I found this to be a fascinating read - but it's way too long to post here....

A Growing Body Of Evidence Suggests Watergate Was A Setup To Nail Nixon

Who Will Rid Me of This Troublesome Priest?
ascribed to Henry II

On June 17, 1972, a group of burglars, carrying electronic surveillance
equipment, was arrested inside the Democratic National
Committee offices at 2650 Virginia Avenue, NW, in Washington,
D.C., the Watergate building complex. The men were quickly identified as
having ties to the Nixon reelection campaign and to the White House.
Though at the time the incident got little attention, it would snowball into
one of the biggest crises in American political history, define Richard Nixon
forever, and drive him out of the White House.

Most historical accounts judge Nixon responsible in some way for the
Watergate burglary?or at least for an effort to cover it up. And many people
believe Nixon got what he deserved.

But like other epic events, Watergate turns out to be an entirely different
story than the one we thought we knew.

It is kinda interesting, but my patience ran out at about half way.
If there is not proof of all these connections , how to know ,how many are real?

Nixon got exactly what he deserved. Too bad he didn't take that damned Kissinger down with him.

If Nixon was a patsy for Watergate, how is it he got what he deserved?

I found this to be a fascinating read -

It was....I have read most of it thus far....I wouldn't doubt it was a set-up at all.

Nixon did a lot of good....ended war in Viet Nam, opened door to China,
ended the draft, responsible for the Environmental Protection Agency, ect.....

[Xavier_Onassis]

Nixon falsely claimed to have a secret plan" for "peace with honor". He kept on fighting the war until the day he resigned. The war did not end until Ford was president.

He would be a liberal by the standards of the current GOP. But Watergate was done to manipulate the election. Nixon was a traitor to the Constitution.

Kissinger continued to screw things up even after Nixon was evicted.
 Thanks to him, we got the Iran hostage crisis, and the Vietnam war was prolonged for several years more than it had to be.

.................., and the Vietnam war was prolonged for several years more than it had to be.

   Do you believe that he could have ordered the war over at any time?
   Next time you are in a duel to the death with hammers and knives, try calling it off without completion, a war is even moreso deep involvement, calling an end to it is only easy in the imagination.

 Thanks to him, we got the Iran hostage crisis,.....

I think you have an error in timeline there.

Unlike Democrat LBJ who had greatly increased US Troop levels in Viet Nam, after President Nixon took office he began to reduce US Troop levels in Vietnam. Every year of the Nixon Presidency US Troop levels in Viet Nam greatly declined. Nixon upheld his promise to "Bring the Troops Home".

On January 15 1973, President Nixon announced the suspension of offensive action against North Vietnam. The Paris Peace Accords on "Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Vietnam" were signed on January 27, 1973, officially ending direct U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. A cease-fire was declared across North and South Vietnam. U.S. POWs were released.

BTW....Secretary of State Henry Kissenger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in ending the war.

Kissinger was a vile example of a manipulator. His treachery was revealed when he talked Carter into keeping a full staff at the Iranian Embassy. The crisis meant that Iranian oil production was cut, then there was the Iran-Iraq War, whuich made for much higher profits for Exxon. Kissinger has always been a flunky for Rockefeller and Exxon.

Nixon lied about his secret plan: he had no plan.

The departure from Vietnam should have been completed by 1970. Thanks to Nixon, it took another six years.

Nixon should never have been elected to anything. As Kurt Vonnegut said, "The Founding Fathers never anticipated that the people would elect someone who hated them so much."

[Christians4LessGvt]

Nixon was a traitor to the Constitution.

As is Obama on many issues,
including his Justice Department about to be possibly be held "In Contempt".

No thanks to Democrat LBJ and his disgraceful escalation of a war he was in private
stating was not winnable. To continue to escalate and send tens of thousands of
more young US boys to die in something he personally believed was not winnable
has to go down as one of the most shameful deeds of any US President in history.

[Xavier_Onassis]

Since Nixon also knew the war was unwinnable, he was every bit as reprehensible.

There was NO REASON to prolong it for six more years.

[Christians4LessGvt]

Since Nixon also knew the war was unwinnable, he was every bit as reprehensible.

#1. Can you source Nixon saying it was un-winnable like we can Johnson who continued to send more and more troops.

#2. Nixon did not increase troops like LBJ, in fact he did just the opposite and brought the troops home just as he said he would.

Democrat Johnson is/was a disgrace with blood on his hands.

[Xavier_Onassis]

Everyone knew the Vietnam War was unwinnable unless nukes were used.

Johnson and Nixon were both equally guilty. There were the same number of casualties during both terms. JFK would probably have done the same as LBJ did. There was his "pay any price, bear any burden" bit in his Inaugural address. A truly stupid remark from anyone ruling a country with a scant 6% of the global population.

LBJ learned that the war was unwinnable after it had been going on for several years. Nixon surely knew it from the start. Both tried to keep this a secret from the people and the troops. It was a horrible mistake, but both men refused to accept  defeat. Of course, a defeat in Vietnam was pretty much meaningless to the US

The entire mess started with the Dulles Brothers, after WWII. They wanted to restore the French colonial system, in direct violation of the UN Charter.

[Christians4LessGvt]

Johnson and Nixon were both equally guilty.

You logic is insane. It was under Democrat LBJ that the U.S. escalated the conflict to a full scale war, it was under President Nixon that the US began reducing US troop involvement. Reality is what it is no matter how you try to rewrite history. Johnson increased US troops every year, Nixon reduced US troops every year. Nixon ended the war and Democrat Johnson expanded US troop involvement in the war. Johnson basically was scared shitless to run again exactly because what he did in Viet Nam, Nixon on the other hand was re-elected in part because the American People could see the progress he was making in ending JFK/LBJ's created full scale war in Viet Nam.
