You took the words right out of my mouth.

We were attacked by bin Laden, so how did we end up forgetting about him …

Who says we forgot about him? Oh, that’s right… the leftist mouthpieces in the MSM.

Believe it or not, we can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Quite possibly the most ignorant post I’ve read today.

Does that mean lgm, Rusty and Mookie haven’t posted today?

I think it had something to do with the Taliban aiding Osama and generally just being bad people.
Exit question for Alphonse: Have you had your head stuck in a bucket of……aahhhh….well……sand for the last few years?

Wikipedia and else where: The Tet offensive was countrywide in scope and well coordinated, with more than 80,000 communist troops striking more than 100 towns and cities, including 36 of 44 provincial capitals, five of the six autonomous cities, 72 of 245 district towns, and the national capital.[7] The offensive was the largest military operation yet conducted by either side up to that point in the war.

The initial Communist attacks stunned allied forces and took them by surprise, but most were quickly contained and beaten back, inflicting massive casualties on the NLF.

I’ve read that the Viets lost 50,000 troops in the Tet offensive. Hardly a military defeat for America but apparently it did not cover the MSM point spread (overall the Viets lost 1.5 million troops while America lost 50,000).

Will Afghanistan be a MSM Viet Nam type victory. Maybe, maybe not, but Afghanistan is it’s own worse enemy and self defeating in the name of religion, dope, and tribalism.

The Military is far from broken and you wouldn’t believe how many young folks volunteer or are excited to get an opportunity to deploy over to the AOR every time a tasking comes down to our base. I have 3 people from my Squadron on 365 day deployments along with 2 more getting ready to go in the near future. The all volunteer force continues to meet or exceed recruiting targets (thanks to Brit Hume and Fox News for that bit of info we watched this evening) and re-enlistments are through the roof. As I have read before atributed to liberals, whom are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes!

Today’s MSM would have articles in the papers the next day explaining how Pearl Harbor was brought on ourselves, due to our bullying of Japan trade-wise in southeast Asia. Editorials would include pieces about how we need to be tolerant of Japanese culture, and how only a small percentage of the Japanese want violence against other nations. A few months later, there would be articles condemning anti-Japanese propaganda cartoons as ‘hate speech’. Peripheral articles would later include bits on how the exhaust from our battleships and aircraft carriers were causing global cooling, as evidenced by a particularly nasty winter a couple years later in Europe and Russia.

Geraldo Rivera would ‘accidentally’ broadcast the location of the US fleet north of Midway island, from the deck of an aircraft carrier.

Today’s MSM would have had us surrender to Japan at about noon, 7 Dec 1941.

No, wait. It turns out that this light infantry platoon had some hummers, which puts them 400% over allowance for vehicular equipment, and 800% over for heavy weapons, but…you get the idea.
