"... we were told we were "winning" in Vietnam right up to the day we got in the helicopters..."

We were winning. We won every military engagement we entered, including the Tet offensive. It was Walter Cronkite and the rest of the media, aided and abetted by Hanoi Jane and Purple Hearts Kerry, who told us we were losing and made us believe it.

I can't argue with you there. But do you think the media has changed? Do you think they will cut the Republicans a break and tell the American public the success stories of Iraq? No matter how much good we do it will never be broadcast. And how long are we going to stay over there and at what cost? Are we willing to spend $126 billion a year on this not to mention the yearly lost of life? This is deja vu all over again. The Republicans need to come back to reality.
