1:20:01
They believe it will fail to achieve
anything fundamental militarily...
1:20:06
...and will result in crushing criticism
domestically.
1:20:10
I didn't ask what your staff thinks.
What do you think, Henry?
1:20:12
What I think is,
they're cowards.
1:20:16
Their opposition represents the
cowardice of the eastern establishment.
1:20:21
They don't realize,
as you do, sir...
1:20:24
...that the Communists
only respect strength...
1:20:26
...and they will only negotiate
in good faith...
1:20:29
...if they fear the mad man, Richard Nixon.
Exactly!
1:20:32
Unpredictability is our best asset.
1:20:35
We gotta take the war to'em, hit'em
where it hurts, right in the nuts.
1:20:37
More assassinations.
Right, Al?
1:20:40
That's what they're doing,
Mr. President.
1:20:43
See, your people in the State
Department, Bill, they don't understand.
1:20:46
You gotta...
Mr. President...
1:20:48
You gotta electrify people with bold
moves. I mean, bold moves make history.
1:20:50
Like, uh, Teddy Roosevelt,
T.R...
1:20:54
...rushing up San Juan Hill.
1:20:56
Small event, but dramatic.
People took notice.
1:20:58
Yes, well, they'll take notice,
all right.
1:21:00
If we sneak out of this war...
1:21:03
...another will start
a mile down the road.
1:21:05
We bite the bullet here
in Cambodia. There.
1:21:09
We bomb the hell
out of these people.
1:21:16
Tonight American
and South Vietnamese units...
1:21:19
...will attack the headquarters of the
entire Communist military operation...
1:21:23
...in South Vietnam.
1:21:25
This is not an invasion
of Cambodia.
1:21:28
We take this action not for the purpose
of expanding the war into Cambodia...
1:21:33
...but for the purpose
of ending the war in Vietnam.
1:21:39
All across the nation...
1:21:43
...major student protests against
the U.S. invasion of Cambodia...
1:21:45
...rocked college campuses.
1:21:48
At Jackson State, two Negro students
were killed and ten were wounded.
1:21:51
Unanimously united behind...
In the streets of New York City...
1:21:55
...student protesters were attacked
by construction workers...
1:21:57
...supporting President Nixon's policies.
