Heh, FL. no dirtier than some of what I heard the 9 Dems say last night. In fact, I was mild by comparison. Want me to drag up some of their lines? You will see.... AND BTW...You tell me...Do you think McNamara and Johnson and the House and Senate supported our soldiers in Viet Nam very well? No, I didn't think you did. Me either.

One more "find" re Vietnam--Mansfield and Johnson correspondence..... Correspondence between Senator Mike Mansfield and President Lyndon Johnson regarding the Vietnam War...... including: 3/Mansfield sent a memorandum to President Johnson on June 9 questioning the decision to commit U.S. troops to combat in Vietnam (Document 341) and another memorandum, dated June 14, to the President on June 22 that offered suggestions for settling the Vietnam conflict. (Johnson Library, National Security File, Name File, Vietnam, Mansfield Memo and Reply) On June 27 McGeorge Bundy sent Mansfield a memorandum, approved by the President, responding to Mansfield's three June memoranda. Bundy noted that the administration valued Mansfield's advice and agreed with him on the importance of limiting the bombing campaign in the north, focusing on the military situation in the south, and moving the conflict in the direction of an international conference to pursue a negotiated settlement. Bundy added, however, that the administration did not share Mansfield's pessimistic assessment of the political and military situation in Vietnam, and did not feel that an effective cease-fire would be as easy to arrange and enforce as Mansfield seemed to suggest.
