    pacificguitarist. Please read the history books, the one that document the truth rather than what they want you to know. Kennedy made a mistake of not supporting the invasion of cuba with aircraft (so say the books). But he did not sanction the invasion which should never have taken place. As it was his actions cost him his life because the resentment caused by his so called abandonment of those troops in the Bay of Pigs were deeply involved in his assassination. Them, the CIA and the FBI.

    Ruga- it is widely known that JFK did NOT want to escalate the war to the levels that Johnson did. Johnson, once Kennedy died, often said that he disagreed with Kennedys' stance on vietnam.

  • He speaks fairly ...

    He speaks fairly clear, has fairly good eye contact with other people that are watching he's speech, and pretty calm about speaking he's speech. So he rocks.
