and for other reasons, that tom johnson may know better than i do. but then, when nixon came in, had already, before he assumed office, sent a message to the north vietnamese that he was eager to resume negotiations. in the third week of the nixonpresidency, they started an offensive in which every week, up to 500 americans were killed. and many of these attacks, more than half of these attacks came from the areas that were occupied by those four divisions inside cambodian territory. and after we had suffered 1500 casualties, nearly as many as we suffered in 10 years of war in afghanistan, nixon ordered an attack on the base areas within five miles of the vietnamese border, which were essentially unpopulated. so, when the phrase carpet bombing is used, it is, i think, attacks,ze of the probably much less than what the obama administration has done in similar base areas in pakistan, which i think is sanctified, and therefore i believe what was done in cambodia was justified. and when we eventually wiped out the base areas, the casualties went down by

tom johnson mentioned. one thing that the administration would not concede is that we would overthrow and allied government that had supported the united states in reliance on promises made by other presidents. as soon as the north vietnamese agreed that the existing government could stay which was at the very end of the next and nixonstration -- administration, a settlement was achieved. have aview that it could settlement earlier if there resident had been more willing -- their president had been more willing, they could not have had a settlement except for terms of withdrawing unconditionally which nobody would have supported. >> president nixon's chief of staff said in a 1978 television interview that nixon had no intention of quickly pulling out of vietnam. he and two exploit the rivalry between china and the soviet union to improve relations with both of them. vietnam was an expedient where america's intentions and motives were being played out. next an believe that yet to negotiate from strength to p

now, it is my pleasure to introduce lbj foundation chairman emeritus, tom johnson, who will present the program tonight. [applause] mr. johnson: thank you, larry. it is my honor and my privilege now to introduce my friend, dr. henry kissinger. dr. kissinger and i have known each other since 1967. when he was a relatively young professor at harvard university. and i was a very old ranking -- low ranking member of president johnson's white house staff. in july, 1967, dr. kissinger was a top secret channel for president johnson. through french intermediaries, with north vietnamese prime , and the aging ho chi minh. through dr. kissinger, president johnson offered a bombing halt, -- cessation of bombing would lead to productive discussions between the united states and hanoi. president johnson even proposed a direct meeting between dr. kissinger and hanoi's representatives. and as a good-faith measure, president johnson unilaterally halted bombing in the vicinity of hanoi. the north vietnamese response was entirely negative. and i quote. we can neither received mr. kissing her, nor -- mr. k

until the vietnamese were defeated in the sequel to the tet offensive, that tom johnson mentioned. the one thing that the nixon administration would not concede, it's that we would overthrow an allied government that had supported the united states in reliance on promises made by other prominent presidents. and as soon as the north vietnamese agreed that the existing government could stay, which was at the very end of the nixon administration, a settlement was achieved. and i mention it only because america should not torture itself on the view that it could have had a settlement earlier if their president had been more willing. they could not have had a settlement except for just selling out and withdrawing unconditionally, which nobody would have supported. >> there was a -- bob haldeman, president nixon's chief of staff, said in a 1978 television interview, nixon had no intention of quickly pulling out of vietnam. he aimed to exploit the rivalry between china and the soviet union to improve relations with both of them. vietnam was an expedient where america's bona fides, our int

mark: tom johnson mentioned your commitment to the peace process, and the fact that you, in 1973, along with your north vietnamese counterpart, won the nobel peace prize. there are many who alleged you are a war criminal due to the systematic carpet bombing of laos and cambodia. why was that bombing necessary to our strategy in winning the war? dr. kissinger: well, my now, and in my 90's. i've heard this. i think the word war criminal should be thrown around in domestic debates. it's a shameful reflection on the people who use it. let us look -- what was the situation? first, there was no carpet bombing. that is absolute nonsense. the situation was as follows. in the johnson administration, the north vietnamese moved four divisions into the border areas the vietnam and cambodia. on cambodian soil. an established base areas from which they launched attacks into vietnam, and the divisions were put there in opposition to the cambodian government. the cambodian government told them that if we bombed those areas and didn't kill any cambodians, they would close their eyes to it. the lbj admin
