That&#8217;s why Johnson was eager to jump into Vietnam with both feet using the Gulf of Tonkin incident as an excuse. But according to <a href=\"http:\/\/newsbusters.org\/blogs\/mark-finkelstein\/2011\/03\/23\/howie-hawk-you-cant-stay-out-these-things\">NewsBusters<\/a>, even Howard Dean has jumped on the &#8220;Rush-to-War-In-Libya Bus&#8221;;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>DEAN: I don&#8217;t think you stay out of these things. You can&#8217;t if you&#8217;re the most powerful country in the world . . . You have to take chances.<\/p>\n<p>KLEIN: That&#8217;s not what you were saying in 2003!<\/p>\n<p>DEAN: That&#8217;s because we were lied to about what we were doing . . . we were lied to about the WMD.<\/p>\n<p>KLEIN:  We had the same situation as we do now, which is insufficent information.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I wonder if Dean will tell us he was &#8220;lied to&#8221; when our involvement in Libya goes beyond what the President called &#8220;a few days&#8221;. It&#8217;s already been &#8220;a few days&#8221; and we&#8217;ve already lost an aircraft (to malfunction&#8230;ya know, like in Desert One).<\/p>\n<p>That pesky dust up in Libya has caused the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2011\/03\/23\/president-cuts-trip-short-amid-libya-war-angst\/\">President to cancel the rest of his South of the Border vacation<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Probably because he remembered that Joe Biden said during the campaign that <a href=\"http:\/\/biggovernment.com\/eyeblasttv\/2011\/03\/23\/biden-flashback-launching-an-attack-without-congressional-approval-is-an-impeachable-offense\/\">he&#8217;d lead the impeachment proceedings if Obama went to war<\/a> without Congressional approval. Ya never know&#8230;that might be the one thing Bite Me  promised that he&#8217;d actually attempt. He&#8217;s been trying to be President for decades&#8230;this is his best shot since no one is stupid enough to elect him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of course, I remember when the Democrats were the Hawks in Congress back in the mid-60s &hellip; <a title=\"The new Hawk party\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=22679\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The new Hawk party<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-liberals-suck"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22679"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22679\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
