Some tapes were unearthed which recorded LBJ talking about sending more troops to Vietnam, even though he knew America was not winning or even likely to win.
LBJ admits doing it because he could not get re-elected if he appeared weak against Communism.
The lives of American kids involved in a losing war were worth less to LBJ than his re-election.
Is Georgie having an LBJ moment? I think so...
Hmmm, more troops are being called up. The US is not winning the war. More are going to die horrible deaths and even more are going to be losing their health and limbs for George W Bush's war.
Similarities: The one year rotation. The slick lies and patriotic words wrapped around greed. The troops coming home and starting to tell the truth. The political cowardice in the Congress. The Chickenhawks were safe and sound...
Both presidents were assholes from Texas...
There are differences...
There is one significant difference between LBJ and Georgie Bush.
LBJ had been elected once by the American people.
Antoin Scalia cast the deciding vote for Georgie...
