#2 The USS Maddox had been attacked two days earlier.

Doesn't leave much room for disagreement. Too bad Johnson was interested in the War on Poverty than a real one.

#4 *shrug* All intelligence is incomplete until the enemy files in his headquarters have been read through... That's why the analysts provide probability levels with their analyses. One does the best with the information he has at the time; if the enemy wants one to think differently about things, he need only admit the true situation and provide definitive proof. Intelligence isn't like rocket science, where the answers are absolute and calcuable. But we've learnt not to expect clear thinking from the "journalists" at the BBC.

#5 *double shrug* Don't like flawed? then please pass the aged and perfected intelligence. Oh, there ain't any? Well then be glad you've at least got some intelligence, to include the flawed. It might enable you to move out with a 60 or 70 percent solution, which, when emplemented with enthusiasm and DETERMINATION, WILL MORE THAN LIKELY PRODUCE SUCCESS!

#6 All intelligence is incomplete until the enemy files in his headquarters have been read through . So true.

Immaculate intelligence. Just another shrill demand of perfection from the liberals that they don't require of themselves.

#7 Holey Shjit! Stop the Pressers!

Remember tho that the North Viet's had a known supply of whiz-bangs and used them to deadly effect on that bloody day in the Gulf of Tonkin.

#9 are journalists this stupid?

#10 Tired, dear, think of Muckyspeak as the local Rantburg dialect. When, one day not long ago, the trailing daughters laughed about a Muckyspeak variant used by a poster at the site, I knew we'd truly become a Rantburg family. Or you can think of it as a subset of, as my brother the computer perfesser put it, "I type 120 words per minute, or 60 words per minute after I fix all the typos." ;-)

#11 Wasn't LBJ from Texas? Isn't Bush from Texas? There has to be a conspiracy in there somewhere. Texas has oil. Iraq has oil. Vietnam must have oil! Get 'em!

#14 ...as honest injun as the US Marine Brigade wilfully and undeniably attacked and destroyed several innocent German divisions on RR near Belleau Wood,; as Davey Crockett bayonetted himself at the Alamo; and Colunbus secretly worked for the Ming Dynasty; ...@etc. Yep, America can't be trusted for anything, and we're all Asians and Commies anyways vv the US Ninth.

#15 I've changed my mind. Up 'til now I've supported the Joe2008 campaign, but now I find I can't.

Joe, you must look higher. Greatness awaits you...

Joe for UN Secretary General! SecGen Mendiola, that's what I'm talkin' about!

#17 In the war of 1812, the Battle of New Orleans was fought AFTER the peace treaty (Treaty of Ghent) had been signed.
