He was basically in charge of the Cambodian bombing campaign, calling out which targets were to be bombed without much of any intelligence indicating that it was a valid military target.

Also, he was closely tied to the Johnson administration and suddenly he was offered a position in the Nixon administration. While not proven there are a lot of suspicious indicators that he may have intentionally botched the peace negotiations in Vietnam in an effort to give Johnson poor standing before the election so that Nixon could be the one ending the war. In other words; If true he intentionally pr longed the war in return for a position in the Nixon cabinet.
