tom was the cia chief of station saigon when they made the 1972 visit there. they both attended a small function at ambassador bunker's residence, where said polgar of west moreland, i was astonished at his lack of understanding of what was going on in the war even then. in later years, westmore viewed himself as put upon. my years were fought with frustrations and sadness, he said to an hometown audience. no one's taken more good enough than i have, and i'm not apologizing for a damn thing, nothing, and i welcome being the point man. that outlook, no second guessing of himself and no regrets persisted through the end of his life. as army chief of staff and beyond, westmoreland shaped the historical record in ways favorable to his version of reality. this included writing his memoirs. when they were published, kevin buckly, formally the bureau chief in saigon reviewed the book commenting that from the beginning, westmoreland probably expected to write a memo of victory similar to general eisenhower's crew -- crusade in europe. this vietnam has not stopped him

when the plane door opened, when we got to the airport near saigon, it was like being hit in the facerst impression of vietnam. we were near a town on the coast of the south china sea. and the first contingent of nurses arrived there in early march 1967. we had a lot of patience with malaria, fever, and other problems and patients coming in who were wounded. what i do remember -- all of the medical patients had been evacuated to empty the ward beds for the incoming wounded. and after that, it just went on and on and on and on. and everybody just worked constantly, constantly, constantly as the flow came through. and the wounds were of all kinds. head wounds, extremity wounds, body wounds, everything. we had patients who got care just to keep them comfortable because there was no hope for them. i stopped trying to feel badly about it all because i don't think i could've dealt with that. so i just accepted it as part of what i had to accept. i think nurses at one time were thought of, well, they're not really in the military, they're not in combat. but you look at the situations, we wer

saigon fell in a matter of hours when we left vietnam. the situation here, allowing israel to attack vietnam, but let's face it israel cannot be iran one-on-one. should we risk ourselves? they were given a country they should not have been given in the first place. they lost that land fair and square. now they have to do defend it not necessarily on their own. if israel is attacked, by all means defend them. but for them to start planning an attack, no. this is not fair to us and all the other countries that would have to come to help them. it is people are so quick to say a bomb this, they use more bombs than i don't know what in the second world war and they still lost. host: thanks, robert, for calling. joseph is from queens, new york, independent. caller: the iaea is an international institution that opposed the iraq war and is against weapons of mass destruction. when they say iran has the capability to build a nuclear weapon within several months, at the rest of the world should take it at its word. as to the point of whether the is
