  • Makes me sad the Journal isn't still on the air. Fantastic program.

  • This shows even if a president has a conscience he will always carry out what the multinationals want. In this case they wanted to destroy Vietnam becouse they feared the a good example populist independant development there would unravel US corporate and power interests in the region.

    US multinationals cant enslave the Third World if their governments serve the interests of their people instead of the Empire.

  • Go watch FOX or CNN and find out what your corporate overlords want you to believe in.

  • LBJ had no choice about the war because the military contractors who helped put him in office wanted it. Bell Helicopter,Mcdonnel Douglas etc stood to make tons of money.This is why JFK was killed by the CIA/Secret Service

  • Agree...idiots a plenty here these days.

  • He was seriously misled by bad intelligence. Bundy is "yes'ing" him here. But Bundy and those in the CIA encouraged escalation with their optimism re: US chances of checking communism in the region.

  • LBJ should have gone with his GUT feeling.

  • Moyers is a Bilderberger; it takes two wings to make a bird, eh?

  • "It is the narrow minded who are contributing to the demise of America."

    "There is no freedom of opinion in America" -- Alexis de Tocqueville, 1827

    Narrowmindedness has always been the American way.

  • Strongtuit - dogmatic fool

    Seamuspcoy - "dear leader" - another prize student.

    After reading comments on YouTube I often think we should be refunded the tax money used for education. We are raising a generation of pizza delivery boys.
