James K. Galbraith, "Exit Strategy: In 1963, JFK ordered a complete withdrawal from Vietnam," Boston Review, October/November, 2003
http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/vietnam/exit.htm
After Prouty I had perceived the decision for the Big Dance to be based on Strike One: BOP; Strike Two: Missile Crisis; Strike Three: Vietnam Interruptus.
Surely in the Browne video Galbraith mentions Kennedy going to Moscow with some glee.
Did not Prouty posit the Powers downing as CIA torpedoing Ike's summit.
Galbraith cites Chomsky as rancorously opposing the notion of JFK's withdrawal without victory. Newman sees it as a go, fire sale, as is.
What is the supreme irony in my view is that any chance of a victory military leaders might have envisioned under LBJ's escalation was dashed two years to the month of the coup d'etat.
The Day It Became The Longest War.
