It was I who first posted that. It's taken from a very good Irish political dicussion show. The host, Vincent Browne takes no prisoners.
I thought that it was important enough to track down online and make available.
I'm sure there are numerous clips like this captured on tv stations other than those in the U.S. We just have to hope that someone sees them and thinks enough of the statement to post it online.
Best,
John

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.

One day we may see Chomsky be as gracious as Bill Kelly in admitting his mistake but we've been waiting a while now. :eviltongue:
"The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it." Karl Marx
"He would, wouldn't he?" Mandy Rice-Davies. When asked in court whether she knew that Lord Astor had denied having sex with her.
“I think it would be a good idea” Ghandi, when asked about Western Civilisation.
