperate attempt to achieve a success, in an effort to boost the NVA morale. When it was over, General Giap and the NVA viewed the Tet '68 offensive as a failure, they were on their knees and had prepared to negotiate a surrender.
At that time, there were fewer than 10,000 U.S. casualties, the Vietnam War was about to end, as the NVA was prepared to accept their defeat. Then, they heard Walter Cronkite (former CBS News anchor and correspondent) on TV proclaiming the success of the Tet '68 offensive by the communist NVA. They were completely and totally amazed at hearing that the US Embassy had been overrun. In reality, The NVA had not gained access to the Embassy--there were some VC who had been killed on the grassy lawn, but they hadn't gained access. Further reports indicated the riots and protesting on the streets of America.
According to Giap, these distorted reports were inspirational to the NVA. They changed their plans from a negotiated surrender and decided instead, they only needed to persevere for one more hour, day, week, month, eventually the protesters in American would help them to achieve a victory they knew they could not win on the battlefield. Remember, this decision was made at a time when the U.S. casualties were fewer than 10,000, at the end of 1967, beginning of 1968.

If there is any consistency in Kerry's political career, it is his in-your-face use of that four-month stint in Vietnam. He enlisted like many other young men of privilege, trying to serve without going to the front lines. When in 1966 it looked like his draft number was coming up during his senior year at Yale University, and already having spoken out in public against the war, Kerry signed up with the Navy under the conscious inspiration of his hero, the late President John F. Kennedy. As a lieutenant junior grade, Kerry skippered a CTF-115 swift boat, a light, aluminum patrol vessel that bore a passing resemblance to PT-109. He thought he'd arranged to avoid combat. "I didn't really want to get involved in the war," he later would tell the Boston Globe. "When I signed up for the swift boats, they had very little to do with the war. They were engaged in coastal patrolling, and that's what I thought I was going to do."Kerry Exploits Vets for Hanoi
