Its

In
Its

apparently
Is

The

In

Here
are
some
points
that
puzzle
Ameriians
and
probably
Vietnamese
too
Why
havent
the

done

Can
they
ever
do
better
Is
the

Just
going
to
go

Will
It
finally
give
up

pull

Or
will
it

told
Congress
the
situation
was
grave
The
next
day
he
said
I
am
encouraged
by
the
pro

of

last
two
weeks
And
last
week
Congress
re
released

leased
more
of
what
he
said
That
even
If
the
war
does
not
go
well
the
US
should
still
withdraw
most
American
troops
by
1965
He
said

neutral
neutralization
