#1 I have the utmost respect for Col. Bay, but both AQI and it's parent AQ have been trying this very thing for years, the last attempt around Ramadan, and have thus far failed miserably. I believe that David Petraeus knows the sorry history of Vietnam and is quite aware of the obvious.

#2 And...

Information to the American public is no longer strictly controlled by the media. So the MSM won't be able to get away with the outright lies and fabrications like Cronkite and company enjoyed.

Bloggers and the like will call their bullshit for what it is - just ask Dan Rather. Between fabricated photos to fabricated missle attacks on ambulances to fabricated civilian casualties.

#3 This time our Generals and our Commander in Chief had better be working to circumvent this "Tet Offensive" before it happens. And have everyone that will be impacted in Iraq and the public in America versed on this possibility, if the terrorists are able to pull it off.

#4 They will try, just like their MSM traitors and ilk will try to show that we are losing.

They will fail.

#5 This is why Bloggers, and their 'reporters' need to be invited to and attend press briefings and conferences. Particularly white house press conferences - if the Press Corps doesn't like it hold separate conferences elsewhere (with real journalist and bloggers) where you give the meat-and-potatoes version of the briefings and give the press corps the baby-food version - since that is about what they are anymore.
