Ex-official admits Vietnam was wrong
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — As defense secretary for two presidents — one of John F. Kennedy's "best and brightest" — Robert McNamara helped draw the United States deeply into the Vietnam War.
Now he admits: "We were terribly wrong."
With the upcoming release of his memoirs, McNamara is breaking his quarter-century public silence on the war that left 58,000 Americans dead and bitterly divided the country — a conflict, he notes ruefully, that some called "McNamara's War."
The memoirs of other officials, along with declassified documents and other reports, have described how dissension grew in the Johnson White House about Vietnam policy as the war worsened.
McNamara, whose internal criticism led Johnson to replace him in 1968, is the highest-ranking former U.S. official to say publicly and unequivocally that pursuing the war was a mistake.
"We of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations acted according to what we thought were the principles and traditions of our country. But we were wrong. We were terribly wrong," the 78-year-old McNamara told the AP Radio Network's "Newsweek on Air" program.
"We were just wrong, both military leaders and civilian leaders, in failing to recognize the nature of the conflict and failing to recognize early on that the strategy we were following would not accomplish our objective," McNamara said.
McNamara's book, "In Retrosc
McTreaty and Lessons of
Vietnam
(Times Books),
is due out this
week. The April
17 Newsweek,
on newstands
today, has
excerpts.
McNamara wrote that he and other Kennedy aides knew little a bo u t Indochina when they first began developing policy toward the region. He now finds it incredible that they failed to consider the political, military, financial and human costs of deepening U.S. involvement.
nuclear strikes) occur to them.'
In the AP interview, broadcasted yesterday, McNamara said, "The first major mistake we made was in exaggerating and misjudging the security of the West and the security of our nation (in case of) the loss of Vietnam to the Communists."
"Unfortunately, through, I think, clumsiness on our part, the effort came apart," he said.
McNamara said that North Vietnam had made a very specific peace offer in 1966 but had withdrawn it after the United States went ahead with bombing raids that had been delayed by bad weather. Johnson feared that rescheduling the raids "would be interpreted as weakness," McNamara wrote.
He denied that he and Johnson prevented the military from fighting the war with all its resources. He noted that the United States dropped far more bombs on Indochina than it did in all theaters of World War II.
McNamara told the AP that he and Henry Kissinger, then a Harvard professor, had come close to setting up U.S.-North Vietnamese negotiations in the fall of 1967.
McNamara said he had become deeply involved in Vietnam policy soon after he became defense secretary in 1961 and was one of the White House aides whom Kennedy called the best and the brightest of their generation.
He said President Johnson sought advice from former President Eisenhower on bombing Vietnam. In a Feb. 17, 1965, meeting, Eisenhower counsel that LBJ's first duty was to contain communism in Southeast Asia, even if it meant threatening nuclear war.
In 1967, McNamara privately urged Johnson to seek a diplomatic solution to the Vietnam War, but Johnson and other aides rejected the suggestion.
In early 1968, McNamara stepped
"We of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations acted according to what we thought were the principles and traditions of our country. But we were wrong."
Eisenhower said he hoped a huge ground war wouldn't be necessary but if it were, so be it. And if the Soviets or Chinese threatened to intervene, Eisenhower said, "We should pass the word back to them to take care lest dire results (i.e.

McNamara wrote that he still didn't know whether he quit or was fired, but he denied reports that he was nearing physical and emotional collapse. He told the AP that he didn't publicly criticize the war while still
defense secretary because the would have been totally contrary to his responsibilities to the president under the Constitution. And, he said, he wasn't permitted to discuss national politics during his 13 years as World Bank president.
McNamara wrote that he was admitting blame publicly now because had blown sick at heart witnessing the cynicism and even contempt with which so many people view political institutions and leaders. He blamed that cynicism on Vietnam, Watergate and other scandals.
New Jersey man charged in bizarre triple-murder case
The Associated Press
MOUNT HOLLY, N.J. — Days after he was bailed out of jail on harassment charges brought by his girlfriend, a man apparently killed her, his mother and his best friend, police said Saturday.
Hugh D. Miller, 30, will be charged with three counts of murder, said Burlington County Prosecutor Stephen J. Raymond.
The victims were found at three different places between midnight and 11 a.m. Saturday, Raymond said. Miller's mother, Charlotte Simcox, 52, was at her home. His girlfriend, Corrine Cochran-Ball, 23, was at Miller's house on his bed. His friend, Keith S. Tiesman, 25, was in his apartment.
Police were not specific about how Simcox and Cochran-Ball died. Tiesman died of a single gunshot wound to the head, Raymond said.
“There's some indication there may have been some jealousy with respect to Corrine Cochran-Ball and her relationship with another individual,” Raymond said. He declined to name the person but said it wasn't Tiesman. No motive was given for the other killings.
Miller was arrested Tuesday after Cochran-Ball filed a harassment and disorderly conduct complaint against him Monday night saying she and a male friend were in her car
Cochran-Ball, who had lived with Miller until Monday, moved out and went to stay with her father. She feared for her safety and had signed stalking complaints against him in the past, the complaint said.
when Miller drove up, shined his high beams on the pair and screamed at them.
Raymond said Cochran-Ball left her job at an insurance agency Friday afternoon to get her mail from Miller's apartment. Miller was seen in Cochran-Ball's car later that afternoon. Raymond said.
Cochran-Ball's father reported her missing when she didn't arrive home from work. He paged Miller, who does maintenance work for a condominium complex, but got no response.
Miller's stepmother, Virginia Miller, paid $500 to bail him out of jail later Tuesday.
When he went inside Saturday morning, Miller told the woman that he had broken up with Cochran-Ball, Raymond said. Police later arrested him when he answered the door.
Miller went to another girlfriend's house about 25 miles away in a neighboring county about 12:15 a.m. Raymond said, staying outside all night.
"Miller would always immediately return his page." Raymond said.
Miller is scheduled to appear in court Monday.
