Comment: (shrug) You trot out a mix of selective historical snippets and old conspiracy theories, but at the end of the day it was the Nixon administration that wound down and ended the Vietnam conflict, no?  (I mean, there were old stories that Roosevelt "knew about Pearl Harbor" before it happened, and deliberately let the U.S. be drawn into WWII.  Are you still mad at him, too??)

If you still have ire over Vietnam, lay it squarely at the feet of LBJ.

No one said Tricky Dick was an astronaut, but his administration financed NASA at the time and the moon landing happened on his watch, so he gets the credit like any other President would have.  (Like Mr. Obama gets credit for a rising employment rate in the nation the last couple years of his administration, even though he may never personally have hired a single soul.   Come on, eric, don't pretend to be so dense.)  :-/

(One final note:  Nixon has been dead for years.  Maybe it's time to Just Get Over It??)
