Gee I wonder if this idiot reporter is smart enough to realize that Nixon was the THIRD president during the Viet Nam conflict. In addition, I wonder if this idiot reporter understand that Bush will never again stand for election but Nixon was facing reelection?

Does he furthermore understand, that, Nixon didn't actually withdraw.

He might have taken home some troops, but truth be told, he didn't leave fully till the mission was over. When he left office, South Vietnam was free, and was holding its own against North Vietnam, and would have been able to survive on its own if we had merely kept giving it the necessary funding.

It was the Democratically controlled Congress that then snatched defeat from the jaws of victory by overriding Jerry Ford and holding back the funding for North Vietnam.
