(CBS 5) SAN JOSE It was in 1968, when CBS Anchorman Walter Cronkite did a tour of Vietnam, and came back highly critical of that war.
His pronouncement that the Vietnam War was unwinnable led to such a shift in public opinion against the war that President Lyndon Johnson said, "If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost America."
The 90-year-old Cronkite was in San Jose on Friday addressing the Commonwealth Club. In an exclusive interview with CBS 5, he weighed in on the situation in Iraq.
"We should have gotten out a long time ago. This is a mistake, this entire war there, it's a disaster. And the earlier we get out the better," Cronkite said. "It's a terrible disaster. Look at the loss of lives of our young Americans there and those who have been maimed for life, for what purpose? No purpose we can define."..."

that senile old bastard needs to keep his pie hole shut!
Well, I see Crankshaft is trying to shaft the United States again.
Does this senile man really think anyone in the American public takes him seriously anymore? He has been demonstrated to have been wrong about the Tet offensive. And there are people of voting age who don't have the slightest idea of who he is.
disaster?? that would be katie the commie's newsratings at See BS...right Wally???
I thought he'd fallen off his sailboat a long time ago..who knew?
It took me a minute, but sir...that line was damn funny..
excellent work...
If youre a maam...good work maam..8-)
Thanks! A genuine pleasure to see the truth.
Let's hear it for the brain-impaired...
We could never lose without the efforts of Cronkite.
Go away, Walt, you've done your dirty deed already.
"AND THAT'S THE WAY IT ISN'T...FEBRUARY 28, 2007"
"AND THAT'S THE WAY IT ISN'T...FEBRUARY 28, 2007"
"Go away, Walt, you've done your dirty deed already."
Cronkite was the cheerleader for one "no-win" war. The old bastard should just shut up this time. He's a disgrace.
"And that's the way I lied about Vietnam and help us loose that war, now I'm working on this one, uh huh, uh huh!"
"And that's the way I lied about Vietnam and help us loose that war, now I'm working on this one, uh huh, uh huh!"
Then Bob Keenan the Captain passed away, God rest his soul. Too bad Walter didn't go first.
Walter, you were a commie back then and you're a commie now. The only difference now is that you have stains on your pants, you've got lots of liver spots, your speech is getting more difficult and your hands have tremors.
I'm going to see you buried, you miserable liar...and it won't be nationally televised.
So he would prefer Saddamn was still in charge and his slaves still enslaved. The compassion of the left.
Pray for W and Our Troops
