Rosie talks about British in Iranian Waters & Gulf of Tonkin

Rosie O'Donnell speaks out about british soldiers in iranian waters and encourages viewers to google the Gulf of Tonkin. Gulf of Tonkin Incident was an alleged pair of attacks by naval forces of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (commonly referred to as North Vietnam) against two American destroyers, the USS Maddox and the USS Turner Joy. The attacks occurred on 2 August and 4 August 1964 in the Gulf of Tonkin, though the second attack is in question. North Vietnamese torpedo boats in the Gulf of Tonkin were alleged to have attacked without provocation these two U.S. destroyers that were reporting intelligence information to South Vietnam. President Johnson and top U.S. officials chose to believe that North Vietnam had just attacked U.S. destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin, even though the highly classified signals intercepts they cited to each other actually described a naval clash two days earlier (a battle prompted by covert U.S. attacks on North Vietnam), according to the declassified intercepts, Johnson White House tapes, and related documents posted by the National Security Archive at George Washington University.

Then there was the Tonkin Gulf resolution: Congressional resolution passed in 1964 that authorized military action in Southeast Asia. President Lyndon B. Johnson and his advisers decided upon immediate air attacks on North Vietnam in retaliation; he also asked Congress for a mandate for future military action. On Aug. 7, Congress passed a resolution drafted by the administration authorizing all necessary measures to repel attacks against U.S. forces and all steps necessary for the defense of U.S. allies in Southeast Asia. Although there was disagreement in Congress over the precise meaning of the Tonkin Gulf resolution, Presidents Johnson and Richard M. Nixon used it to justify later military action in Southeast Asia. The measure was repealed by Congress in 1970. Retired Vietnamese general Vo Nguyen Giap, in a 1995 meeting with former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, categorically denied that the North Vietnamese had attacked the U.S. destroyers on Aug. 4, 1964, and in 2001 it was revealed that President Johnson, in a taped conversation with McNamara several weeks after passage of the resolution, had expressed doubt that the attack ever occurred.

This was googled from a few different sources, but please, check the facts for yourself. Everyone should be dilligent about that.

Also This is something interesting i just found http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4696092/

An article from 2004 with widow's who's husbands died on the World Trade Center bringing up so major questions. People are often so quick to say that by asking questions it's dishonoring the memory of those who died, but these women certainly feel it's completely appropriate and necessary to seek the truth.

Also, truth movement getting media attention:

OK Rosie the geopolitical genius..........I googled "Gulf of Tonkin"..........what's next?

The Gulf Of Tonkin was the event that started the Vietnam war, where 58,000 American Soldiers were killed.

In a major revision of US military history in 1995, former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara said he believed the Gulf of Tonkin torpedo attack never occurred.

We call that a false flag attack, A staged event as a pretext to invade another country.

Many Americans believed the event was staged and were called conspiracy theorist and laughed at.

if you should get anything about the gulf of tonkin incident, it should be that the US government has LIED about things to push us into a war. they definately did lie about the gulf of tonkin incident, and over 50,000 american troops and over 4 million vietnamese were killed, over a lie. if they lied to you once, they will lie again, and guess what? we are fighting a war that the vast majority of americans are against now. they will keep lying

I think Rosie stopped another "Gulf of Tonkin" by shedding a light on LIES that were told to us in the past. We can't be fooled again.

The Bush family have been profiting from wars since WWI. Oil is nothing to the Bushes compared to their defense and investment banking interests.
