Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) proclaimed on the House floor that “victory had been achieved” by the United States in the Vietnam war and that, “[t]oday, we have two Vietnams; side-by-side, North and South, exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace.”

The reality is, of course, that since the withdrawal of the United States in 1975 – three years after Lee graduated from college (with a degree in Political Science) — what used to be North and South Vietnam have been united under a single communist government.



Rep. Lee is a member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

It was also Rep. Lee who during a visit to the Jet Propulsion Lab asked a NASA scientist whether the Mars Pathfinder probe had photographed the flag that astronaut Neil Armstrong had left behind in 1969.

Armstrong had, of course, left the flag on the moon, not Mars.

No manned spacecraft has visited Mars.
