The only problem with that Bags is you've apparently left out most of what he allegedly said and what he was talking about in November 1968 after Nixon was elected.
Sorry to disappoint you.
"Nixon should be told that it is probably an objective of Clifford to depose Thieu (South Vietnamese president Nguyen Van Thieu) before Nixon is inaugurated. Word should be gotten to Nixon that if Thieu meets the same fate as Diem, the word will go out to the nations of the world that it may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.”
It wasn't a public statement either, just from notes William F. Buckley Jr. took in a 'phone call he'd had with Kissinger.

It's amazing how creative some people can be isn't it and puts a completely different light on it.
