Published as the 40th Anniversary of Nixons resignation approaches, Wills column confirms that Nixon feared public disclosure of his role in sabotaging the 1968 Vietnam peace talks. Will says Nixon established a plumbers unit to stop potential leaks of information that might damage him, including documentation he believed was held by the Brookings Institute, a liberal think tank. The Plumbers later break-in at the Democratic National Committee led to the Watergate scandal that brought Nixon down. Nixons sabotage of the Vietnam peace talks was confirmed by transcripts of FBI wiretaps. On November 2, 1968, LBJ received an FBI report saying Chernnault told the South Vietnamese ambassador that she had received a message from her boss: saying the Vietnamese should hold on, we are gonna win. [So not only did this red-baiting huckster of the SoCal right wing Not have any secret plan to end the war in Vietnam, he was actively conspiring to keep the war going long enough to become President, so he could keep it going even longer. What a guy. Naturally todays GOP Junior Demons all look to him as the Master of their Craft. He is the man that gave Dick Cheney his start. The most profoundly Evil President since Grant and before Bush 2. Everyone who died in Vietnam or Cmbodia or Laos after 1968, possibly including the Khmer Rouge, all that blood is on the hands of one Richard Nixon, and the True Believers that backed him. No he was not Hitler, but not for lack of trying. He just did not have the Charisma. It was not that he was any kinder or had any brighter vision driving him. Thanks Conservatives. Once again you have really shown the world what you are all about.]
