"Kennedy was rational, Kruschev was rational, Castro was rational." Fine, but today we ARE NOT dealing with rational people in dealing with the insurgency in the middle east, and they ARE going to have nuclear weapons soon and they WILL use them and because they are NOT rational. So how do you deal with that? We nuke them first. McNamara is talking about the past and I'm talking about now. We need to eliminate the threats in the middle east with utter prejudice.

the end conclusion i come to is this bastard was responsible for the deaths of 4 million non combatant asian people and he doesn't even get it yet!his simple lies about the non-existent "gulf of tonkin incident"enveloped the world in conflict,drug addiction,murders,assassinations and death the world could have well done without!he even allowed john kennedy to be killed to further his own career and the vietnam war extremities!he flew to hawaii with jfk's staff to await his death by LBJ/HOOVER!!

Sadly those responsible for that will not be the one's paying for it. The NEOCONS will be protected, saved and preserved from any retributions for their actions while the PEOPLES of both nations will pay a heavy price. THAT is precisely what McNamara is saying.

they will respond to USA, if USA attack Iran. They will attack where US expect the least - in the cities, by disproportional means.

The big problem with the US is it's become too successful. Middle class people have become too rich and have decided to outsource labor, so the lower classes have no opportunities. The middle class has pulled up the ladder that itself climbed. How do we shake the money tree and pick the pockets of the middle class? That's the 40-trillion-dollar question.

I believe that they built a bomb they thought would be 100 MT but didn't get the projected yield out of it. If they did build and successfully test a 100 MT bomb, it has remained classified, because they won't admit it.

we are in Iraq because we NEED to have things unstable. That's how you get business done. DE-stabalize that theater

True. And so some countries can be deprived of cheap oil and thus stay poor. |
