Remember when the leftists, led by the New York Times, were loudly proclaiming that Afghanistan would be another "quagmire like Viet Nam"? Does anyone recall any of those armchair "experts" explaining why they were dead wrong, or apologizing for deceiving the people?

This is just like the Gulf War - the media did the same thing - even showing how the Iraqi defenses were designed to be a killing zone.

That goodness our military has real military strategists, and doesn't listen to the media.

It became awful difficult for the Iraqi "kill zones" to be effective when the Americans showed up in the dark, 180 degrees out from where the Iraqis expected (well, the Iraqi's that hadn't yet surrendered).

I have a sneaking suspicion, based on what we saw in the first Gulf War and in Afghanistan, that whatever the US does, will be a complete surprise - to everyone, especially the clueless media.

Never forget: "The Mother of all Battles" became the "Mother of all Retreats"
