John could be referring to Nixon's successful, treasonous intervention in the '68 Paris Peace talks. I had actually forgotten that one. I'm not certain I want to thank you for reminding me. It's such a deeply sad portion of our national past and the deceptions were so many and so deep, that it's not even the slightest stretch to insist that Nixon's entire Vietnam "strategy" such that it was was based on deceptions.

By promising Thieu a better deal later (after the election), Nixon ruined the chance for a much earlier end to the war. And then Mr. Reagan's team did the same kind of thing with the Iranians and the hostages, promising to sell Iran arms if they hung on to the hostages until Reagan was inaugurated. Yeah, the RW is a piece of work all right. Such patriots, lol. What sickness at the heart of this exceptional country.
