First Time as Tragedy, Second Time as Farce
Walter Cronkite — who probably did more than any other individual to cause American defeat in the Vietnam War and the resulting death and misery by proclaiming that we could not win — is now saying the same thing about Iraq.
"It's my belief that we should get out now," Cronkite opines, insulated by his arrogance and moonbattery from any awareness of the disastrous consequences to Iraq and to the world were we foolish enough to abandon the fledgling democracy.
Cronkite has also proclaimed that we are no safer since deposing Saddam. Never mind that a hostile dictator with a history of supporting terrorism and using weapons of mass destruction has been removed from power. Never mind that the front lines of the war with Islamic terror has been moved from Manhattan and Washington to the other side of the world.
This tinfoil-hat–wearing fifth-column elitist was known as "the most trusted man in America" when he did his part to secure a victory for totalitarianism in Southeast Asia. Now he is known as an elderly has-been with paranoid delusions who would be well advised not to speak in public.
Complaining of his retirement that he's "regretted it every day since," the 89-year-old Cronkite jokes that he's "standing by if they want me" to replace the disgraced Dan Rather. They would be better off bringing back the Dan.

Someone should ask Uncle Walt why he thinks the Boat people left Vietnam.
His answer would surely be: "to meet Walter Concrete himself, noble freer of uneducated slanty-eyed peasants from capitalist exploitation."

You have to cut Uncle Walter and Murtha (Cindy Sheehan in a suite) some slack.
They're both about 102 years old for one thing.
For another, they were nattering their latest nothings during a full moon... or maybe it should be called a FOOL MOON!
