Reviewing the Gulf of Tonkin

Forty years ago, President Lyndon Johnson asked Congress to grant him power to use force in Vietnam. The events that led to the Gulf of Tonkin resolution have long been the subject of debate and controversy. NPR's Bruce Auster reports.

You've got to listen to this. I was floored by how hard they were trying to get people to make people think that what Pres. Bush did in Iraq was exactly the same as Johnson going into Vietnam.

Listen for the words "SOUND FAMILIAR?" around 6:25.

[OXENinFLA]

Yeah, I know listening to NPR is about as bad as hearing nails on a chalk board, but this you shouldn't miss.


DRIPPING BIAS PING.....................

[Gefreiter]

Oh I'm not surprised. I listen to NPR sometimes when Howie Carr is in commercial.

Just yesterday they were promoting some pro-Dem book...I think it was "BushWorld"...giving it a pretty hard sell. This AM they mentioned an anti-Kerry book (wasn't "Unfit for Command"; don't remember the title) in passing, basically said it existed and moved on to an entirely different topic.

Cronkite: Gulf of Tonkin's Phantom Attack Faulty Intelligence Played Role in Decision to Engage Viet Cong

[Red Badger]

The president lied to the Congress and to the people of the United States. The whole premise for going to war was based on a lie. The armed forces of the U.S. were used for blatant political purposes, not to secure the soverignty of the country but to secure the ultimate re-election of the president. He should be IMPEACHED!........No, wait a minute.......He's dead.....That was LBJ.......Well, we could still IMPEACH him!......him and BJC.....

Turn it off. And pressure congress to stop funding!!!

[bandleader]

Kerry and The DemonRats are extolling his participation(corageous service)in The Vietnam War at the same time as NPR and The Leftist Media are portraying The Vietnam War negatively and trying to draw specious comparisons between it and The Iraq thing!!Wait a minute,which is it?

[TigersEye]

There is one way the Iraq war is the same as Viet Nam. The press is not on our side.

[OXENinFLA]

I was just shocked that they were pushing the "Faulty intelligence"' line so hard

[TigersEye]

I used to use NPR on my clock-radio alarm. No matter how tired I was they would say something that would have me on my feet, wide awake and raring mad. It never took more than five minutes. Good self-control training. It was hard not to smash the radio to bits.

Everything at NPR is viewed through the Viet Nam lens. Makes you wonder about what other superstitions they carry around.
