With effective control over all the border areas of Laos and Cambodia, the VC and NVA could always outflank South Viet-Nam.

But whose brilliant idea was it to leave that control to them? I believe it was once again Strange and LBJ. Something about "not widening the war" not bombing "Cambodia" or "Laos", when what we would have, and in some cases were, bombing was NVA in Laos and Cambodia. Of course when Nixon finally gave the go ahead to hit the NVA in Cambodia, the left went ape-shiite and the campuses exploded. Well some did, mine went home for Mother's Day. All but the left wing loonies, who either had no mothers, or were not on good terms with them and who proceeded to "vote" for a "strike", when only they were present, They had lost a similar vote a couple of days before when a more representative sample of students, including moi, were present, (if that seems like a typcial Dim "parlimentry trick", it's not suprising since these same folks now control the Dim party)
