Actually the 1st Tet Offensive was the German's attack in the Ardennes on December 16, 1944. So Tet wasn't Tet, it was "the new bulge."

“Since Desert Storm in 1991 US forces have not lost any combat engagement in the region at the platoon level or above. Al Qaida has no beliefs that they can defeat us militarily. They see our center of gravity as being the will of the American People. That is influenced by the media and they are playing to that.”

I was there. They decided to come out and fight and we whipped their @sses.

The Viet Nam war was lost in America.


And if the Lefties have their way;
history will repeat itself in Iraq.

That is the only way we lose this war. If the Left-wing along w/ their friends in the media continue to try to break the will of the American citizen.

Not long after Tet,Cronkite declared that we had lost the war.Of course,it wasn't until quite a while after that declaration that he revealed,in a clear and unapologetic way,that he was a &$%#$@ Communist.

So the question is,who in the MSM will be this era's Cronkite?

"So the question is,who in the MSM will be this era's Cronkite?"

Rather, Brokaw, Jennings, Blitzer, Matthews... The list is endless.

Not this time,kelly.

No one.

They've already tried to be, the public doesn't trust them anymore. At least not to the extent that one man in an anchor's desk has the power to lose a war.

The President will not back down and he's been running the war confidently by letting those on the Ground be in charge. All The troops are there voluntarily winning the war so burning draft cards isn't an issue. The Iraqi's have joined in the effort to build their country. The alternative media combined with the president's pulpit is an effective combination to counter the MSM.

Well then that's two badges of honor you should wear proudly, first your service to our country for which I thank you and second whatever you did to earn your tagline.

I am convinced that Peter Arnett is a liar of the lowest order and meant harm to you and your bros back then.

I remember well, the nightly news body counts for the day. Walter Cronkite, every single night traumatized with our injured on stretchers and body bags. We never heard about our victories or our enemies losses. It was a very disturbing time for we who had loved ones in Nam.

Disgusting man. And what is more disgusting is that Cronkite is often called "the most trusted man in America".

[ExpatGator]

"It was with Tet '68 that the American media first knew sin."

HUH???? While it appears that this article is slamming the MSM, this author is forgetting such classic reporters as Walter Duranty, The Times' Stalinist Propagandist. Sin in the media was perfected long before we decimated the commies in 1968.

[proudofthesouth]

Cronkite revealed on the air that he was a Communist?

[GaltMeister]

And what is more disgusting is that Cronkite is often called "the most trusted man in America".

That is a typical con artist tactic. Keep reminding their mark of how 'trustworthy' they are, while they set you up for the big lie or ripoff.
