“ With a little m ore training the
V ietnam ese army will he the equal o f

G en. O ’D aniel, Am erican aide to
Vietnam in 1959: “The A m erican aid
program
has
proved
an
enorm ous success, one o f the major
victories o f Am erican p o lic y .”
O ’Daniel in 1961: “The C om m unists
now realize they can never con q u er free
V ietnam .”
S ec. o f D efense McNamara in 1962:
.“ E v e r y

S ee. o f State Rusk in 1 9 6 4 : “T he

S ec. o f D efense Laird a few w eeks

T he dreary recital could go on and

All this drivel cannot hide the fact that
