the communist Tet Offensive of 1968. American and South Vietnamese forces had routed the enemy.... Cronkite reported the opposite. "We are mired in stalemate," he told Americans on February 27, 1968. America's only hope, said Cronkite, was to "negotiate, not as victors, but as an honorable people who... did the best they could". Cronkite's message reached Hanoi loud and clear. The communists understood that Cronkite spoke for official Washington. In their darkest hour, he gave them hope. They resolved to fight on.

And his young protege's spew out the same traitorous lies today regarding Iraq.

Just want to mention that the Johnson administration and its eggheads were a pathetic bunch as well. Think of all the “brilliant” minds who left that supposedly war-minded administration and emerged as total leftists and defeatists. They screwed everything up.
