1961 * Armed Cuban exiles backed by the CIA invaded Cuba, landing in
the Bay of Pigs, with the aim of overthrowing the Cuban government under Fidel Castro. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_of_Pigs_Invasion President Kennedy's decision not to provide naval and air support to the rebels is seen by most analysts as the reason why the invasion failed. |

And the reason behind that was a constricted view of the problem. Kennedy and his inner circle excluded information that should have told them that the Cubans were not going to rise up against Castro when the invaders landed, that his army was loyal and competent, and that his air force was likewise. They expected the Cubans to rise up against Castro and the army to turn on their ruler. They thought the Cuban Air Force was incompetent. They were wrong on all counts leading to perhaps the greatest fiasco in U.S. foreign relations history. Groupthink played a big part in that terrible decision (cf. Irving Janis, "Victims of Groupthink," Chapter 2). Fortunately the Kennedy administration learned from that and did much better during the Cuban missile crisis. Sadly, I don't see any similar learning happening in the current administration. |

He wasn't very adept at the power player thing. You don't want the mob and the company mad at you at the same time. Did you work near the Grassy Knoll at one time ? |

Kennedy was going to take away their right to make/print money and restore it to the Govt. The amount of profits at stake would have been immeasurable. I have a sincere belief that it was the Reserve that had him killed. mike -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNrbQrAAoJEJXfKw5kUPt7esAIAIvMMoINjs YbgYc9OMo19o/p U6GG2JTliwbUCiQVUVSkyXKUEgX9Du1UwPeQimZk7zUfhyNfsy W+vqCK/Dvj01O+ AviQYfYXmAP9ewp4Ttm+cBr8aOKZc4fugTtZFnAqFnybu9Wk7C Rpvo0aa0kRvSrh 6qikS0xK5gwVkrAKnbAsxbblEmygqlsKwlaLQRlsddwrgLcsSc BhMv7Iiuoh6yOJ 5Qcw7NTfjDX/pCcW4y+EPEF/AO5FVCdwSjOI4QS/mT3LOHVQALP4mEJ6rhtnGbg/ O4csIdoJk9z+TYTEdqQemjgi376s8N3FGKYayKKfjSCW7z9vax r2BcJcgEN81/c= =nBoF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |
