Byrd was not one of the 2 who voted against the Tonkin Gulf Resolution. The 'historic mistake' was voting for the Resolution, and then NOT funding the venture, nor supporting the men and women who were ordered to go. Hopefully, NEVER again. (BTW, I did understand you were just trying to "link" Byrd with these two. I read your post carefully. ) I feel sorry for Senator Byrd now. He needs to retire. In no way do I consider him 'one of the brave few'....... >>>>>>>>. It also brings to mind Wayne Morse and Ernest Gruening, the two senators who voted against the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin resolution, which gave President Lyndon B. Johnson the power to wage war in Vietnam. post-gazette.com --- On August 7, 1964, the Senate passed support for Tonkin Gulf Resolution 88-2, with Senators Morse and Ernest Gruening (D-Alaska) voting nay. The House voted 4160 in support. Prophetically, Senator Morse closed his argument by saying, "I believe that within the next century, future generations will look with dismay and great disappointment upon a Congress which is now about to make such a historic mistake." hartford-hwp.com <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
