We've got a lot to be thankful for.
Because whether you realise it or not,Dick Nixon would have gotten us into a nuclear war with russia and we would not be here today if he had won.
I hear people say they dont think JFK was that great a president because he alsomt got us into a nuclear war with Russia. Thats true but he also got us out of it and we escaped it because of him.
Thank god we had the disasterous bay of pigs invasion happen because Kenendy learned from that mistake not to listen to the military anymore.
They lied to him about everything they needed to make the invasion into Cuba a succesful invasion.He inherited the bay of pigs invasion from Eisenhower.The plan they presented and was drawn up and presented to Eisenhower was VASTLY different than the one they presented to Kennedy.
Kennedy was told from the very beginning by the CIA that air support was not needed for the invasion to be successful.
During the invasion when it was obviously a disater,Kennedy approached them and said-Hey guys,I know you lied to me about the invasion plans.Tell me the truth this time,do you need air support? they agin lied to him and thats when he made the fatal mistake of saying he would splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the four winds.
After that experience,he got wise and stopped listening to what the military told him to do and when the next crisis,the cuban missile crisis came,this time he wisely did not listen to them and follow the joint chief of staffs recommendations for an all out bombing and invasion of cuba.
He wisely listentend to the advise of his aides and leaned heavily on Bobby for advise during the crisis.He negoaited with Kruschev not to invade cuba as long as they withdrew their missiles.Kruschev agreed and they turned back away from cuba.
He got us out of it because he wisely listented to the advise of his aides and Bobby instead of the military whos recommendations were to go and bomb them.
Had DICK Nixon won the elction back then and had become president,you can put it in the bank he would have followed the advise of the military and done what they wanted Kennedy to do that he resisted and he WOULD have bombed them.
We know that to be true because in later years he said that had he been president at that time,he would have gone in and bombed them and that would have started world war three.Knowing how extremely immature Nixon was back than at that time,it would be foolhardy not to beliebe he would have done just that.In later years r after 68 became more mature and more wise about things,but at that time,he was the most immature idiot there ever was and you can take it to the bank he was not joking when he said he would have gone in and bombed them.
You also got to remember he was always trying to talk Ike into nuking vietnam which Ike being wise as he was,knew better and wisely ignored and did not listen to him.
9/11 Many thanks for your interesting post,not being American.............I find it somewhat impossible to think but for a SWEATY TV interview Nixon could have become President at that Crucial moment in American and World for that matter History.
It is this type of Gun-Ho attitude of Nixon and some of the Military,you clearly elucidated..... that other people in the world find disturbing moreover have distrust of America and it's thought process and decision making.
Nixon was an earlier exponent..but bigger idiots followed,the two Bushes and their Possies' mainly........Unfounded WARS on a foundation of BULLSHIT.......like the disaster in Vietnam....You bombed and blasted as much as you could but STILL FAILED COMPLETELY.
The world then mock you unfortunately as you are Great People and a Great Nation but you are let down(and YES let yourselves down) by believing the lies and Bullshit told you.
These "Leaders" seem always to be Conservative Right Wing Republicans,who some how think incrediblythat GOD is on their side,as they are about to decend a rein of terror on the innocent.But MORE IMPORTANTLY THEY FAIL,FAIL,FAIL.
We in Australia regard ourselves as a Ally of America on the whole....but insist we never fight near them in combat for obvious reasons friendly fire being but one,Australia since WW1 have always had their own CIC.
9/11 Thanks for your insightful observations on a period of American History that needed a steady hand....Whatever people think,President Kennedy was the right man for the job,and how well he did..Just a shame someone/s wanted to blow his head to peices....makes later Presidents look like the BUMBLING FOOLS THEY ARE but that's just my opinion of course.
9/11 Keep up the good work,I notice one poster critisized sic.your spelling and grammar,don't let anyone put you down,it's the content and context of your post that COUNTS.
Anyhow my Grammar and spelling ain't that hot but who wants to FCUKING spell check all the time.....9/11 take care..and you are right "Thank God we got JFK".steve
Wrongo, mate...we (military advisors) were already there before JFK took office.
The first COMBAT TROOPS entered Vietnam in 1965.
Kennedy, obviously, had nothing to do with that.
thats what i said earlier.some people just arent aware of the facts that Johnson was the one who got the war started sending in combat troops.
The advisors like you said,we ALREADY there before Jfk took office.The only thing kennedy ever increased under Eisenhower was the advisors.He never sent in combat troops.Lbj did.
There were only 82 casultys in sept 1963.thats a far cry from the 58,000 plus that happened under Johnson and Nixons watch.![]()
What I would like to know whilst we are on the subject of Government and lies....is why Americans have not been given the truth about 9/11,not just Americans but the rest of us too.
If your government think that we couldn't work out that an aircraft going off its flight path would not be picked up within seconds......then they are treating the World like Court Jesters,regrettably they have treated Americans like Village Idiots.
Of course they knew moreover the passengers would have contacted family on their mobile(cell phones),etc,.
After 9/11 many of your freedoms were curtailed or removed..!!!!!!!!!!!!WHY.
9/11 keep the pressure on......I'm enjoying your input on this interesting thread and plebs and hangovers....steve

great stuff there.stands up and gives standing ovation.
I hope you posted that over on the Reagan thread as well? thats where it really needs to be posted. The only thing that needs to be corrected about the post is it should say REPUBLICRATS.Its a ONE PARTY SYSTEM designed to look like two parties so the sheople think they have a choice in who gets elected. Thats why when Obama got elected,he is seen in his inagural address speech giving Bush a hug. they are suppose to be two different parties with different ideads yet Obama has contiuned all of Bushs policys?
He shouldnt have gone anywhere near Bush and if he had any humanity,he would ahev given him the middle finger and prosecuted him for his crimes.Instead he is continuing Bushs crimes he started.

I don't know where you get your information on Kennedy and the advice he got from the CIA, but only a fool would not realize that NOT having air superiority in any battle means eventual defeat. The invading force at the bay of pigs were CUBANS and the small contingent of B-25's that were supposed to bomb Castro's aircraft were WWII vintage and I believe they had Venezuela markings in case one of them crashed. Without air superiority the Cuban AF sunk the main supply ship and slaughtered the invaders on the beach. I call that criminal and Kennedy, a WWII veteran, should have been held responsible for the death of thousands of Cuban-Americans. I do not believe for one second that the USSR would have attacked the US over the loss of Cuba.
Kennedy increased the number of US military 'advisors' in Vietnam from around 400 to 16,000 during his three years as President. Lyndon Johnson increased it too as many as 550,000 combat troops in country at one time. Nixon ended the war, albeit several years later than he should have.
I would say Kennedy and Johnson were the BUMBLING FOOLS for engaging the US in an unwinnable war in southeast Asia. But that's just my opinion.
Sorry I disagree completely..but that is my opinion only.So Bush wasn't a BUMBLING FOOL then,sorry I disagree completely and that's the opinion agreed by most people....but there you go.steve

Most people can't possible think that the retaliation on Afghanistan for their part in 911 and the invasion of Iraq for many valid reasons make Bush a fool. Increasing the number of so-called military advisers by Kennedy from 400 to 16,000 is, if nothing else, a gross provocation.
Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one and we will agree to disagree. Perhaps you should put me on ignore like the other pissant did.
Amazing display of grammatical, as well as historical, ignorance. The "Cuban Missile Crisis" was nothing more than a political Kabuki Dance which gave Khrushchev just what HE wanted (the removal of OUR missiles from Turkey) while allowing JFK to pretend he was a tough guy. NK played JFK just the way Putin is playing Obama on Syria (i.e., guaranteeing the current regime).

Krushchev was removed from power in 1964. hardly a win.

Well I wouldn't put it like that personally but you are real suckers for US Government Bullshit,starting with a Bullshit premise to start with,you still continue to munch the stuff,have you not an open mind or do you really believe what you spew...SAD very SAD indeed.

And... Nixon got us out.JFK sent us into Vietnam. 57,000 dead Americans and tens of thousands more suffering with PTSD, all for nothing.

John F. Kennedy sent thousands to Vietnam.
Nixon opposed Kennedy in the 1960 election.
Both facts, speculation otherwise seems like a foolish waste of one's time unless the goal of the discussion is simply to divide the people of the USA.
Those who divide us will conquer us.
US troop strength peaked in April 1969; drawdown began in September 1969.yeah but the fucking evil bastard COULD have gotten us out in 1969...And... Nixon got us out.JFK sent us into Vietnam. 57,000 dead Americans and tens of thousands more suffering with PTSD, all for nothing.

"yeah, but..." only means I'm right and you'd rather not discuss it.
I know you do not like the fact that Nixon got us out of Vietnam, but it is, indeed, a fact.Dont know where you get these false conclusions...US troop strength peaked in April 1969; drawdown began in September 1969.yeah but the fucking evil bastard COULD have gotten us out in 1969...

The problem here rests with you, and you alone.
