Bill Moyers Journal  LBJ's Road to War  DVD 57 Minutes 2009

(NEW: Still in plastic wrap)

As President Obama prepares to announce how many more troops he will send to Afghanistan, Bill Moyers remembers the presidency of Lyndon Johnson and the agonizing decisions that escalated America's involvement in Vietnam. Through Johnson's secret tapes of phone calls and conversations, and his own reminiscences, Moyers recalls the events that plunged us ever deeper into war.

Granted, Barack Obama is not Lyndon Johnson, Afghanistan is not Vietnam, and this is now, not then.  But listen and you will hear echoes and refrains that resonate today.
