Believing that the attacks had been unprovoked, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution on August 7, 1964.

He just told them what they wanted to hear, which was yes. When they asked if they were winning the war it was yes, when they asked if the war would be over soon it was a yes. Johnson's tactic worked until veterans were coming back from war and telling how bad it was.
