Miss Marple--totally off topic, but as I reached your post here I have Brit's show on and Fred Barnes reminds us that Tet was a miserable military defeat for the Viet Cong and MISREPRESENTED by the press, and he went on to say that is what is going in Iraq regarding bad press and certain reports casting events in a negative light.

I know that the Tet Offensive propaganda is a story near and dear to your heart and you would like to know that Fred Barnes reminded Brit's viewers about it.

I heard Fred while I was cooking dinner. Thanks for bringing it up. I continue to use the Tet offensive as an example of how the media distorts things. It is very effective.

Plus it burns me up that our guys in Viet Nam were trashed with that story. They deserved better.
