Lest We Forget ...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that Michael Moore was the one who said:
"Lest we forget, the Vietnam War represented a mass slaughter by the United States government on a scale that sought to rival our genocide of the Native Americans. The U.S. Armed forces killed more than two million civilians in Vietnam (and perhaps another million in Laos and Cambodia).
The Vietnamese had done nothing to us. They had not bombed or invaded or even sought to murder a single American. President Johnson and the Pentagon lied to Congress in order to get a vote passed to put the war in full gear. Only two senators had the guts to vote "no.:" "

Does this remind you of Iraq? He went on to say:

"... John McCain flew 23 bombing missions over North Vietnam in a campaign called Operation Rolling Thunder. During this bombing campaign, which lasted for almost 44 months, U.S. forces flew 307,000 attack sorties, dropping 643,000 tons of bombs on North Vietnam (roughly the
same tonnage dropped in the Pacific during all of World War III). Though the stated targets were factories, bridges, and power plants, thousands of bombs also fell on homes, schools, and hospitals. In the midst of the campaign, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara estimated that we were killing 1,000 civilians a week. That's more than one 9/11 every single month -- for 44 months."

Liliana Segura writes that in the absence of an effective media ...there are people who are uniquely qualified to ask tough questions about the war hero John McCaine and can't all be considered "surrogates" for Barack Obama. One of them is a man named Phillip Butler, who, has published an article whose point, really, is laid out in the title: I Spent years as a POW with John McCain, and His Finger Should Not Be Near the Red Button ~ saying further that he is fearful
"...that because McCain has a reputation for being a hot head ... he has a quick and explosive temper ... quite honestly, that is not the finger I want next to that red button ..."

Think about it....
