No he did not. He was consumed by Watergate and as I said the democrat had a huge majority in both houses of Congress back then, Vietnam war was much bloodier and much more unpopular than the Iraq war.

Thanks.

I just hope that the democrats do not cause another disaster. Then millions in Asia died after we ran away.

This time the war will continue on to the US soil.

The left has been trying to make this Viet Nam since the War on Terror began (remember they even called Afghanistan a 'quagmire' within weeks!).

But the two situations are entirely different. Anyone who lived through the 60's knows that the peace movement was a real force then, the Congress was held in a vise grip by the Dems, and the the liberal media had no counterweight (like THIS!).

They will NOT succeed in abandoning our troops again......no matter what Biden and Levin say.

I believe Gerald Ford was President when the funds were cut off. Ford was a weakened President because he wasn't elected, and took over after a scandal, then pardoned Nixon, thus creating a terrible firestorm. He was also a creature of the Congress, having spent many many years there. I can't see him even considering trying to fund the war in Vietnam after just about everybody else was voting to cut and run. And this WAS what the American people wanted, apparently, after all the deaths and no end or victory in sight.
