Why did President Nixon authorize the bombing of Cambodia and Laos? Nixon wanted to provoke the North Vietnamese to move away from their defenses. The North Vietnamese were using these countries as supply lines. Cambodia and Laos were actively selling weapons to the North Vietnamese army. The military wanted to gain control over the countries' natural resources.

It was against the law and if he did it out in the open people would have protested that we weren't at war with Cambodia and Laos. The North Vietnamese were getting supplies from both of those countries so he thought if he bombed them he'd stop their supplies from coming in. 

The Correct Answer is

B. The North Vietnamese were using these countries as supply lines.
