general westmoreland, do you want mr. jennings there filming this lieutenant trying to maintain order over his men? well, if mr. jennings is on the battlefield with his cameramen, he is not going to be welcomed in that platoon because it's not only mr. jennings. you got a sound man, and you got a photographer, and that is going to give away downs' position. i may complicate his job, but i'm not in a position to give his position to the enemy. i'm part of the unit. what i'm saying is, you don't belong there, and the combat troops don't welcome you there. i've been with this unit for some time. though lieutenant downs has been a little difficult, i got to know the men. even he doesn't think i'm the worst thing to come down the pike. he's not thinking too much about me, but about his man. i'm staying out of his way. you may be there by happenstance, i admit, but since i've got the floor, i'd like to make a few points. he...allegedly gave orders that he would take no prisoners, but i would like to ask him this. you attack the

general westmoreland? well, it's rather repugnant to me, and i think it would be repugnant to the american listening public to see on film in the united states an ambush of an american platoon by our national enemy. uh, the conclusion that would be drawn is that the network is in cahoots with the enemy. general, the question is raised, actually, in the cities of this country, in which you say, "if you knew a murder would take place ahead of time, "would you cover that story? "would you let the object of that murder know? would you let the police know?" i've answered this question before. i think i would surely not let the man or the woman be murdered. i would let the authorities know. then you say, "all right, "under those circumstances, now, move it over into war." i'm going back and forth as i sit here. i understand all the stresses and strains that are going on. it's a hell of a dilemma to be in. i think... i don't know what the hell i think. you'd be calling me back, i hope, to tell me it wasn't such a

if you'll forgive a little histories are i served as an analyst breather for general westmoreland in vietnam in 1966. i kind of lost my professional innocence a little but then when i found out by operational commander sometimes don't agree with their views and the success of their campaign as compared to that perspective displayed by intelligence. fast-forward about 25 years or so when i served as the chief of air force intelligence during desert storm. general schwarzkopf protested long and loud all during the war and after the war about the accuracy of intelligence and the fact that it didn't comport with his view. classically, intelligence is supposedly in the portion of the glass is half-empty and operational commanders and policymakers for that matter is the glass is half-full and probably the truth is somewhere somewhere in the water line. so i don't find it a bad thing and in fact i think it's healthy that there is contrast between operational commanders believe and what the intelligence community assesses. >> thank you very much. senator mccain. >> i want to follow up on the

westmoreland, five minutes. >> thank you, madam chair. mr. cordray, what would be your personal run over here? i know it's hard to get the direction from down there. what would be your personal definition of fair, f-a-i-r? >> congressman, i don't know that my personal definition is relevant here, because unfair is a defined term in the law, and my job as director of this bureau is to enforce the law that congress has enacted, and therefore we will apply the terms that congress specified as to what unfair means. but i do think it's likely that you and i and most people would have a fairly common sense, probably consensus view of what is fair and unfair. not to say we would agree in every circumstance. there is probably a specific number of circumstances that we would all agree that something is unfair. and then there are areas that are gray areas where we should as a bureau tread cautiously and be a little careful. you don't want to come down on people when things are not clear. >> that's fine. what is the definition of fair that you're going

would not have enough troops to do what westmoreland was doing, to prosecute the attrition war that he's going to do. and he believed that the u.s. would end up having the same problems and the same fate as the french had. and so he adopts a very aggressive form of phase two where he's really going to -- he's not going to go full conventional war against the americans, but he's going to very aggressively fight the arvn, fight the american army. and to provide the strength for this, the north basically moves to a point of the mobilizing the entire country for the war where north vietnam has to become a base for sending men, materiel and so on for fighting this war in the south. the problem with doing this, through 1966 and 1967, they pursue a very aggressive form of phase ii. they're trying to keep the u.s. off balance, trying to end pacification -- american pacification programs, trying to break the army. but they suffer a lot of casualties doing this. and it isn't having the effect that they think it's going to have. they think they're going to break the american and the south vietnames

westmoreland, for five minutes. mr. westmoreland: thank you, mr. speaker. all of the above energy is the plan first introduced by house republicans when gas prices spiked during the summer of 2008. for two years prior, congressional democrats were following a green energy plan only. doing their best to completely eliminate the traditional forms of energy like petroleum, natural gas, and coal that account for 83% of our energy consumption. when president obama took office in 2009, he took up their flag and began pushing for his controversial cap and trade law that even he admitted would mean electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. he appointed an energy secretary that admitted on national tv that he wanted our gas prices at european levels. well, they are both on their way. since then energy costs have doubled, gas prices have skyrocketed, and we are in a crisis in this country when it comes to our energy use. just as we saw in the summer of 2008, when these gasoline prices spiked, and our energy costs rose, the price of everything else was soon to fo
