The author of The Encyclopedia of the Vietnam War: is correct and I may be wrong, the author says, "[B]Galbraith began warning Kennedy of potential conflict in Vietnam, writing that president Ngo Diem...." Kennedy NEVER - EVER sent Galbraith to Vietnam for a report do you know how to read TOM? And, another one bites the dust![/B]


Scott, be a man.... stop shilling for your book for a minute, and go back over to the Ed Forum and apologize..... Who is attributed as the author of this book, and what information is
presented in the book between pages 89 and 95? I have included pages links above the screen capture crops of pages 89 (second sentence; "from my stay THERE) and 95.......

One or two posts in regular type size and not all in bold is quite adequate to say what you want.

Tom, I'm not disputing the fact he sent letters, is there a serious problem with just me that people don't understand my English? Or, am I not saying what I need to say correctly? Galbraith DID write letters, I'm not disputing that. I never said he didn't write a letter.

If I need to translate in Spanish please let me know, Galbraith DID NOT GO TO VIETNAM FOR KENNEDY AND REPORT BACK TO KENNEDY SENATOR MANSFIELD DID THAT. Do you understand me now?

I am a man, and when I'm right, I'm right. You're trying to prove Kennedy asked Galbraith to go to Vietnam but you'll never prove it Tom. If I were wrong, I would have admitted it, can you? Be a man Tom!

I give up! You win!

Thanks Tom.

Evidently Scott does not know how to use google that well.

BTW, I also named three book sources that I had in my library in my office.

This included, Newman's JFK and Vietnam. Which I still consider the gold standard on the subject.

Here we go again! When I ask for a reference next time please don't give me books, I prefer minute meetings or FOIA documents that can explain everything a little more clearer.


Several books contradict themselves about Galbraith in the Encyclopedia of the Vietnam War that Tom Scully also posted talks about Galbraith and how he opposed the war in Vietnam, however, in his son's book, he says his father and McNamara agreed with how the war was going and McNamara wanted to see it escalate.

In this book, it talks about how Galbraith wrote Kennedy a letter posing his views, however, it also goes on to say that "Galbraith" who was ALREADY in Washington was to fly back to India via Saigon, now does that really make any sense if Galbraith was to fly back to Washington, (your words not mine) and report to Kennedy?

Can you see? If you were to read every book Tom put up they EACH contradict themselves, and I'm not sure Tom even realized that. I believe he was in just too much of a hurry to prove me wrong, which I don't blame him. I'm sure there were multiple researchers looking for the answers, but when it comes down to it, by the time it was all said and done. The bottom line is this, it was Mansfield's report that ultimately had Kennedy realize the seriousness in Vietnam which made him consider the withdraw.

It was because of Galbraith and his later speaking up against the war sending "letters" to Kennedy that had Kennedy send Mansfield to Vietnam.

The End!
