New Nixon Documents Show Concern About Expanding Vietnam War

WASHINGTON (AP)

Henry Kissinger (search) and other top Nixon administration officials worried about how they would explain to a skeptical American public their plan to expand the Vietnam War (search) to Cambodia and Laos, according to newly declassified documents.

A task force that answered to national security adviser Kissinger met several times before the United States and its South Vietnamese allies targeted North Vietnamese supply routes in Cambodia (search) in 1970 and Laos (search) a year later to discuss how to sell the policy to Congress and the American people. ---

I would love to know who released these 'new' documents now. Great Timing. War = Impeach
