Most of the news outlets when they were not almost in glee over the 2000th soldier being killed stated that indictments would be handed down today. Wrong again and again and again.
Let us have a moment of silence for the grief of Main Stream Media...NOT.
I believe I heard on Tony Snow's show this morning.. Kennedy refer to it as an 'auspicious occasion'...isn't auspicious defined as: favorable, opportune? I about flew around the room and crashed landed over that one. Grrrrrrr.
The spin I caught being used last night was that 2000 was, "more soldier's deaths than all of the first four years of Vietnam," which immediately struck me as a Dem talking point.
There's a great deal of debate when Vietnam actually began. Many would put it as the Gulf of Tonkin but others would go as far back as the late 1940's and still others at places in between.
I've been trying to find pre annum KIA stats for Vietnam but haven't had much luck.
