    Excellent speech. But he made too many concessions. And he telegraphed his military plans

    He was a phenomenal President - His integrity for the office was the purest of the televised 20th century leaders. He worked so hard for The People, and had deep respect and reverence for our country.

      @@elimaurer9491 This was a lot more than “allegations”. Five of Liddy's operatives were arrested inside the DNC offices on June 17, 1972. Liddy was convicted of burglary, conspiracy, and refusing to testify to the Senate committee investigating Watergate. He was duly convicted in a court of law and served nearly 52 months in federal prison.

      All politicos at the highest levels of political/financial government are ACTORS (clowns) They're professional liars, and yes, many of them play multiple roles upon the worlds stage... i.e. JFK, who is now playing the role of George H. W. Bush, or RFK who is now playing the role of Jimmy Carter... etc... It's all an ACT, and we're clowns if we think our political opinions matter....

    Gradual escalation, what a stupid strategy, should have been air war and no boots on the ground.
