“US is sending a [black flag sitting duck] aircraft carrier & bomber taskforce to the Middle East in response to what it called ‘a credible threat’ by Iran.”

“Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution at the insistence of LBJ with the understanding that he'd seek their approval BEFORE launching a full-scale war in Vietnam with US military personnel.”
2,709,000 soldiers & 57,000 deaths later, we lost. LBJ never sought the approval.
