Dưới đây là sơ lược bản tường trình của Kissinger trong chuyến đi Hà Nội ngày 10 tháng Hai năm 1973 gửi tới Nixon cho thấy ông ta đã biết trước những bước tiến kế tiếp của cộng sản giặc Hồ sau hiệp định hòa bình giả tạo Paris Peace Accords 1973 bằng hành động tiến chiếm nốt phần miền Nam còn lại.

Thế nhưng Hoa Kỳ chẳng luyến tiếc gì về miền Nam Việt-Nam nơi mà hơn 58 ngàn sinh mạng của người lính Hoa Kỳ đã nằm xuống, bỏ lại sau lưng những người bạn đồng minh đã một thời chiến đấu sống chết gắn bó với mình.

Tàn nhẩn hơn nửa, Kissinger còn chỉ rõ “pointed out to them” những đường đi nước bước kế tiếp cho cộng sản giặc Hồ tiến chiếm miền Nam, vùng đất mà Hoa Kỳ đã một thời bảo vệ như một thành trì chống cộng sản.

Những người dân hiền lành chơn chất miền Nam chỉ vì hai chử “TỰ DO” đã không ngại ngần sống chết cho một miền Nam không cộng sản đã tự bảo vệ mình chống lại làn sóng bạo tàn của cộng sản giặc Hồ đi xâm chiếm miền Nam theo lệnh của Nga, Tàu.          

… “Kissinger reported to the President:

“They [the North Vietnamese] have two basic choices which I frankly pointed out to them [on February 11]. They can use the Vietnam Agreement as an offensive weapon, nibbling at its edges, pressuring Saigon, confronting us with some hard choices. In this case they would carry out the release of our prisoners and wait till our withdrawals were completed before showing their real colors unambiguously; they would keep their forces in Laos and Cambodia through procrastination of negotiations or straight-forward violations; and launch a big new attack soon. They would calculate that we would not have the domestic base or will to respond.

Their other option is to basically honor the Agreement and seek their objectives through gradual evolution. They would welcome a more constructive relationship with us, seek our economic assistance and concentrate on reconstruction and building socialism in the north. Their Indochina allies would be told to pursue their objectives by political and psychological means. They would, in short, adhere to a more peaceful course and let the forces of history work their will, at least for a few years.

The North Vietnamese naturally proclaim the second option as their settled course, but this means nothing. I could not judge from my talks whether their enormous losses, isolation from their allies, and the prospect of [American] aid mean they are ready for a breather. For them the ideal course would be to follow both options at once: violating the Agreement to pursue their objectives and improving relations with us so as to get economic aid. Our essential task is to convince them that they must make a choice between the two. (Kissinger’s report quoted ibid., pp. 451–452)”

strategic hamlets, a South Vietnamese Government program to counter Viet Cong control in the countryside. The government relocated farmers into fortified hamlets to provide defense, economic aid, and political assistance to residents. The hope was that protection from Viet Cong raids and taxation would bind the rural populace to the government and gain their loyalty. The program started in 1962, but was fatally undermined by over expansion and poor execution. By 1964 it had clearly failed.
