You sir give these gentlemen too much credit.

I'd love to see your hitler source.
According to Macnamera it never happened at all, this was in a speech at Harvard in 2004. (Gulf of Tonkin)
And what about the northwoods document (also macnamera)? and the USS Liberty?
You don't give these people enough credit.. we are in 130 countries and somehow people still have the nerve to say our government is inept and stupid. Haiti's government was inept and stupid, the US knows what its doing.
