GULF OF TONKIN RESOLUTION

Joint Resolution of Congress

H.J. RES 1145 August 7, 1964
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

That the Congress approves and supports the determination of the President, as Commander in Chief, to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression.

Section 2. The United States regards as vital to its national interest and to world peace the maintenance of international peace and security in southeast Asia. Consonant with the Constitution of the United States and the Charter of the United Nations and in accordance with its obligations under the Southeast Asia Collective Defense Treaty, the United States is, therefore, prepared, as the President determines, to take all necessary steps, including the use of armed force, to assist any member or protocol state of the Southeast Asia Collective Defense Treaty requesting assistance in defense of its freedom.

what dummy rejek does not seem to have a clue about is that that the "The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution" came about because of information, or the reports of action that came from the executive branch.

At the time of the "The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution" 3000 individuals had not be killed in recent years in a major US city.

One can look at the War in Vietnam as a preemptive War to stop the spread of Communism.

The War in Iraq was a preemptive strike to eliminate a clear and present danger of deadly weapons being released or stolen and used against Americans. The mobile weapon's labs demonstrate fully and completely the rationale that hussiens mafia could not be trusted and were in fact engaged in a covert effort to continue programs banned by dozens of UN resolutions.

I'll bet rejek is walking around on the little stubs below his knees. He has been being dragged around by intelligent Americans all his life and the wear is showing.
