        what Tricky Dick approved before announcing invasion was impeachable offense. I've spoken to those who were there.

        As I recall we turned our backs on the Cambodian people and walked away. How many times have we done this? #Cambodia

        Was Nixon the first to use the phrase: "domino effect" about these SE Asian countries falling to communism?

        No - I think "domino effect" dates from the Eisenhower administration. We in Australia bought the delusion -"all the way with LBJ".
