As suggested by Kissenger, Nixon ordered that the attacks occur in secret, and all attempts to expose the bombing should be stopped. General Wheeler informed his staff: "In the event press inquiries are received following the execution of the Breakfast Plan as to whether or not US B-52s have struck in Cambodia, US spokesman will confirm that B-52s did strike on routine missions adjacent to the Cambodian border but state that he has no details and will look into the question." (Shawcross, p22) In 1969, President Richard Nixon and his National Security Advisor, Henry A. Kissinger, unleashed B-52 carpet bombing for over fourteen months against a people who still tilled the soil with water buffalo. The 3,500 bombing sorties resulted in 600,000 deaths. The American bombing of Cambodia was a closely guarded secret primarily because the U.S. was not at war with Cambodia. "Why should we flagellate ourselves for what the Cambodians did to each other?" said -- Henry Kissinger The US sellout of the KHMER PEOPLE IN CAMBODIA in 1975, THROUGH HENRY KISSINGER. WHAT DID HENRY KISSINGER DO THE KHMER PEOPLE IN CAMBODIA ? HIS AMBASSADOR MR. JOHN GUNTHER DEAN, LEFT THE COUNTRY , FROM THE ROOF TOP OF THE US EMBASSY BUILDING , TO CATCH AN HELICOPTER , LIKE A THIEF , IN APRIL 1975. WHAT DID HE SAY ? 3. WHO IS THIS MAN ? Kissinger, in His Own Words "Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy." - Henry Kissinger, quoted in "Kiss the Boys Goodbye: How the United States Betrayed Its Own POW's in Vietnam" Henry Alfred Kissinger recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, so was his Vietnamese communist friend . LE DUC THO recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. THAT Nobel Peace Prize WAS AWARDED TO THEM FOR 1. THE ABANDONMENT, OF THE US ALLIED ,THE SOUTH VIETNAM ANTI COMMUNIST REGIME AND THE MURDER OF THE NGO DIHN DIEM FAMILIES. 2. THE US INVASION OF CAMBODIA, A NEUTRAL COUNTRY, A UN MEMBER COUNTRY, AN ALLIED OF THE US GOVERNMENT. 3. THE ABANDONMENT OF CAMBODIA TO THE COMMUNIST IN 1975. 4. THE KILLING OF OVER 600,000 CAMBODIAN INNOCENTS ( The 3,500 bombing sorties resulted in 600,000 deaths. The American bombing of Cambodia was a closely guarded secret primarily because the U.S. was not at war with Cambodia.) p140 FOR CAMBODIA Strong Resolution on Cambodia Human Rights Abuses Feb. 27, 1982 : UN Commission on Human Rights meeting in Geneva adopted a resolution condemning Vietnam’s occupation of Cambodia as a violation of Cambodian human rights. The vote was 28 in favor, 8 against, and 5 abstentions. Oct. 21, 1986 The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution A/RES/41/6, by vote of 116-21 with 13 abstentions, calling for a withdrawal of Vietnamese forces from Cambodia. 10 UN RESOLUTIONS,(1979-1988) VOTED BY 116 UN MEMBER COUNTRIES ,CALL VIETNAM TO CEASE HER OCCUPATION OF CAMBODIA & REMOVE ALL HER TROOPS FROM THE COUNTRY, ARE NOT RESPECTED AS OF TODAY. President Reagan's address to the 43d Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, New York,September 26, 1988. "Mr. Secretary-General, there are new hopes for Cambodia, a nation whose freedom and independence we seek just as avidly as we sought the freedom and independence of Afghanistan. We urge the rapid removal of all Vietnamese troops ...." As of today,Cambodia is still occupied by the Vietnamese troops : 1. despite the call from the US President Reagan to Vietnam to cease her occupation of Cambodia since 1988. 2. because America, under President Clinton,( Anti Khmer race ,like Henry Kissinger and his policy of bombing and invasion of Cambodia in 1970's) by 1995 and his group had reversed the Reagan adminstration 's compliance with the 10 UN resolutions. CAMBODIA today remains OCCUPIED BY VIETNAM 1979-2010. why ? Because of this act . AMERICA COLLABORATION WITH VIETNAM COMMUNISM WHILE VIETNAM CONTINUES HER OCCUPATION OF CAMBODIA. WITH PRESIDENT CLINTON : US FOREIGN POLICY IS PARTNERSHIP WITH THE VIETNAMESE COMMUNISTS , AND THE VIETNAMESE OCCUPATION OF CAMBODIA . PRESIDENT CLINTON JUST FORGETS THE 10 YEARS EFFORTS FROM THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION BY IGNORING THE 10 UN RESOLUTIONS CALLING VIETNAM TO QUIT CAMBODIA. CLINTON CAMPAIGNS FOR CLINTON SUPPORTERS Did anybody from the US foreign policy makers team listen to his ? WALL STREET-President Bill Clinton COLLABORATION WITH THE VIETNAMESE OCCUPATION OF CAMBODIA IN VIOLATION OF 10 UN RESOLUTIONS( CALLING VIETNAM TO QUIT CAMBODIA ) President Bill Clinton announced the formal normalization of diplomatic relations with Vietnam on July 11, 1995. Subsequent to President Clinton's normalization announcement, in August 1995, both nations upgraded their Liaison Offices opened during January 1995 to embassy status. As diplomatic ties between the nations grew. While Vietnam continues to occupy Cambodia as of today IN VIOLATION OF these 10 UN resolutions, THE CLINTONS ARE BECOMING THE PARTNERS ,collaborators with THE VIETNAMESE FORCES OF AGGRESSION OF CAMBODIA, AND ARE BECOMING BY NOW THE ANTI KHMER PEOPLE, BY THESE ACTS 3. revealing that AMERICAN GOVERNMENT has no CONSISTENT FOREIGN POLICY, TOWARD ANY COUNTRY AROUND THE WORD. 4. AMERICAN GOVERNMENT IS becoming BY THIS ACT , a partner with the Vietnamese forces of aggression and occupation of Cambodia since 1979-2010 in violation of the UN charter . THIS INCONSISTENT US FOREIGN POLICIES, FROM PRESIDENT REAGAN TO PRESIDENT CLINTON TOWARD CAMBODIA, AND THE KHMER RACE, CONFIRMS,IN DEED, THAT THE US STATE DEPARTMENT IS FULL OF NON CAREER DIPLOMATS, IMMATURE IN WORLD DIPLOMACY. IT'S SO SAD INDEED FOR A GREAT COUNTRY TO BEHAVE IN THIS MANNER TOWARD THE POOR KHMER RACE . Cambodia needs Independence from Vietnam and the Vietnamese invaders. Vietnam must cease her occupation of Cambodia at once. THE MOMENT , AMERICA , STOPS COLLABORATING WITH THE CAMBODIAN ENEMIES(THE VIETNAMESE OCCUPIERS) ALL KHMER COULD FIND INSTANTLY PEACE & JUSTICE.
