What was the result of Nixon's strategy to bomb North Vietnamese sanctuaries in Cambodia?

That was called "Nixon's secret bombings" or "the secret bombing campaigns", or "the secret Cambodian bombings"; either way you weren't supposed to know about it!


What are the effects of the bombings in Cambodia?

In the late 1960's, the United States' involvement in Vietnam was causing major problems in the United States. Nixon stated that soon, "new leadership will end the war and win the peace in the Pacific." However, he was not extremely specific on how exactly he would go about ending the war in Vietnam. In the United States, little was known about the bombings of Cambodia. Aside from the leaders of our country, not many people had heard about the thousands of Cambodians that were dying each and every day. However, the hardest task was keeping the secret. Various leaks in newspapers and magazines sparked debate across the country, and were a cause for concern for President Richard Nixon. The bombings in Cambodia soon led to the Cambodian Civil War. So many death and a civil war would be the mayor effect on the American insolvent.

What was one of the first major so called leaks during President Nixon's administration?

Clearly the most important leak and the first one of such importance was published in the New York Times. This involved the secret US bombing raids over Cambodia during the Vietnam War. President Nixon was unhappy about the leak but certainly could not have been surprised. That's because the bombings were no secret to Cambodia, North Vietnam, the USSR and China.What can be questioned regarding this was that the latter parties did not make these bombings a public protest in the UN or simply as "news" from the controlled media of these nations.

What newspaper revealed the bombings in Cambodia?

Information was most likely "shotgunned" out to several papers. Reporters, like military commanders don't like to "put all their eggs in one basket." It was suspected for years that Laos/Cambodia were being bombed and those nations were easily traversed through enough times for practically anyone to leak info out from.
