Nixon's speech sought to reassure the U.S. at a time when polls show that domestic discontent over the war is rising anew. It was full of highly hopeful statements: "Pacification is succeeding"; "The South Vietnamese can develop the capability for their own defense"; "We finally have in sight the just peace we are seeking."
