Default Too good to pass up...

This whole Arab Spring thing can still blow up in our face if these
guys don't turn out to be the peace loving people we hope they will
be. I can remember people talking about what a great guy Castro was
because he defeated that evil dictator Batista and how he was going to
bring freedom to the island.. That lasted about 6 weeks until Castro
said, "Oh wait. Maybe I am really a communist" (after denying it for
years) and started nationalizing the whole island. Two years later we
damned near had WWIII over Cuba.

This time it might be WWIII over Israel.


Fortunately, we didn't have an absolute dummy in the white house during
the cuban missle crisis. We did have an absolute dummy in the white
house from 2001 to January 2009. You know, the guy who started two wars
with countries not at war with us. That dummy.


JFK was pretty stupid in that affair and was clearly thinking with his
dick not his brain.


I thought it was a good move. No nukes 10 minutes away.

He took this whole thing to the brink of WWIII for exactly the same
deal he could have had 10 months before without any drama.


Maybe sensationalized. 0bama is moving back into it. You should see
what the Chinese and Russian news say about the US-Euro Debtors
Regime...Syria might be the one to start it up all over again.

The Soviets wanted our missiles out of Turkey, they pushed the issue
by putting missiles in Cuba and in the end we pulled the missiles out
of Turkey.


Yep, DC hypocrisy.

We just had a dick measuring contest that almost destroyed the world
before we did it.


Another reason why big government is bad. Becomes a political power
**** fest at the citizens expense. Be it JFK or 0bama or in-between.

I never thought this was a success, on any level. All we proved was
that the Soviets were not as crazy as we thought they were. What we
didn't understand was that Castro had operational control of some of
those missiles and that they were capable of firing them. (a serious
CIA failure)


Yep. But both sides got what they wanted politically. And excuse to
spend trillions on war machinery making war industrialists lots of money
off the taxpayers.
