“Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union”

The commies weren’t Islamic suicidal maniacs like Ahmajinidad.

And then he said that Kennedy got Khrushchev to get the missiles out of Cuba by negotiation. Yea and the Strategic Air Command at Def Con 2.

Silly Obambi.

Well it depends on your definition of negotiation, if telling the Soviets to remove the missiles or get blown to he** is negotiating then I guess JFK negotiated. I call it an ultimatum. The idiots that follow Obama though will believe the lies he tells them. I hope McCain or Bush call him on this one.

*****************************************************
The real story is that idiot Kennedy for all intents and purposes invited the Soviets to build the missile base in Cuba by failing to back the “Bay of Pigs” invasion force ... they didn’t just think we were weak THEY KNEW IT! ... years later we found out that the price Kennedy paid to get the Soviets to back down was the closing of our forward nuke bases in Turkey... and to think some libs actually consider that maroon who fell asleep on watch and had his patrol boat run over by a Jap cruiser ,,, too bad the watch on that jap cruiser didn’t notice that crunching sound as they ran over him...

Here is what wikipedia says about that:

(The Cuban Missile crisis) “ended two weeks later on October 28, 1962, when President of the United States John F. Kennedy and United Nations Secretary-General U Thant reached an agreement with the Soviets to dismantle the missiles in Cuba in exchange for a no invasion agreement and a secret removal of the Jupiter and Thor missiles in Turkey.”

The point is negotiation was backed by US military force and the credible threat to use that force. Concessions were made on both sides, but the USSR lost the most.

We need to make sure everyone we know understands how incompetent Barry O. is, saying there are 57 states, calling Iran ‘tiny,’ and offering to negotiate without preconditions.

Isn’t treating with the enemy treason? The question of Iran isn’t really significant. I am sure we will be at war with them by Election Day.
