WAS THIS PRESIDENT LYING TO AMERICA AND CREATING A INTERNATIONAL DISASTER OF HISTORIC PROPORTIONS?
Just take a look at the following text, my special friends, and think about the question above. The answer is at the end of the four short paragraphs.
...There was also gneral agreement that Congress could not reject the President's requested resolution without giving an impression of disunity and nonsupport that did not, in fact, exist.
There was no support for the thesis on which Senators Morse and Gruening based their opposition- that the resolution was "unconstitutional" because it was "a predatead declaration of war power" reserved to Congress.
Nevertheless, many members said the President did not need the resolution because he had the power as Commander in Chief to order United States forces to repel attacks.
Several members thought the language of the resolution was unnecessarily broad and they were apprehensive that it would be interpreted as giving Congressional support for direct participation by United States troops...
Figure it out?
Today, August 7, in the year 1964, Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the "Gulf of Tonkin" resolution taking our country to war against North Viet Nam.
It would be 10 bloody years before common sense intervened and we pulled out, maimed and beaten. Leaving behind massive slaughter of the humanity, Agent Orange defoliant that still denudes the forest floor and may do so for another 500 years, and a mass migration of the poor and hungry of Viet Nam to the shores of America.
