@watmiwori,LBJ engineered full scale US military involvement in Vietnam and it’s fully admitted that that was more trumpted up than "W"’s little facade.
America has not had a decent and honest politician since Eisenhower. They are are terrible people from Nancy – my-husband-sells-tanker-jets-to-the-USAF Pelosi to Obama to Reid.
An good American kid would have to be nuts to join the US military to defend our government.
It’s a finely drawn Oliphant cartoon, no matter what one thinks of its point of view. It’s as if the artist formed a picture out of a tangle of barbed wire.
This “cartoon” is inappropriate and disrespectfull of everyone involved. No matter what anyone thinks of President Obama, show some class and dignity in saying so.
Pat Oliphant, you have jumped the shark. Obama is nowhere NEAR the criminality of this league. Why don’t you *go back to* standing beside a table of leaflets displaying a poster of Obama-as-Hitler?
I agree with what you’ve written based on my reading of Cato’s book except that the Kennedy’s also picked LBJ to deliver the South which he did, even more so than keeping him close. He was a deeply disturbed person, pathological as it gets. Although Cato states unequivocally that he could find no evidence that LBJ was behind the assassination, and although his brilliance in betraying the Southern racists and passing the massive civil rights bills which softened my loathing of him quite a bit, I still had to keep telling myself over and over; “nah, he didn’t kill Kennedy” as I read the books. The thing is, he was about to be dumped from the ‘64 ticket and sent into political oblivion and nobody appears to have gained from the murder of Kennedy like he did. Still, I trust Cato who had no rose colored glasses on about Johnson’s evil and depravity because the man spent years researching, interviewing, and digging up all the dirt (and the good stuff) about the man. Life is complex my friends and can’t always fit neatly into a box.
