And what insurances are there that these are truly accurate unbiased
accounts?

Pay attention, Dave. I said "books which actually quote the handwritten
notes taken by the various players". By players, I'm referring to people
like Nixon & Kissinger. Are you now saying that their own notes, quoted
verbatim, are not to be trusted?

So you're saying that Nixon admitted that he was a "nut case"?

Not so fast. I asked you a question and I want an answer. Here it is again:
"Are you now saying that their own notes, quoted verbatim, are not to be
trusted?" The word "their" refers to Nixon and Kissinger.




At the time you read anything about
Nixon, those documents had not been released. Therefore, what you (and
I)
read at the time was no different than the player whose word you do not
trust now: Richard Clark.

I'm not talking about Nixon specifically, I'm talking about the
Vietnam war. You know the one started by Kennedy, escalated by
Johnson, and then finally ended by Nixon.

Nixon, who escalated the bombing, and lied about bombing in Cambodia.

Where did he lie? Nixon tried to WIN the war, since it was obvious
that we had been doing little more than fighting a cat and mouse game
of stalemate during the last administrations.

Another simple, direct question: Are you saying you are not aware of the
FACT that Nixon ordered the bombing of Cambodia, while saying it was not
happening?

Are you aware of it - yes or no?
