I give him very low marks in this regard, as did my history teacher in college who directed my master's final project.  Not just because he took way too long, IMO, to get the U.S. out of the war, but because of his wanton disregard for Cambodia--beginning with the "secret bombing" of that country in 1969 (secret, of course, from the American people--the Cambodians sure as hell knew they were being bombed!) and continuing with the 1970 invasion, which helped to pave the way for Pol Pot.
