Rosie Implies Captured Brits Are A Contrived ‘Gulf of Tonkin’ For War With Iran

On the March 26 edition of “The View,” co-host Rosie O’Donnell discussed the Iranian seizure of British sailors. Rosie again gave out false information on national television and implied that this may be a hoax so to provide the president with an excuse to go to war.

“But interesting with the British sailors, there were 15 British sailors and Marines who apparently went into Iranian waters and they were seized by the Iranians. And I have one thing to say: Gulf of Tonkin, Google it. Okay.”

Rosie may have missed the news that not only do the United States and Britain insist they were not in Iranian waters, but Iraq and France do as well. Veteran journalist Barbara Walters did not bother to correct Rosie.

I, as you, have a great respect for history and an eye for perspective; but, you must admit, Googgoogling Golf of Tonking was just too good to pass up.

If we were to wait for acuity to catch up to fame we’d all die of old age.
