CRONKITE: WRONG IN 1968; WRONG NOW!

AP/Breitbart:

Cronkite said one of his proudest moments came at the end of a 1968 documentary he made following a visit to Vietnam during the Tet offensive. Urged by his boss to briefly set aside his objectivity to give his view of the situation, Cronkite said the war was unwinnable and that the U.S. should exit. ...

Former CBS anchor Walter Cronkite, whose 1968 conclusion that the Vietnam War was unwinnable keenly influenced public opinion then, said Sunday he'd say the same thing today about Iraq. ... "It's my belief that we should get out now," Cronkite said in a meeting with reporters.

Here are the facts: (1) WE WON THE TET OFFENSIVE; (2) We had NO COMBAT TOOPS in Vietnam as of 3/29/73, and South Vietnam didn't fall until 1975, and THEN, it ONLY FELL because DEMOCRAT DOVES IN CONGRESS - like Kennedy and McGovern, (egged on by doves like Cronkite and Kerry and Fonda) - PULLED THE PLUG ON FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF OUR ALLY: THE SOUTH VIETNAMESE!

Today's doves - Kennedy, Kerry and Cronkite (YUP: IT'S THE SAME OLD TIRED CREW, TOO!) - WOULD HAVE US DO TO THE IRAQIS WHAT WE DID TO THE SOUTH VIETNAMESE.

Instead of the South Vietnamese being as free ansd as rich as South Koreans, they are as tyrannized and poor as the NORTH Koreans. MEANWHILE: the Vietnamese Marxists who tyrannize their own people are NOW BEGGING for the US "CAPITALIST PIGS" to invest in their backwards impoverished nation.

WELL, IF IT WASN'T FOR THE VIETCONG - AND THEIR WILLING ALLIES IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY, (FOLKS LIKE KENNEDY AND KERRY AND CRONKITE) - THE VIENAMESE COULD HAVE HAD ALL THAT USA INVESTMENT STARTING IN 1965! Sh-t: by now they'd be as rich as the JAPANESE!

MY POINT: The oldtimers in the Left simply don't get it: they were wrong then and they are wrong now. It's long passed time they just shut the eff up.
