#1 Sounds like a repeat the Tet Offensive. The VC were virtually wiped out and the North Vietmanese Army were on the verge of talking peace.

But Cronkite and others in the MSM termed it a vast disaster for the Americans and South Vietmanese - prompting the American pullout and eventually the fall of Saigon.

Millions died because Cronkite lied and Hanoi Jane (and indirectly John Kerry) supported North Vietnam.

Not to mention the slaughter in Cambodia....

#2 Not going to let it happen again. thank God for the internet.

And if they do manage to fool the people again (and this time with a definite political agenda), the Press will pay a PERSONAL price for this.

#3 I hear you perfectly OS.

"Not going to let it happen again."

We may already be too late. If the Dems take back control of the House and Senate, my take is that the MSM will celebrate the breaking of the will of the American people to wage a just and defensive war TWICE within the past 40 years. Of course, the MSM doesn't see it that way, but someday that's how history will view it.

Since it will be my children and my children's children that inherit the muslim wind, in no small part thanks to the MSM, I'll take that.......PERSONALLY.

#4 Since the end of WW II, there's been a change.

If the US is in a war, it does not matter where, the most important terrain in the war is the six inches between the ears of the American voter. Probably the last folks to figure this out are in DC. The commies and now the terrs know it perfectly well, as does the MSM.

#5 Thank you for posting this Brett. What a refreshing change from the old Gloom & Doom spewed by the Media.

I look forward to the day when talking heads from the mainstream media can be found begging on street corners. I'll scatter a handful of pennines on the ground to watch them crawl for a change.
