Drinks abundantly!
Fortunately the MSM doesn't have quite the stangehold over the electorate these days. Cronkite and his ilk are essentially irrelevant.
"I think we could have been able to retire with honor," he said.
The purpose is to win, not "retire with honor."
Pardon me if someone's already pointed this out.
When is this guy going to leave the building?
Iraq would become another Cambodia will another set of killing fields in the millins. At least the old bastard is consistent. He wants Iraqis killed with the same zeal as the Cambodians. Go away Mr.Cronkite.
Typical leftist reliving the glory days at the expense of the here and now. Old Walt, like the rest of his movement, is way past his prime and should have left the stage ages ago.
F.Y.C.
How about posting the exact recent words of Walter Cronkite - about "Americans are now too stupid to vote...." (rough paraprase)
But Uncle Wallie can decide how to run the America and the rest of the world - free elections in America, Afghanistan, and Iraq are "unfair" unless the left can win by any and all means - the Saul Alinski template
As the democrats are now not in the majority in either the Senate or House and have lost the Presidency - and are losing control of an unelected and unaccountable activist "law-writing" SCOTUS tyranny -
Cronkite is exactly the same as the old USSR's Commie butchering leaders - living in luxury while telling the peons they must give all "for the good of the state....."
Ted Kennedy, the Klintoons, Kohnman-Heinz, Jay Rockefeller, Feinstein, Boxer, Pelosi - all the same offshore / foundation / tax shielded / foreign incorporated scumbags
There is no difference between Stalin and Cronkite and Castro and Hitler
They all "knew best" and killed millions of people while living high on the hog
I agree with Walter. We should leave Iraq and roll into Iran and Syria.
What an utter coward and $#!+he@d this man has become in his old age. What a hell it must be for him.
To hell with him this time IMHO.
Guess what Uncle Wally? It ain't 1968 any more, and nobody gives a rat's patootie what your "belief" is.
Walter Cronkite is a devoted One World Government ideologue who believes that America should give up her sovereignty.
He is dung.
He won't go away easily. I uttered my first "F*** you Walter" in 1968 when he pompously declared that the war was unwinnable. After all these years I now know that these POS won't go away just because you ignore them or wish them away.
You seditious POS this isn't TET and we have a president more like Churchill than LBJ
Shut up, Walter. Aren't you dead yet?
Then-President Lyndon Johnson reportedly told a White House aide after that, "If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost Middle America."
for a president (LBJ) to give a man who just sits and reads words off of a teleprompter that much influence over America is shocking
::::crickets:::
Walter....Walter who?
Oh yeah, wasn't he the Bounty guy? No? Hmm...
Someone needs to fill Uncle Walter in on the fact America doesn't trust him anymore. Watergate is over. Vietnam is over. Woodstock is over. Walter is over.
Welcome to the 21 Century, where you don't rule.
