You're too late. Dan Rather already did this in Florida in 2000.

And the NYT is still the left's last bastion of liberal propaganda...
We never lost a battle in Viet Nam and have never lost a battle in Iraq!

And if not for Kerry, Fonda and their ilk, the commies would have surrendered in Viet Nam in '71.
And that's the bottom line!

Kerry lied
and good men died!

Semper Fi,
Kelly

At the current rate of deaths, our casualties in Iraq won't pile up to VietNam levels until ... (drum roll, please): the year 2090.

This is the DNC new line. Iraq IS a failure. Even though nothing has changed, they chandge the story and the MSM follows. We won't know if Iraq is a success or failure for years. I guess it depends on what your definition of is is.

Not only did we leave Vietnam under the umbrella of a treaty, which gave us the right to fly B-52's over Hanoi and begin where we left off in December 1972. They most definitely did not want that. But they saw that our ability to do anything was neutered by the Watergate crisis, and our position was destroyed by a DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED CONGRESS which refused to approve any money to guarantee the success of a deterrent threat. When the NV saw that, the blood was in the water, and the fall of the South was only a matter of time. And then the bloodbath began.

It's unfortunate that we lose soldiers instead of journalists...

More like Traitor Alert. This POS Herbert ought to don a towel on his head, for he does nothing but comfort the enemy.

The only comparison that can be made of Vietnam and Iraq is in the reporting by the media/press

I have no doubt Uncle Walter is proud of them

Personally these people make me sick
