I was thinking of Thailand, which was hyped as the BIG domino.

Thank you for this important post.

I lost a number of close friends in SEA during the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club days; and was close enough, later, to the power base in Washington to state without reservation that Kissinger is totally amoral; and cannot be trusted to fufill a national role with any objective on his part other than self-aggrandizement.

I remember all too well this despicable Kraut's power grab (1972-3)--thus shutting out My boss, Adm. Moorer (then Chairman) to the point that the Chairman had to establish his own internal spy ring to find out what Nixon and Company were up to in execution of critical foreign policy.

In summary: Kissinger is beyound contempt; a snake-oil salesman that should be behind bars as an indicted felon...and, further, an intellectual traitor to the USA.

Happy Thanksgiving. Had to get this off my chest. Wow !!
