The US bombings of North Vietnam were started in response to claimed unprovoked attacks on a US destroyer in the Gulf of Tonkin on August 2nd 1964. The truth was that the destroyer was engaged in aggressive intelligence-gathering maneuvers, but this didn't come out fully until some documents were declassified 30 years later
But President Johnson lied to the US people and started a war against North Vietnam based on an attack on a US ship that was largely or entirely a fabrication. With the 2003 invasion of Iraq being based on lies about Weapons of Mass Destruction it seems that not much has changed in 30 years. source
and now after years ........ the same victum in Iraq war
and who is the next......????
