Les, how does that compare with Nixon's secret bombing of Cambodia? I think the total tons dropped there was another one of those things that exceeded the WWII tonnage. There was an article drawn up on that one, but it was voted down in the House Judiciary.
Or how does that compare with the Iran airline shootdown, a civilian flight, on schedule, within its flightpath, listening to the correct ATC frequencies, which our warships didn't know. The Reaganauts were pretty proud of that one, and so was the "liberal" NYT. The Iranians deserved it, having been sucked into a long war by our ally of the moment, Iraq The truth, at least some of it, on that shootdown dribbled out over a few months, the initial lines were quite different. |
