Another Gulf of Tonkin Incident? [View All]

[Brother_1969]

OK, let's assume that Bush's assertion that the Iranians are the only people in the whole world that want to get nukes just so they can start a world war and kill hundreds of millions of people is absurd on its face. Iranians are like anyone else and just want to live in peace.

Let's further assume that Bush is looking for a reason to start a new illegal war but, this time, against Iran.

With these two assumptions, the obviously-fabricated incident with Iranian boats and US ships looks an awful lot like the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. In case you don't remember, a US naval ship was supposedly attacked by North Vietnamese boats in the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964. It was used by the President (then Johnson) to justify an extreme escalation of the Vietnamese War and has, since, been shown to be a fabrication.

Looks like Deja vu all over again.

Does anybody here honestly believe that this Iranian incident was not fabricated?
