As President Obama prepares to respond to General McChrystal’s call for more troops in Afghanistan, Bill Moyers considers another president’s decision to escalate troop levels in a military conflict. Through President Lyndon Johnson’s taped phone conversations and his own remembrances, Bill Moyers looks at Johnson’s deliberations as he stepped up America’s role in Vietnam.
An important fundraising appeal: We fell short of our goal
Thank you for reading Truthout today. We have a brief message before you go.
Unfortunately, donations are down for Truthout at a time when media faces immense pressure. Yet, grassroots media is vital in the fight against Trump’s authoritarian reign. Our mandate to tell the truth, share strategies for resistance, and speak against fascism grows more urgent each day. We must appeal for your support.
If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Please give today.
