New tapes show Nixon intentionally prolonged Vietnam
 

History has shown us what a cold hearted piece of shit he was but this tops everything I've seen of him prior. The well known "October surprise" that was the promised peace deal just before the election ended up it was undone by Nixon in an attempt for him to get elected.

He ended up winning the election by an extremely small margin most likely due to the peace deal falling through. The war went on another 5 years cost 15 thousand more American troop deaths and who knows how many on the other side.

If he were alive today a bullet between his eyes would almost be too good for him.

What is worse, is that the powers that be, including Lyndon Johnson knew exactly what happened but couldn't say anything because the recordings came from an illegal wire tap by the FBI.

watching now, i always thought the october surprise was reagan paying off iran during the reagan-carter election conspiracy theory.

Yup, he was Dick-Cheney-Style asshole, no doubt!...

LBJ Tapes Show Richard Nixon May Have Committed Treason By Sabotaging Vietnam Peace Talks

Meanwhile, the assholes behind Operation Iraqi Liberation (OIL), are still alive, and no one is prosecuting them.

I guess we'll learn more in 30 years, once today's scumbags are all conveniently dead and buried too.

I never believed anything they said about the second Iraq war. It was already well known even before the state of union address that the aluminum rods they claimed proved intentions of Iraq trying to get nukes was nothing but bull shit.

It was a documented fact, but still Bush and his cronies used it to sell the war and the facts meant nothing to the fucking dumb fuck sheep that supported it.

the classic part of this is lbj could not say jack shit about it because he acquired the info via an illegal wire tap.

derp all around.

A political career saved at the expense of thousands of American lives.

This is the difference between Fox News and MSNBC.

Fox is a bunch of retards circle jerking fear mongering rhetoric 24 hours a day.

On MSNBC you can actually get a political education. Rachel Maddow breaks it down -- sometimes in epic fashion -- every night on her show. The channel may be extremely biased, but there's no one on FOX as educated and sharp as that lady.

One word : Republicans.

That fucking cocksucker's stupid little stunt extended the war for another 5 years and killed thousands more people just so republicans could win.

Fast-forward to the 2K's, and republicans play war games all over again.

Why the FUCK does anyone vote for these bastards?



Rachel is fucking awesome. Would love to share her hand one day.

USA went to "hell" with all this wars, better to make strong home industry instead using cheap slaves

you don't honestly believe that human nature can be differentiated by political party do you?

The Nixon Administration has been providing the world with all kinds of gifts and wisdom. Pre-emptive strikes, state assassinations, etc. Kissinger made weekly visits to the Bush admin and he is still active today.

"The Fog of War" was enlightening. No conspiracy theories, just some of the criminals relieving their consciences before they croak. What little they have/had.

The struggle over influence in se asia and viet nam continues to today. the China/Japan row over islands has nothing to do with territory. Its all about an ocean filled to the rim with resources. China is flipping out because they have very little ocean access. US wants the lions share and plans on forcing it to happen. Our gov has no problems sending the working and middle classes to their needless deaths over resources and money.

I expect war very soon.

Yeah. We learned that the for-some-reason-often-praised Condi Rice's own people told her that the aluminum tubes were NOT suitable for refining uranium and they were being used for making mortars PRIOR to her making the parroted speech about the possibility of weapons of mass destruction proof coming in the form of a mushroom cloud. And she was even put on the spot on CNN in a live interview about it, but they let her off the hook. Now she goes on talk shows and is.. for some reason.. treated like some kind of fucking folk hero. She's a lying traitor. She should be in jail. Sorry to pussy foot around my feelings on it so much.

Helps put the Reagan/Bush "October Surprise", secret Weapons-for-Hostages deal with Iran (to help win the 1980 election against Jimmy Carter), in perspective:
