Moyar
:::::::: LBJ went on national television within days and exaggerated the attack and its significance, and then obtain an extraordinary resolution from Congress within days of that.[http://www.vw.vccs.edu/vwhansd/HIS122/TonkinGulf_Incident.html] If Moyar says that "LBJ refused to act," then it is Moyar who loses credibility by downplaying how LBJ acted in the most aggressive manner possible to boost his popularity weeks before the presidential election. It makes me wonder what Moyar says about other political issues.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 21:05, 15 January 2009 (EST)

:::::::: Moyar says LBJ refused to act after the first attack, but that heavy pressure from the pentagon forced him to act after the second (supposed) attack. [[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 22:52, 15 January 2009 (EST)
