Frank Rich whined:

Tet Happened, and No One Cared

Hmmm… Does that mean he's comparing the recent fighting in southern Iraq to a defeat of the Viet Cong?

Actually, there's no comparison. Tet was noteworthy, not because it was an unexpected Communist victory, but because it was an unexpected Communist attack. The recent fighting, on the other hand, was expected to happen someday.
