mcnamara. robert mcnamara wrote a famous book in the mid 1990s, the burden of the book is essentially, don't blame me for vietnam. i was only secretary of defense. blame president johnson who was gung ho for going into the war in vietnam. that shows one of the benefits of these tapes. unlucky for mcnamara, about a year or two later came out a lot of tapes on vietnam with lbj talking to mcnamara. far from telling lbj that vietnam has got a lot of problems that you should consider, mcnamara is there saying, i was president -- i can tell you he would have done this. i can tell you, essentially that it is necessary for us to win in vietnam in order for us to prevail or survive in the cold war. so i would like to think also, and i think this is probably true, that lbj knew that making tapes of these conversations would protect him against opportunistic advisers like mcnamara who tried to claim later on that they gave him advice that they actually did not give him. that was the basic inspiration that

our next clip, is off of conversation involving robert mcnamara. i believe here, where he's talking about what he and the president and the rest of the -- door trying to achieve and what they didn't know. >> he was determined to try to avoid war in connection with the cuban missile crisis, neither he nor others of us knew how dangerous that situation was. we knew it was dangerous, but we didn't know that at the time at four p.m., saturday, october 20, six the critical hour of the cuban missile crisis, when the chiefs recommended union that unanimously to attack, nobody in the room knew that at that moment of time, when the cia was stating, estimating, there were no nuclear warheads on the soil of, cuba with photographs of the missiles, but no nuclear warheads there. it wasn't until 23 years later that we learned that there were 170 nuclear warheads there, roughly, whatever 60 or 70 tactical they were using against the invasion, flight 90 or so to be used on missiles targeting on 90 millions americans on the east coast. but he was so determined to g

we've just heard my former boss secretary mcnamara make a reasonably long statement. that was accurate. we're unusually privileged on that occurrence and something very unusual for, a former official to say we were mistaken in what we believe at this particular time when i was in office the message, went out to people announcing this conference, had them wrapping it, which i first saw on the first day i was back in the pentagon that was tuesday, october third, the day after the president's speech. like some of the rest, you i watched that speech. my in california was telling him i had no precursor of it. i was particularly struck by one statement that was made that a single nuclear warhead which you can find there were a number the caribbean against, the united states or anyone else in latin america would result in a full retaliatory response like the soviet union might, one that's a pretty strong statement. i wonder if the person writing knows exactly what he was saying and almost surely didn't do as science and i doubt very much. i know pretty much who knew what i d

robert mcnamara said in 1965 that there's no indication that the soviets are going to try to pursue a strategic arsenal as big as ours. that was basically done and we're going to have superiority the foreseeable future and already at the beginning of the nixon administration, it's clear that that is not true. the soviets had caught up in numbers of launchers, not warheads, but launchers and and direction was obvious. and nixon and kissinger were concerned the us would not be able to maintain superiority, that it would undermine the credibility of us promise to protect western europe. and you know, one solution to that is to just continue the arms race and to build build a huge missile defense and more launchers. but they were concerned that they wouldn't be able to do that because politically it was problematic and that congress wouldn't go for it. so, again, you know, the motivation for arms control here are not the same as perhaps the motivations were on the left. nixon and kissinger were not worried about reducing global. they were worried protecting the credibility, the american d

but we did ourjob for mcnamara. we helped him get the bombing started and carried it on.een part of that. i look back on that with amazement, almost. then i was in vietnam, but then i read the pentagon papers. i knew coming back from vietnam, as everyone knew coming back who'd been involved in combat extent because we were not going to win. we were not going to get these guys to quit. they were not going to quit. some of your critics, i'm going to quote one of them. he's an academic called gabriel schoenfeld. he has written about your decision. and he said, "there is a fundamental arrogance about what daniel ellsberg did" because, he said, and i'm going to quote him, he said, "you know, we have a system for controlling critical national security secrets." very, very well controlled. and he said, "you know, this is established by the congress, by the executive branch, both of which are elected by the people." congress had nothing to do with it. congress has nothing to do with the classification system. it is an executive system ruled by regulations from the defense departm
