A Slam (De)Bunk

Gateway Pundit takes down that recurring meme the press keeps puking up about how Iraq is Vietnam all over again. The only resemblance is the media's alliance with the far left to paint positive developments as outright defeat.

And, as a Gallop poll showed yesterday, through continual bombardment of negative reporting from Iraq, the media is making gains in the propaganda front. In fact the work of the liberal media has been so successful that a majority of the American public is bamboozled into feeling like the the War in Iraq is a quagmire, a money pit, a complete failure, one of America's tragedies… when nothing could be further from the truth!

Despite the fact that a democratically elected government is in place, successful elections have occurred, rebuilding projects are in progress and completed, 14 out of 18 provinces see little to no violence, Saddam has been captured and tried, more terrorist goons are killed or captured every day, the main religious leaders are calling for peace and cooperation, etc…

"52% of adult Americans want to see all U.S. troops out of Iraq within a year, with 19% advocating immediate withdrawal. In the summer of 1970, Gallup found that 48% wanted a pullout within a year, with 23% embracing the “immediate” option. Just 7% want to send more troops now, vs. 10% then."

How the liberal media can compare Iraq to Vietnam is beyond logic or reason. Nothing could be further from the truth!

The unholy alliance of media and the left robbed an entire generation of it'shance to make a different outcome. That robbery led us directly to where we are now. If it happens again, the next time will be utterly appalling in it's outcome.

The left and their fellow travelers bring us closer to war, not further away from it.
