Pat Buchanan is blaming the media again for our loss in Vietnam!

Dear Pat,
We lost because the Vietcong had the larger army, the backing of Red China and the greater will to win. The Vietcong beat our troops back to the outskirts of Saigon and began infiltrating that city and that's why Saigon fell. We had a choice, we could stay and engage in house to house combat or we could leave. Army commanders chose to leave. There were years of protests, of media coverage, of Jane Fonda; none of it lost the war. Face it, we lost fair and square. I know that is painful for you to admit but that's life, deal with it!

Sincerely and get off my tv, Gogi

1. Where was Pat when Murtha

explained how it was NOT the media that lost Vietnam and the media is not losing Iraq. He said this on something I saw in the middle of the night (repeat most likely).

BTW be ready for lots of the media is lazy and losing the war in Iraq that started today. They just can't get reality to fit their spin.
