People make broadbrush criticisms of JFK's command performance based on speculation and invention. I've read one account of the action in which he lost his boat by a fellow PT commander who as very critical of the higher commands and who defended JFK's tactics.

It was a night time engagement and some of the boats were equipped with radar and some were not. The people running the battle ordered the radar equipped boats out of the area soon after the engagement began, leaving only boats without radar. Even if the radar equipped boats had simply stayed and provided the other boats with situational updates, it would have been a huge benefit.

Kennedy has been critized for turning off one engine and idling the other low. He most probably did so because bioluminensce paints a huge “shoot me” arrow in the water, that Jap aviators knew how to read.

IF it happened to the illegal, it’d be the left that did it!!!

But he has a point. It would be a chance for the MSM to do what they do best -- cry us a river over The Martyred Obozo, and then use the diversion to sweep everything under the rug.

Moochelle would be the next Coretta Scott King, hectoring and lecturing us about how evil white people are (Coretta didn't do that, but you know Moochelle would), and Obozo's men of hench would go on to continue to cover for him while serving in later administrations and make sure nobody ever got to the bottom of anything -- like the Sherrod Ag Department scam, for instance. You'd never hear Shirley Sherrod's name again, they'd bury her so deep. (Maybe literally?)

Ben Bradlee was a Kennedy toady from the beginning and Newsweek’s Washington Bureau Chief. He became WaPo Managing Editor in 1965 and Exec Editor in 1968. His sister-in-law Mary Meyer was one of Kennedy’s concubines.

In that case, someone in Bradlee's family may know Mary Meyer's secrets. Still.

Summon the apothecary. Prepare the sound recording devices. This will mean getting someone very drunk and slipping them the sodium pentothal, to winkle out the dead woman's family secrets.

Sounds like another job for our intrepid conservative black-bag/impersonator penetration agents!
