American ambassador to Vietnam Ted Osius’s interview (Part 3)
American Ambassador to
Vietnam Ted Osius with a baby in Saigon, Vietnam
The authors would like to continue with other commentaries
which are related to American ambassador Ted Osius to Vietnam and Vietnamese
media in American embassy in Hanoi in the “20th Anniversary of
Normalizing Diplomatic Relations” between the U.S. and Vietnam. In this
important event, ambassador Osius stated: “It is realized that our direct and
sincere dialogues about the past issues then we can cooperate in the areas
which are not only important to you, our friends, but also crucial to the South
East Asia region” (sic). Osius is pretty
much a skillful diplomat because he initiated his welcoming term “our friends”
to mention about the Vietnamese communist government and the media.

mark the 40th anniversary of the takeover of Saigon on April, 30,
2015
To
this point, the authors remember Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung’s statement in
his speech to mark the 40th year of unification Vietnam (30/4/1975 –
30/4/2015). After brutally condemning Americans, Dung pointed to his brief
statement “We definitely carry out our policy to close down the past and look
forward to the future” (sic).
It
means ambassador Osius and Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung’s political
viewpoints are similar which aim to close the conflicting past between America
and Vietnam and have plans to work together in present and in future.
Their
viewpoints to close the past and cooperate in future will be likely disapproved
by the majority of suppressed Vietnamese people inside and outside Vietnam if
they have sufficient information to make sound assessments and determine their political
positions. Because there are common goals between ambassador Osius and
Vietnamese government but in fact when looking back to the past some historic facts
are identified:
America
intervened into Vietnam to fight the USSR and China and used the Vietnamese
communists as the justification and forcibly sent American troops into Vietnam.
There was no official agreement or accord when American troops entered Vietnam
in 1965. Therefore, the South Vietnamese government was put in a situation that
the American troops in Vietnam was considered as a “matter of facts”. Especially,
American forces were not authorized to win the war but used their limited
forces in some different forms in the “escalating Vietnam war” were the military
experiments and also provided good combat and military experience to the
communist allies and the communist troops who were equipped with modern rifles
and ammunitions which were superior to the troops of American and Vietnamese
allies. The Republic of Vietnam’s troops were forced to be in defensive mode
while the Communist forces were authorized to infiltrate deep into South
Vietnam to attack, destroy and terrorize military bases and also civilians
which caused heavy casualties to both free Vietnam’s forces and to the Innocent
civil people. It was definitely an unfair war game in which the free South
Vietnamese forces were tied down their fighting hands through limited and outdated
weapons and monetary assistance from the free allies while the Communist North
Vietnam forces were generously provided with abundant of economic and military
assistance from the whole Communist blocs.
South Vietnam’s forces were targets for international and American media
to investigate and untruthfully magnified stories while the communist spies who
disguised under their writers or reporters covers then their activities to help
the communist side were justified as activities of those who were authentic patriotic
to their fatherland Vietnam. For example, Australian news reporter Burchett or
French reporter Jean Claude label, nephew in-law of scholar communist-pro Hoang
Xuan Han. Jean usually went to the secret military sanctuaries of the Communist
forces in South Vietnam to meet with then General Secretary Nguyen Van Linh. On
April 30, 1975 after the communists took over Vietnam Linh gave Jean a big
mansion in Saigon, Phi Nana precinct.
Our
question to ambassador Osius: Was the strategically political goal of America
at that time in Vietnam War to force Southern forces to be defeated by the
communists and had South Vietnam to be dying gradually. After America achieved
their complete military withdrawal from Vietnam after signing the Paris Peace
Accord with North Vietnam in 1973 then the whole Southern armed forces and 50
million Vietnamese people were abandoned to fall into the international
communist’s control under the iron hands of USSR and China. And the Southern
Vietnamese military officers and civil services administrators were all imprisoned
in the so-called “Re-education Camps” which were the disguised forms of forced
labor without pay and sufficient food in year-round-fiercely-cold weather.
Because
the goal was to work for American ultimate interests therefore South Vietnam
armed forces were transformed into low-ranking soldiers to serve for American
international relations strategy. In additional to help the Communist forces to
be well trained to become great fighting forces. Then it might be the over half
of a million American GI troops and allies in Vietnam had another strategic
mission was to assist with Mao Tse Tung to implement his “Cultural Revolution”
in China. The real goal of both America and China at that time might be to
destroy the Communist Party of China at that time and replaced it with a new
generation of Chinese people to be work hand in hand with the “Red Guards” with
ultimate objective was to purge all leading Chinese officials who heavily
supported Russia.
It
was the concrete assistance offered by America to China via American “Ping Pong
Diplomacy” therefore there was a historic meeting between US President Richard
Nixon and President Mao Tse Tung and Zhou Enlai. Then the Paris Peace Accord
concerning Vietnam was given birth. America happily returned to the U.S. soil
and abandoned its victim who used to be its close ally whom America swore in
its loyalty and sincerity to defend Vietnam, the free world’s frontier. Those suffering people have been Vietnamese
military officers and civilian managers who used to work closely with American,
especially South Vietnamese wounded and decapitated troops.
Another
example to prove the U.S. pre-determined the political fate for South Vietnam
be bloody and tear by using CIA agent colonel Lucien Conein to use $US 40,000
to buy the Vietnamese betraying generals and colonels to overthrow President
Ngo Dinh Diem’s constitutionally elected government on November 1, 1963. These
Vietnamese generals who ran the Coup d’Etat were truly national traitors (spies
for American government under President John F. Kennedy and ambassador to
Vietnam Henry Cabot Lodge), with effective assistance of An Quang militant
group with one of the top leaders was Thich Quang Do. Do was recently nominated
for the World Nobel Prize. In addition to these above figures were leftist M.D.
student Nguyen Dan Que. Que’s brother Nguyen Quoc Quan, currently living in
Virginia, USA has been also entrusted by America.
Those above groups have been assisted
by the moles who had been implanted in South Vietnam after Geneva Accord of
1954 which divided Vietnam into two parts, North and South, the military
demarcation line was at 17th parallel. This fact was mentioned in
some work of the authors about those spying groups who have worked hand in hand
with leftist forces.
After the first Republic of Vietnam under President
Ngo Dinh Diem was overthrown, the subsequent Southern Vietnamese governments
only lasted for a short period of time. The turn overs between governments was
high. These military led governments worked under the White House’s direction
to serve American interests. This sad political situation was predicted by
Political Counselor Ngo Dinh Nhu, President Ngo Dinh Diem’s brother. Therefore
during 9 years of governing South Vietnam, Diem did not approve the military,
especially US troop direct intervention in Vietnam. Diem only requested
military and economic assistance, personnel, military trainings and US advisors…In
his well-known book “Main Political Issues of Vietnam”, Political counselor Ngo
Dinh Nhu predicted very much precisely that “if the First Republic of Vietnam
collapses then shortly after South Vietnam will fall to Northern Vietnamese
communists and then shortly the whole Vietnam will fall into Red China’s
control…”
“The
main political issues of Vietnam” (Author: Vietnamese Political Counselor Ngo
Dinh Nhu)
To
serve America’s international police role, more than 58 thousands American GIs
have sacrificed. It is regretting that many Vietnamese citizens who fully
entrusted into American promises to defend South Vietnam so they expressed
their profound appreciation to America as the most sincere and loyal ally of
South Vietnam. However, if we think deeply then that expression of appreciation
should be questionable if American help is worthwhile compared to other heavy casualties
and damages to Vietnam and its citizens for many generations after the whole
Vietnam fell under the communists’ hands.
The
appreciation to American involvement in Vietnam during the Vietnam War is not
quite amusing because the big sacrifice of 58 thousand American GIs and tons of
money poured into Vietnam battle fields have not resolved any big issues for
the fatherland and the People of Vietnam. Now, the American troops fought in
Vietnam was truly one of the strong reasons for the communist leadership to
instigate the Vietnamese “patriots” to join the communist group to fight
against South Vietnam, America and their allies. Those “patriots” had been
misinformed and misled in the war by both America, Russia and China.
The
psychological war information was also seriously misled with the assistance of
the communists in Eastern Europe, the leftist groups in Western Europe such as
France and England.
Therefore, during Vietnam War, Vietnam
was transformed into the battle field between the international powers to fight
for their own selfish interests. That was the US dollars which were dying by
the blood of innocent Vietnamese citizens in Vietnam. The longer the political
and military bargain in Vietnam War had been then blood of Vietnamese people
would have been shed heavily in accordance with the negotiation time and
Vietnam fatherland would have been destructed in similar velocity.
If
it is the matter of “sincerity to the past issues between America and Vietnam” (sic)
then Mr. Ambassador, these are the truths which are not fabricated by the
authors of this book, but this awful truths have been recognized by American
top diplomats. That are the dirty political coup in Vietnam on November 1st,
1963 in which American government under President John F. Kennedy / ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge who accomplished with An Quango militant group (Unified
Buddhist Church of Vietnam to overthrow and inhumanly kill President Ngo Dinah
Diem and his brothers Ngo Dinah NH, Ngo Dinah Can and their assistants.
Recently
America honored the armed forces of the Republic of Vietnam and a number of
generals who killed himself on April 30, 1975 when Saigon fell down into the
Communists’ hands. Among these were super brave and dedicated colonels Ho Ngoc
Can, Police Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Van Long, Navy major Nguy Van Tha scarified
themselves with his subordinates in defending duty of Hoang Sa islands. His
name has just been named for a major avenue in Houston, Texas (http://www.vietcatholic.net/News/Html/139990.htm).
The
naming of those military heroes are quite historically justified. Also, please
do not forget that the sacrifice of those general of the armed forces of
Republic of Vietnam on April 30, 1975 should be included those of the other
officers, non-commissioned officers, soldiers, police, military police and
other civilians who are under the suppression of the communist government in
North Vietnam who did kill themselves because their last hope for the rescue by
South Vietnam evaporated. All these people who committed suicide because they
have been well educated with the guidelines of President Ngo Dinah Diem:
Fatherland, Honor and Responsibility by which President Diem and his assistants
carried out since 1954 after Diem took charge of South Vietnam.
President Ngo Dinh Diem met the Budhhist
monks in the Independence Palace in Saigon
President Ngo Dinh
Diem and Political Counselor Ngo Dinh Nhu’s family
Therefore, the most serious omission is
that the American government has not publicly expressed remorse concerning the
intervention and responsibility of previous American administrations who had
intervene deeply into internal politics of the Republic of Vietnam for decades
and their final responsibilities about the deaths of the 3 Ngo’s brothers.
Indeed, it is our wish that American government needs to publicly express
sorrow and somewhat bear the responsibilities in whole or in part about the
horrific deaths of the Ngo’s brothers. By that, the Communist Party of Vietnam
(CPV) and the Vietnamese refugee’s community can reflect themselves on the
example of self-sacrifice, dedication, patriotism of President Ngo Dinah Diem
to Vietnam fatherland and to his Vietnamese People. President Ngo Dinah Diem’s
memorial statute should be erected as soon as possible, side by side with the
statute of the deceased soldiers and civil managers to set a guiding torch to
lead the way for the patriotic of Vietnam who can follow President Ngo’s outstanding,
patriotic leadership.
