" Our Position has not changed at all"
The white house had announced that there had been no change in the policy. The escalation of troops kept on proceeding without an end. The attack on the American ship led to more American involment. The qoute on the picture describes the fact that there has not been any changes in taking troops out of the war, instead the increase of american troops kept on going up instead of decreasing. The taller guy is president Johnson and him being taller symbolizes that he is the one in power. He kept on saying on how he wanted to pull troops out. Most Americans wanted to withdraw from the war, but once again as said before it just keeps rising.
"Still Deeper involvement in Asia"
The cartoon displays a water current that spirals into a hole that gets deeper and deeper at each layer. It is showing how America has been getting more involved in the war rather than getting out of the war. America needs to get "shallow" not "deep". In the picture is shows layers, the closer to the hole the more involvement America has come to with Asia. The boat wants to get out and away from the hole, but it just keeps on getting pulled in deeper and deeper. The US hoped to come to a conclusion with the war. Some how instead of coming to and end it would just continue and continue with many soldiers dead. Ending the war did not seem like an option anymore.

"I am not a crook"
The political cartoon demonstrates nixon and his tapes. Nixon's conversations were taped and he did not want the public to know about it, thus he hid the tapes. He is pulling the tapes in the picture and ripping them out to ruin them because he does not want the public. It says "I am Not a Crook" but in reality he was defiantly a crook. He tried his best to hide the tapes, which was known as the Watergate Scandal. Nixon refused to show the tapes until the supreme court demanded to make him show them. Nixon was a crook who keep things hidden from the public.
