About how America became involved in certain wars, many conspiracy theories have been advanced — and some have been proved correct.
When James K. Polk got his declaration of war as Mexico had "shed American blood upon the American soil," Rep. Abraham Lincoln demanded to know the exact spot where it had happened.
And did the Spanish really blow up the battleship Maine in Havana Harbor, the casus belli for the Spanish-American War?
The Gulf of Tonkin Incident, involving U.S. destroyers Maddox and C. Turner Joy, remains in dispute. But charges that North Vietnamese patrol boats had attacked U.S. warships on the high seas led to the 1964 resolution authorizing the war in Vietnam.

Everyone of those good presidents had served in the military of some sort, not like the draft-dodger Clinton, and the pot smoking foreigner we have now!
10:07 PM I guess they at least put their time in. But that does not justify the behavior of our leaders. The merits of going to war should stand wholly on their own. If we should be involved in a war it should be for reasons we all agree on and not because some secret backroom meeting that gets 100s if not 1000s of innocent people killed. I don't know about you but I don't like being manipulated by our government. And I certainly dont like the idea of being a statistic to justify some warhawks agenda. And back to your point especially when that warhawk has done nothing to add to this once great nation.
