Fifty years ago yesterday, LBJ accused the North Vietnamese of attacking American ships in the "Gulf of Tonkin Incident." Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution two days later.
Unfortunately he didn't have any idea if they were shooting at whales out there.
NOT one of America's city-on-a-hill moments.
No poppies for this anniversary, either. Alas.
