“And what was the ‘deliberate misrepresentation’ that got us into the Vietnam war?”
Gulf of Tonkin incident.
“What was the ‘deliberate misrepresentation’ that got us into the Gulf war? Did Saddam not really invade Kuwait after all?”
Pretty sure they mean Iraq Part II: The Reckoning. Though technically it was Saddam’s violation of the peace treaty, not the infamous WMDs that justified our invasion. If you care about legalistic official justifications.
“World War I”
We all dreamed that the Lusitania and all those other ships sunk. The wreckage they occassionbally find are all pieces that fell off the Titanic.
“The civil war?”
Unsurprisingly, there are questions concerning what went down at Fort Sumter. Specifically whether Lincoln intentionally provoked Johnny Reb by resupplying it, or something. I forget.
OK, although we were already in the war before the Gulf of TOnkin, but not in a committed way, so I’ll grant that.
And the Iraq war is usually called the Iraq war, not the Gulf war. The Gulf war was the first war.
