Nixon expands war on the Cambodia border drives new offensive
President Nixon announced a surprise joint U S and South Vietnamese offensive into Cambodian sanctuaries along the Cambodian Vietnam border to save American lives and accelerate Vietnam troop withdrawals. He warned allies and foes alike about risks while insisting actions are not aimed at any nation's security interests. The plan involves air support and roughly 100 U S advisers as forces move into the Parrot's Beak area, about 35 miles from Saigon, marking a major widening of the war.
