AJMarine1,,,,, You want to Swift Boat someone relivent,,,,, go aftter Guiliani for running from his duty to our troops & country by failing to serve on the Iraq Study Group just to stuff his pockets with money.

Best of luck to the people of Iraq. Most Americans do not support the destruction of your country, or the torture, maiming, rape, and murder of your friends and family, in this disgraceful and illegal war of aggression against you.

Many of us realize that you have every right to defend yourselves, and that the "al-Qaeda-in-Iraq" ruse is little more than a long list of contrived fables.

Many of us wish that we could have done more to prevent and to stop this criminal abomonation, but we have not given up on you. Unfortunately, we must focus most of our efforts towards defeating the tyranny within our own country, before we can be more effective in helping you to liberate yourselves from the current regime.

Hang in there!

AJMarine1,,,, Don''t you get tired of Swift Boating irrelivent people ?? There are many reasons we lost Viet Nam ------ But, that war is over... This is the New War,,,,,, Bush has screwed up, big time bro... According to many Foreign Policy experts from both party''s, former State Dept. officials & Defense Dept. officials we are losing the War on Terror ---- The Iraq War of Roses, Bush will never be able to lable a victory, & you should pay attention to the Forgotten War in Afaganistan, which isn''t going so hot either.

See if you can find this in your book.

"In 2004, during the 29th anniversary celebration of the fall of Saigon, North Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap thanked the anti-war movement for helping to force out the U.S. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, North Vietnamese Colonel Bui Tin credited the anti-war movement with being %u201Cessential to our strategy.%u201D The visits of Kerry, Fonda, and others to Hanoi, %u201Cgave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses,%u201D he added. Col. Tin summed up the North Vietnamese victory thusly, %u201CThrough dissent and protest [America] lost the ability to mobilize a will to win.%u201D

Danny Schecter:

"Politically the Vietnamese always believed in the importance of the anti-war movement, small and impotent as it may have appeared to some of its supporters. They encouraged it as best they could, knowing that creating a climate of opinion hostile to the war would be one important way of ending it. In the end, their victory was accelerated by Congress'' refusal to vote more aid. That refusal was a response to a climate of public opinion which the anti-war movement helped forge."
- "The Fall of Washington," introduction to General Giap''s "How We Won The War," by anti-war filmmaker Danny Schechter

Someone must have mistaken those words for General Giap"s. But Giap barely mentions American public opinion.

Does he ever.

The bogus quotes, or words to that effect, actually appear in the book"s introduction, written by anti-war activist filmmaker Danny Schechter, so it was probably an honest mistake by someone to come over
that part and thought those were Giap"s words.

General Giap writes that it was the "great victories" won by the NVA that led to the anti-war protests. He writes naively about American forces suffering "bitter defeats" and being "annihilated" and "disbanded" -- a lot of laughably inaccurate stuff like that. As far as I know, the U.S. didn"t suffer a single defeat in battle, but Giap makes it sound like one NVA rout after another.
