Wasn't it Lyndon Johnson who escalated the war after Kennedy's assassination? I believe what they started cost us 53,000, FIFTY THREE THOUSAND American lives! The rumor is that they were Democrats! My word!
But, some people think that only Republicans start wars, or spend Millions/billions of dollars of tax money doing it, or have cost American lives!
Better I sit down and wait for the response to this post. After all, I am a Republican and must be stupid from what some people say! NOT! |
might i be ready to read the following.
On March 17, 1960, the US President Dwight D. Eisenhower agreed to a recommendation from the Central Intelligence Agency to equip and drill Cuban exiles for action against the new Cuban government of Fidel Castro.[4] Eisenhower stated it was the policy of the US government to aid anti-Castro guerrilla forces.[5] The CIA was initially confident it was capable of overthrowing the Cuban government, having experience assisting in the overthrow of other foreign governments such as the government of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh in 1953 and Guatemalan President Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán in 1954.
