Is Idea Of Iraqi ‘Tet’ Fantasy?
Filed Under Election 2008, Iraq War, war on terror | 2 Comments
Will Iraqi insurgents try to influence the 2008 U.S. Presidential election by launching a terrorist-filled Iraqi-style “Tet” offensive designed to break the American will?
From Austin Bay on Real Clear Politics:
Sometime within the next six months or so, al Qaeda or Saddamist terrorists will attempt a Tet offensive.
No, Middle Eastern mass murderers don’t celebrate the Vietnamese festival of Tet, but trust that America’s enemies everywhere do celebrate and systematically seek to emulate the strategic political effects North Vietnam’s 1968 attack obtained.
This spring marks the 40th anniversary of Hanoi’s offensive (yes, 40 years, two generations). It will also mark the umpteenth time American enemies have attempted to win in the psychological and political clash of an American election what they cannot win on the battlefield.
