Bradley Seeks Peace Talks Aim in Korea War Policy
General Omar N. Bradley testified before senators that the United States seeks a free and united Korea but may accept a victory short of full expulsion of Communist forces. He described a strategy to inflict heavy losses on Chinese Reds to pressure negotiation, and said top advisers back fighting as currently conducted. Bradley cautioned the war could peter out without a formal truce, and argued a settlement short of complete victory would not be appeasement.
