Actually, in December 1968, the president of the United States was Lyndon Johnson, not Richard Nixon. Nixon's statement that there were "no American combat troops in Cambodia" was made in November 1971.

I forgot that fact as well; in fact LBJ started that war, so to hell with liberals claiming it to be 'the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy', who started it.

My personal opinion of Vietnam is basically that, it was a just war, but was approached the wrong way.

Funny though, when you think about it; the Hippies were chanting: 'LBJ LBJ, How many kids did you kill today' - it just shows how the Demon Rats have changed, the Hippies would not shout that at WJC, the stupid lefties have taken over the DNC apparently - They have certiantly have taken over the show - f*** those EEJITS (Irish for IDIOTS) to hell, do they poccess such thing as SENSE.

I just sent Mr. Kopel an e-mail nothing that the date cited was AFTER the Cambodian invasion/incursion, and that the crticial question is whether Nixon made such a statement between Jan 20, 1969 (inauguration) and March 17, 1969 (when Kerry left with 3 Purple Hearts in tow).

I don't think Nixon made such a statement until March of 1970 a couple of months before the invasion/incursion.
