"..if Nixon hadn't been forced to resign by this scandal, he would have saved South Vietnam...as he did Israel."
He saved Israel because they told him they were going to nuke the oilfields along with the invading forces and Arab cities.

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
-- Samuel Adams
"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them."
-- Thomas Jefferson

P____If that is true, then Israel was risking destroying itself and plunging the world into nuclear war...Nixon couldn't permit that...but I question your sources....Nixon aided Israel because Israel was in peril and that was not in American interest--to see an ally let down...
