The guys on the ground in Iraq say the terrorists are getting weaker. That the importation of terrorists is slowing and that their quality is declining. Very few Iraqis are involved with the terrorists and that the vast majority of the population hates them, as evidenced by the steadily increasing number of tips we get about them and the increasing size of the Iraqi army and police force. Of course that is from our rabidly partisan military, not from the totally objective and dispassionate press corps.




General W. Westmoreland was widely quoted saying, "We have reached an important point, when the end begins to come into view," and in a televised news conference in late 1967, repeating the words of others about a "light at the end of the tunnel" to describe improved U.S. fortunes. Ten weeks later came the Tet Offensive.
