Former Secretary of State John Kerry disclosed that he has been conducting rogue diplomacy with top Iranian officials to salvage the landmark nuclear deal and push the Islamic Republic to negotiate its contested missile program, according to recent remarks.
Kerry, in an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt to promote his new book, said that he has met with Iranian Former Minister Javad Zarif—the former secretary's onetime negotiating partner—three or four times in recent months behind the Trump administration's back. (Free Beacon)

What makes you think 28,000 of our servicepeople would be alive today but for Nixon's interference in the 1968 peace talks? Originally Posted by lustylad

But in 1973, Kissinger was given the Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating the same settlement he helped sabotage in 1968. (Commondreams)

But I do know your assumption that the war could or would have come to a screeching halt in 1968, allowing all 500,000+ US troops to pull out of Vietnam overnight with no further casualties, is utterly preposterous.
