This guy is the greatest threat to the US since JFK! How many of you remember the Bay of Pigs and what that lead to with the USSR in short order simply because JFK wanted to look 'strong and Presidential' early on in his term?
Give JFK a break. The Bay of Pigs wasn't his baby. That was an Eisenhower plan that he allowed to proceed. That may have been a mistake, but it wasn't a simply a matter of wanting to look 'strong and Presidential'.
So I shouldn't blame Eisenhower in that case for not shit canning Operation Ajax inside Iran in 1953 because it was a left over plan from the Truman administration? How did that regime change go knocking off a lawfully elected democratic government and eventually installing the Shah? Can we say regime change? How we doing with Iran now?
JFK had a three month window to call the Bay of Pigs invasion off, but he didn't, well knowing the USSR was an ally of Cuba. Or how about Eisenhower getting us started in Vietnam sending in "military advisers" after the French Foreign Legion got their asses tossed out. Every 'Nam vet that was in RVN was so very proud to serve there and be poisoned with toxic defoliants and to be used as the pawns of a President's errors and mistakes...FUCKIN' A!
No, I'm not going to tread easy on foolish errors that former OR CURRENT presidents make while in office!
