Another leftist stuck in the '60s
I've never heard it said better than this,
"Viet Nam was not the same thing as Iraq 1 which was not the same as Afghanistan which was not the same as Iraq 2.
Viet Nam was, at the end, a straight up infantry campaign in bad terrain, and in 1973 we demonstrated that we knew how to win that kind of war, and did. Decisively. Congress abandoned the military and the administration in 1975, or Saigon would be Saigon today. We at least learned not to use conscripts for a foreign war of attrition.
Perhaps we can learn from Viet Nam not to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory." - Jerry Pournelle 01/09/2006
I should add, but more intelligent by far!
Mine too. We were raised right!

...After WALTER CRONKITE fooled us into leaving the Free People of a then Free South Vietnam behind to their fate at the hands of heavily Soviet-funded Communist bullies from the North...
...came:

...WALTER CRONKITE would have the same happen to a now Free Iraq,
...as he gears up to get his old Anti-Freedom TV Propaganda-spreading job back as CBS News Anchor in a new time of war.
...Only this time it's our own Freedom that's stake directly here at home with an enemy that's now just around the corner and up YOUR street.
...And WALTER CRONKITE knows it.

I'll never understand why we haven't run the warcrimes trials and brought this Cronkite guy up to the dock along with Robert McNamara and then hung them.
“Cronkite’s legacy of separating reporting from advocacy has become the norm in television news.”
"It's a neat trick," exclaims the 112-year-old Cronkite, who recently sailed his schooner to Havana "to massage Casto's bunion", in the words of 'the most rusted man in America.'
< / parody >
Cronkite lost any remaining shred of relevance when years ago, he got into an argument with 'Stuttering' John Melendez over the use of the word "friggin' "
It's time for this sanctimonious windbag to leave the United States and go live in one of the many mohametan paradises available.
Perhaps he would be happier in Cuba or Venezuela, where they at least use the same alphabet and he can use his semi-literacy to continue his ruse as a "sage".
The earth would be a much more satisfying place to live if it were more closely modeled on the television show Survivor.
LMAO!
**Then-President Lyndon Johnson reportedly told a White House aide after that, "If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost Middle America." **
I guess right now President Bush is telling an aide that "If I lost Cronkite, I lost the Loony Left Wing of America." "Oh well - so be it."
The same reason we haven't done the same for the New York Times. No one in politics wants to go up against the media.
Not.
CLASSIC liberal nonsensical mindset. Dunno how many of you had the pleasure/misery of interacting with liberals during Katrina, but that was the first thing they started screaming: "Those poor people are dying down there because of Iraq." Absolute idiocy, but a liberal will sieze on any tragedy if they think it will help them score a point.
