There is no excuse for letting the invasion go forward without telling the Cubans that he decided to stop the use of American Air Power and Naval power to suppress Castro's forces.
Had they been informed, I do not doubt that they would have refused to go ahead with the invasion.
I have personally spoken to men who were in the Navy around Cuba at the time. They have told me how the men were crying on the radio for help, begging the Americans to come help them the way they had been promised we would, but they had orders from the President to do nothing.
They said it was terrible to listen to the Cubans begging, all the while knowing that our government had deliberately left them out there to twist in the wind.
It was just wrong what we did to those men. I say "we", I mean what Kennedy did to those men.

We came d@mn close to having a nuclear exchange with Russia. Were it not for a rational Soviet sub commander, there would have been launched a nuclear torpedo that would have guaranteed start a nuclear war with the USSR.
If Kennedy was playing politics with these events, he was even stupider than I thought he was.

How about a second look at his inveterate, depraved rutting while claiming to be a Christian?

Actually he promised NOT to provide air cover. The CIA thought they could force him to buy creating a mess on the ground. Then it would be a full on US invasion.
He didn’t let them bully him.

Ugly deeply slanted article!
Without Kennedy’s deep tax cuts, we never would have gotten out of the “Great Depression,” which was still lingering when he took office.
He paid with his life for resisting the NWO’s monetary manipulation.

Some folks think that if Kennedy were alive today he would be a Republican.

A fine piece of democrat-press mythology.
A myth that has grown over the years but one that the real man could never live up to.
A mediocre presidency at best.

I doubt he would be a republican. More likely an Clinton-Obama democrat.

True or not, the American people “believe” JFK was great, and nothing will change their collective minds. Not tapes or photos, really nothing can change their opinions.

Bay of Pigs, he left brave men to die, their families arrested. Then the death of MM, the BBC covered it pretty good.

Most of our leaders should be in prison, very few aren’t corrupt to the core.

The CIA -cynically- put them on the beach to die. They thought they could force JFK to involve US forces though he clearly told them he would not before it began. The CIA decided it set national policy.
They found out different.
Then they murdered him over it.

Kennedys biggest MISTAKE was picking LBJ. The country has never recovered from the presidency of LBJ.

Presidents in general do not control CIA ops.
Bay of Pigs was a loose cannon operation by CIA trying to save face, and they blew it.

What is there to look at. Joe Kennedy ( rum runner) connected to the mob. JFK and brothers connected to the mob.
Kennedy's taken out by the mob.

Any Freeper could produce a valid BC and surpass the good done by the Kenyan maggot.
