. >> after a week of grueling interrogation he was hustled into a jeep and driven eight hours to hanoi. >> next thing i know i'm entering this old big prison compound. i was the first occupant. we later gave it the name henry hill. >> robert mcnamara and joint chiefs of staff knew that was very likely that a second incident in the gulf of tonkin did not occur but they were anxious to support the president in getting this resolution through congress and avoiding a debate on vietnam. >> the gulf of kontin resolution would allow lbj to use forces without declaring war but mcnamara would have to answer tough questions in closed door hearings. >> he brings with him. chairman of the chief of staffs and they lie about the a.m. but guitsz surrounding the second attack. >> he briefed lbj on the hearings. >> i think the hearings are very satisfactory. it was just near unanimous supported. >> congress overwhelmingly passed the gulf of tonkin resolution. it gave lbj the power to take, quote, all necessary measures to repel any armed attacks against the forces of the united states and prevent furth

during the time we spent in preparation and in hanoi, i got to know the secretary a bit. i found him engaging. sometimes more witty than i might have imagined. his legendary energy put me, a much younger person, not in bad shape to shame. his enthusiasm and commitment to the task was admirable. typically, i suspect, the schedule he set in hanoi left absolutely no time free for sight-seeing or anything of such a frivolous nature. it was all work. luckily, the first day we were there, the vietnamese government and mcnamara and the top people in our delegation got into a spat about how much cnn could cover of the conference of those of us who were flunkies, got a wonderful day and a half to see a lot of a fascinating city. mcnamara himself significantly, i thought at the time, seemed to have little interest in learning more about the nation, and the people who had had such an influence on his life. i was also troubled by his view of history, what seemed to me a rather mechanistic ideas that lessons could be extracted. that could be applied with some level of exactitude and p

joe. >> they made landing with the greetings of hanoi anna. >> and guys in your squad say about this.don't worry about this, you are trained. we're going to take them out. >> we an unopposed landing. we were met on the beach with all the locals, lots of kids. everybody thought this was going to be great. >> i got a 65 pound pack, it was 110 degrees in the shade. >> may '65 brought the first rolling thunder. lbj hoped to negotiate and ho chi minh ignored the overture and repaired damage to air defenses. billy was plenty busy. >> did it change your missions at all, increase in troops? >> definitely we moved from the coast area up to the cambodian to the border and special forces started building. >> we cannot be defeated by force of arms. we will stand in vietnam. >> in july, president johnson announced that troop involvement would go to 125,000. >> johnson still wants to avoid a debate on vietnam. what johnson does he under states the number of troops that general westmoreland wants and under states the money it's going to take. >> oliver: initial contact was light. but they needed to

hanoi is being hit with heavy downpours. 33 degrees, tokyo at 26 degrees, with lots of sunny spells fors, beijing heating up at 29 degrees for your thursday high. moving over to the americas, you can see this cloud formation right over here in southern mexico region, it looks like it's going to be heading toward puerto vallarta. it will not intensify into a hurricane. right now it looks like it will maintain itself as a tropical storm. and then it looks like it won't be making a landfall and decreasing its intensity into a tropical depression. it will be accumulating heavy rainfall in the coastal areas. we'll be keeping a very close eye on this system as well. elsewhere here in the americas, a low-pressure system over central canada is still bringing some heavy rain in parts, and the associated front just sweeping across the midwest region. that's going to bring us some severe thunderstorms that could erupt. and we cannot rule out primary threats of large hail, damaging winds, as well as tornadic activity. we're still talking about southwestern winds are impacting a lot of this four-cor

i wanted to put pressure on hanoi by causing all this loss to their side to get them to come to negotiate on the political track." he kept saying, "we had two tracks." and he's absolutely right. he was pushing much harder than any other high official in the administration to get negotiations. he wanted to stop the bombing. he had all these radical positions. so in a sense what i show in chapters 17 and 19 is that he had a position which he doesn't defend but he does explain, which was why it was useful to fight in order to put pressure on the enemy so that we could get a settlement soon. and i believe, as i say in the epilogue, that one reason he carries around so much guilt about this is that he still thinks he could have brought it off and he regrets not having contained the war before johnson eased him out in november of 1967. well, you know, this is not an undiscussable position. i mean, he's a very articulate man. if he wanted to give a speech about this and really explain it in-depth instead of viewing it only through me, he could come forward. and it angers me that he doesn't. i ho
