Got this the other day..............


General VoNguyen Giap.


General Giap was a brilliant, highly respected leader

of the North Vietnam military. The following quote

is from his memoirs currently found in the

Vietnam war memorial in Hanoi :

'What we still don't understand is why you Americans

stopped the bombing of Hanoi . You had us on the

ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder,

just for another day or two, we were ready

to surrender! It was the same at the

battles of TET. You defeated us!

We knew it, and we thought

you knew it.

But we were elated to notice your media was definitely

helping us. They were causing more disruption in

America than we could in the battlefields. We

were ready to surrender. You had won!'

General Giap has published his memoirs and confirmed

what most Americans knew. The Vietnam war was not

lost in Vietnam -- it was lost at home.. The exact

same slippery slope, sponsored by the US media,

is currently well underway. It exposes the

enormous power of a Biased Media to

cut out the heart and will of

the American public.

A truism worthy of note: ... Do not fear the enemy, for

they can take only your life. Fear the media far more, for

they will destroy your honor.

It's what I have said for years. And Giap is one of my sources for saying it. The media has been excersizing their power for over 40 years. You will only hear what they want you to hear and your choices of things, such as elections, are only the things they select. The media is why the messiah is president and only had the wimp McCain to run against.

What will be interesting is seeing what they choose to air over the next four years, current events maybe, real news stories?

I lost count of how many I sent this to. but they still keep coming. I don't even answer them any more. the legend says Rogers wore those long sleeve sweaters to cover up a Marines tatoo. also he was a Marine sniper. amazing how this still floats. some of this crap started back in the 90's:laugh2:
