Yes, Neo, I Suspect They Are That Ignorant

clipped from neoneocon.com Here’s American History 101, the 60s according to Osama: In the Vietnam War, the leaders of the white House claimed at the time that it was a necessary and crucial war, and during it, Rumsfeld and his aides murdered two million villagers. And when Kennedy took over the Presidency and deviated from the general line of policy drawn up from the White House and wanted to stop this unjust war, that angered the owners of the major corporations who were benefitting from the continuation. And so Kennedy was killled…. But Osama seems to think that JFK was elected President on some sort of anti-Vietnam War platform after Rumsfeld and his aides did all this Vietnam villager killing. and that Kennedy was then killed because of his antiwar activity. I’ve often lamented present day ignorance of history in general, and of the second half of the Vietnam War in particular, but this is ridiculous.

Sadly.
