"What we still don't understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi. You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battles of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it. But we were elated to notice your media were definitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. You had won!" - General Giap, North Vietnam (memoirs)
Our fighting men in Vietnam took back the ground the NVA took during Tet. Before the Tet dust was even settled, people like Kronkite and Hanoi Jane convinced the American people the US Embassy in South Vietnam had been over run and it was time for us to run. As a matter of fact, a wall was breached. I believe a few Marines on the roof shot the leader and the rest turn tail and fled. But to Kronkite and the rest of the news media the Embassy had been over run.
Read the words of General Gaip. Once the North Vietnamise saw what our media was doing, they said hang on one more day, one week, one more month. Their Army was defeated but the media still gave the enemy resolve. Now, let's look at the resolve of Scary Reid and other demortic leaders.
Reid has no resolve. He thinks the war is lost. Gaip had his Army destroyed and he still had resolve. Reid has the greatest Army in the history of the world and he thinks the war is lost. The leaders of the demoratic party must understand that we live in a nuclear age. We can not wait for the enemy to bring the war to us. We must bring the war to them.
The media and the demoratic leaders must understand that the stakes are higher then they were in Vietnam. They say the war is going bad. Well, we were in WWII for four years and we lost 290,000. We have been in Iraq for four years and we lost 3,500 people. I am damn proud of my Troops. They are in the heart of the Middle East. A place that burns my flag and hates my guts. They are hunting and killing Al Qeada over there. We are taking the war to our enemy. Thank God for our Troops.
I can not thank God for the leaders in the demoratic Party though. More like, thank Satan. The rats say I was optimistic 2 years ago, so we need to pull out. Your dang right I was optimistic. I am still optimistic. I see that we have rebuilt infrastructure, there is a Iraqi Stock Market, I have heard of good reports in regards to the reflection of the Iraqi economy. I have heard that over 300,000 Iraqi Troops have been trained. I have heard the Police force is growing. I have heard that tribal leaders are working with the Iraqi Army and Police. Tough times don't last. Tough people do. We will help the Iraqi people stand for them self in times of trouble. We have to.
Pull out pf Iraq to early and what happens next will be on the liberals. Not on me. I hear there is some scuffling going on in Southern Iraq now. Well, I believe the British have pulled out or have begun to pull out of Southern Iraq. They may have left to early. We don't need to be listening to our media and treasonous politicians. I think Gaip was a right. I think we should listen to his words.
If Gaip is right, then resolve at home is mighty important. Resolve can win or lose wars people. If thge rats support our Troops, then they support victory. Our Troops are not fighting to lose. The rats need some resolve and they need to support the mission. Tight now, we need that Defense bill passed and I do mean now. And we don't need any crazy Amendments to it that effect the execution of the war.
I want to ask the demorats this:
When was the last time you heard anyone in your party say "we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival of liberty"?
- JFK
I don't hear that from the likes of Hanoi Jane. If she had it her way, she would change her name to Jihad Jane. I stood with a bunch of Vietnam Vets on March 17th at the Gathering of eagles in DC. I heard a lot of them say that they did not want Hanoi Jane to do to our Troops what she had done to them in Vietnam. I stand firmly with these people. And I say Don't Let Hanoi Jane turn into Jihad Jane. I will be in DC on September 15, 2007 at the Gathering of Eagles. I have resolve. I wish liberals recognized the importance of resolve. (I think they do and that is why they act the way they do. They really want us to lose.)
Thanks for listening,

I don’t think that Jane Fonda has the credibility to lose the Iraq War. But the book is a searing indictment of the news Media during that time.
The MSM seems bound and determined to cheat us out of another victory.
I think she helped. She definitely did not do it single handedly. Only Kronkite could be considered as one who could do it single handed. Even then, he still had help.
We the people need to recognize it show the media some resolve.
I was there on March 17th with my Vietnam Veteran and military retiree father who is 100% disabled. I saw him greet other men as brothers who he had never met before but shared a common experience of the Vietnam War. I heard and saw men and woman singing the National Anthem who have shed blood for this country to preserve her freedoms and integrity. And to a person I heard “This will not stand!!” we will not allow what happened to us happen to our soldier on the field of battle in Iraq.
We must stand up against our own media, the naysayers and the folks who would sell out our country to the jihadi’s.
My son is a Navy Corpsman with service in Afghanistan and Iraq in his resume. The rule in our house has always been “If you mess up you have to deal with me, If someone messes with you THEY have to deal with me”. Well it is incumbent on me to fight for my son and his brothers and sisters in uniform.
The media and the Jihad Janes and their worthless ilk must not allowed to denigrate the service of our men and woman in uniform.
AND I WILL FIGHT THEM IN EVERY WAY I CAN
We cannot allow what happened before to happen again
Maybe if Jane does start a Jihad she would blow herself up!
Go for it Jane! Just don’t kill other people while doing it.
I think Kronkite is a contraction of Krankheit, which IIRC means ‘sickness’ in German. How appropriate!
Thanks, do the dhue!
It’s too bad we live in a post-treason era. This era began, at the latest, when JF was not tried and executed for treason.
“Standing up to our own media” We can all play a role in this! Don’t buy thier papers, don’t watch thier channels or programs, and most importantly don’t buy from thier sponsors! If you hit them where it hurts, in thier pocket you can have a great effect! remember “WE THE PEOPLE”
Thanks for your service to our great country. Wish I could shake your hand.
As the Internet grows and matures we will have the ability to remove any of them at any time.
LOL
That is appropriate
I certainly hope so, muawiyah!
I can still very well remember hearing those B-52 strikes
on Hanoi,you could hear them all nite long in Quang Tri
in `71.
The leftist are the same today as then,maybe even more
evil today.
Hell,back then our enemy didn`t want to kill us all.Today
with an enemy that does the MSM & Dims still want us to
surrender.
I am telling you, when I stood amongst all those Vietnam Vets, I felt like I was with the greatest group of people since the signing of the Declaration. Real Americans. It was awesome. Thank your son for me. And thank you.
May God Bless you and yours.
