JFK brought the world to the brink of nuclear holocaust by pursuing a
game of nuclear chicken that defines him as the riskiest president in
history.
Dean Acheson said JFK was "phenomenally lucky." We were too.
JFK forced the public confrontation for political reasons and
humiliated Kruschev, the man he had to deal with.
JFK backed down on inspection for compliance and lied to the public
about the resolution of the crisis, denying that we had agreed to
withdraw vital U.S.
installations from Turkey in exchange for the removal of Soviet
missiles from Cuba - a deal which was political poison.
On October 22, 1963, JFK wrote his staff in a hand-written note "Is
there a plan to brief and brainwash key press within 12 hours or so?"
By being
dishonest with the American people, JFK gave the Soviets, who had the
facts, the power to destroy his Presidency and thereby unduly
influence him.
Also the timing was dishonest, he had known about the missiles since
August 22 when informed by CIA Director McCone. He announced it on
October 22nd to influence Congressional elections in favor of
Democrats -
The classic "October surprise." There is evidence that the Russians
never removed their missiles, but at best the end result - status quo
ante minus US missiles in Turkey - was clearly worse for the US.
JFK's handling of the crisis to the point of our nuclear annihilation
was the most irresponsible act of any president in history. His body
was on speed and his mind was on sex at the height of the crises - he
asked McNamara about an attractive Pentagon secretary said , "I want
her name and number. We may avert war tonight."

So, Jer....
Are you saying that the "people" shot JFK, or that Oswald shot him
because he was a "whore mongerer" ?
And this stuff is why I suggest All of you watch the "Atomic Bomb Movie"
for that strange looking 20 seconds As CD has no Idea what he is talking
about!!!
