Nixon, who you categorize as slimey, opened access to Red China
and
ended
the Viet Nam war, yet he is villified for trying to jack with the
Democrats. Oh well.

Maybe I was hallucinating, but I seem to recall our embassy staff
being
hustled off a rooftop in a helicopter. Nixon had no choice but to
end
the
war.


That was something like two years after most of the troops had left,
peace accords had been signed, etc... except of course for the
Marines
of the Embassy Guards.

I'd relate a scary theory about that war, but I don't think you'd
believe
it. I didn't, either.

Thanks for sparing me that (g).

If you're curious, read this first - it's orderly and easy to digest:

These revelations have fueled the debate about whether the Gulf of Tonkin
incident really happened as advertised. After all, the same nut-cases were
still bouncing around the Pentagon. Since the Northwoods thing never came
to
fruition, they were still looking to kick some commie ass, and needed a
reason.


WHAT "debate"? It's on the record that the incident never happened as
advertised. Johnson is on record as agonizing whether to go ahead and
pretend it happened -- or be honest.

I agree, but there are still many people who believe them thar commies
attacked our derned boat. In newsgroups, it's safer to leave doubts, or an
idea that should be communicated in 3 messages will turn into 12,000
messages.
