5 Million SE Asian Murders thanks to Jane & John.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Truly amazing. I think this might say it all:
And they still don't get it. Folks like Peloser running over to Syria:
It is treason and I will call it treason. If they don't like it, they shouldn't give me a reason to say it.
Thank you for your service. It is greatly appreciated.
I pray every day.
Jane’s fifteen minutes were used up on Cat Ballou and Barbarella. Anything else is just weeing in the wind.
Like if something like Tet accord with the invention of the Internet. Folks could get the news out quicker and put an end to slander easier. Maybe, the Embassy gets a message out to the world that they had not been overrun and Kronkite goes down.
maybe?
“unemployed, disliked, ignored, forgotten, and eternally drunk”
That’s how the MSM and Hollywood characterized Vietnam veterans for years and years! And so I too wish the same fate upon them.

Krankheit is either a headache or a pain in the @$$. My German has been better.
Well since Walter Crankcase is no longer in the MSM as a reporter it’s moot but there were/are other’s that fill his shoes ....
That’s far, far too kind to Reid. He’s really afraid that we’re winning, which will mean that he’ll personally lose.
Reid’s a traitor that puts his political ambition ahead of his concern for the interests of America. A true scumbag.
you make a true statement.
I have heard and seen that Giap quote many times. Does anyone know if this is really what is written in the book? Or is a ready for snopes.com story?
The American people need to learn from this.

Years later...
WALTER CRONKITE undercut our heroic efforts by calling America’s TET Offensive victory a defeat on National TV.
Then after Sen. TED KENNEDY pushed a post-WATERGATE Democrat Congress into cutting off all our fundng for the then Free South Vietnamese to fight for their own Freedom with so very sadly came:

Ed Moise has already tackled this one [in a review of] Vo Nguyen Giap and Van Tien Dung, How We Won the War. Philadelphia: Recon Publications, 1976. 63 pp.
This book has been the subject of several unfounded rumors on the Internet. The first one began in the late 1990s. Supposedly, General Giap had written in How We Won the War that in the aftermath of the Tet Offensive of 1968, the Communist leaders in Vietnam had been ready to abandon the war, but that a broadcast by Walter Cronkite, declaring the Tet Offensive a Communist victory, persuaded them to change their minds and fight on. This rumor was entirely false. Giap had not mentioned Cronkite, and had not said the Communists had ever considered giving up on the war.
Several variants of this rumor appeared in 2004. In these, Giap is supposed to have credited either the American anti-war movement in general, or John Kerry's organization (Vietnam Veterans Against the War) in particular, for persuading the Communist leaders to change their minds and not give up on the war. Giap is sometimes said to have made this statement in How We Won the War, sometimes in an unnamed 1985 memoir. All versions of the rumor are false. Neither in How We Won the War, nor in any other book (the 1985 memoir is entirely imaginary), has Giap mentioned Kerry or Vietnam Veterans Against the War, or said that the Communist leaders had ever considered giving up on the war."

Of course, even if the Giap quotes are bogus it takes nothing away from the main point: the media helped pull defeat from the jaws of victory.
