Berkeley Professor sends wrong message to the troops...

...natch.

"The clearest similarity (between the two wars) is that we got into both based on government lies. The Gulf of Tonkin resolution (that Congress passed giving President Lyndon Johnson authority to wage full-scale war in Vietnam) was based on an event that didn't happen. We would never have gotten into the Iraq war if claims about weapons of mass destruction were absent."

Robert Bellah, Elliot Professor Emeritus, UC Berkeley
