>>All the lying on Vietnam was from the American left. <<

I think the writings of McNamara and others demonstrate that this is is not true. Also, Barry Goldwater didn't mince words in calling LBJ a liar on Vietnam. Some interesting reading:

Goldwater was right when he later charged that LBJ lied to Congress about an attack on U.S. ships in the Gulf of Tonkin in August 1964, to secure what Johnson interpreted as a declaration of war. In turn, he dispatched half a million U.S. troops, including young Kerrey, and unleashed history's most intense air war, with more explosives dropped on the thin strip of Vietnam than had been used in all of World War II, leaving 3 million Vietnamese and 58,000 American dead.
