Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"General Westmoreland told me at Cam Ranh Bay, 'Mr. President, no armed forces anywhere, at any time, commanded by any commander in chief, were up to the group that we have in Vietnam today.'"

"The people of our land in this hour of emergency need to understand as thoroughly as possible our national policy and our country's position in the world and in Vietnam."

"Few men have served this Nation longer as Secretary of State and none have ever served it better."

"I do deeply believe that there will be less misunderstanding if the facts are better understood."
