he didn't care to learn anything else about south vietnam. if he did, he would have learned that there was a majority of the population that was probably, if they weren't already -- a majority of south seat vietnameo weren't already in the national liberation front's camp were probably anti-communist and anti-saigon government. that was a sizable population there, lawyers, doctors, professionals. they could have been mobilized. any other negotiation situation you mobilize that force. the good friday agreement was built on the back of mobilizing that civil society that existed where there was, you know, nonpartisan relationships. and that's what good negotiators do. but that's not at all what happened here. saigon wasn't consulted about its future, its needs, their political dreams were not taken into consideration. and at the end of the day, the united states withdrew and threw saigon under the bus. so i think this is the tragedy of vietnam. you know, 58,000 americans, 3.2 million vietnamese died for the preservation of south vietnam, and it r

the other side of the coin, while i say that we are having success with our military efforts in south vietname enemy is being affected in such a manner that he cannot carry on his military efforts. he can do so. when he chooses to mount some important defensive, he can bring the men down and supply them and armed them to do so. there is some indication that they may be building up to a possible winter-spring offensive. itp in mind he has tried three times now. each time it has been unsuccessful. he may be preparing to try and a fourth time. general abrams' opinion is that if he tries it again it will be no more successful than the others. ♪ proceeds ine war vietnam as secretary clifford what it, and the work continues to exact its toll. yet out of each new battle, it seemed another story emerged of man who valor, like a died leading a jungle attack against withering fire captain the firsti pitts, meager officer of the united states armed forces, to be awarded the medal of honor. ♪ a ron'sin the month, prime minister came to 's primeon -- iran minister came to washington. and now the red carpe

that others might as well and specifically in the case of indo-china, the concern was that if south vietnam was over taken by the communist in the north that laos and cambodia would soon fall. that doctrine was or that notion was inspired in part by what had happened in eastern europe right after world war ii when various governments mostly in central and eastern europe fell to communism, but in that case it was through direct soviet occupation. the concern in east asia was that it might come about through indigenous guerillas who would take over. >> who was funding the north korean government at this time? >> the north koreans? -- north vietnamese was both heavily armed by both the soviet union and china. however, they were bitterly at odds at that point, so they were competing with each other for a greater influence in north vietnam and that worked out well for the north vietnamese because they could play them off and get more weaponry. >> north korea, who was funding north korea at this time and explain what was happening and how that's relevant to what we're seeing today. >> in north co

basically committed treason before he was elected president for the peace discussions by contacting south vietnam to get a better deal. we both know you did it. you've committed treason but johnson didn't have any cachet with the public. so he was deeply compromised and he had been a shape shifter who have been able to obtain that they had been locked in this form of injustice because they have done something so absurdly terrible and as a part of watergate you would see they tried to break into the institution and the planning of that was to destroy. beneath the low concrete richard milhouse nixon descended the steps of the capitol's east end of repeated the oath administered to him by the chief justice earl warren taking office president of the united states. the peace we seek is not victory over any of the people that the peace that comes with healing in its wings as our eyes catch the dimness of the rays of the dawn let us not curse the remaining dark with a scatter the light. the administrations chief speechwriter that helped spearhead the campaign the rebranding effort sought to repackage ni

laos, we were to train, equip and deploy laos soldiers who would interdict the flow of weapons to south vietnam. the trail was about 12 kilometers from our house. in the north, the war was created to actually engage the north vietnamese army as well as the path of the army there. our job was well planned and orchestrated with a minimum of people and equipment. i must say in looking back we lost very few americans. jon's job was to organize these troops in south laos where we lived. i didn't know much about the war when we went. i did not know much about laos. i didn't know much about cia. i learned on the job. i worked in the office. hired about three or four american the wives of cia officers to keep us from drinking every afternoon. we figured that out. we did that too but we were hired to do the menial job in the office. through that contact i eventually got to know what the cia was about there and what we did around the world. my parents came to visit us in laos. what were they thinking? it's a 12 hour time zone difference. my mother and father arrived at the airport and we put them in our

i had been ingesting in one of the things was that the war in vietnam was really our problem, that if we remove ourselves from it the southhe north of vietnam would come together and embrace as brothers, as family and, i bought some of that and i was in the streets against the war, and then what happened, the people in the streets, and by the way we never lost, our military never lost a battle in that war we were on the way to the defeat of the north, but the real energy that closed out that possibility were those people in the street and they certainly weren't the majority of americans, but they were very effective. it's like what's going on now. they have a march, they prepare an army of people to go out and speak and make noise and you would think, if you are watching television this must be the american people, but it isn't. but anyway, they brought down the war and we pulled out of vietnam. what happened? was there this embrace her celebration? no. two and half million people were murdered in laos, cambodia and vietnam because of our absence. and what happened with the left when i saw that, it's the signature of the

if you don't have the people in the south vietnam, the government, itself, didn't want to fight, you can't prop it up from outside. and it's so ironic and so sad now when you think of how many people died. both vietnamese and americans. and now, you know, we can have good relationships with vietnam and it was really, you know, a tragedy. i think michael pointed out that lyndon johnson was afraid that democrats would be criticized for losing a communist state as they had lost china. and yet they're criticized anyway. so at least we could have been criticized and not have so many people die. and have probably a quicker reconstruction of vietnam. >> will is joining us from racine, wisconsin. please go ahead, sir. >> caller: how are you doing there, mrs. lieutenant governor? i just wanted to point out something that's missing from a sort of national conversation. we have a personality who happens to be running for governor of one of the states that dems got to win. illinois. he happens to be your brother. i just wanted to kind of pick your brain and see what are your sentiments to this s
