LBJ
announced the end of the Vietnam War the Thursday before the 1968 election. A
total cease-fire... North Vietnam agreed. It was scuttled two days later on
Saturday by the South Vietnam govt. It turns out that Nixon told the South
Vietnam gov't that the Democrats are selling them out, and screwing them, the
South Vietnamese Gov't. LBJ called it treason... He was right, Nixon committed
treason. The reason that it was never publicized is because the FBI tapped the
phone lines in Saigon, (Illegal), so the public didn't know and Nixon promised
the South Vietnamese Gov't that he would end the war and he had a better
plan.... (He didn't) and the war lasted another 5 years and another 15,000
troops were killed... this was a lead in concerning Bush's lies concerning
Iraq... The Maddow Blog for the whole story.
