    Sounds good, count me in. However, I'd want an endless supply of to quality Cuban cigars to puff on in my Oregon fishing/hunting lodge by a big toasty fire after a great dinner of fresh fried fish.

    It was ill conceived in the first place meaning air support would have just compounded the problem.

    My cousin was a Marine stationed at Guantanamo and he had run in and was wounded. He said that Castro was tip off at the invasion and the cubans freedom fighters were sitting ducks.

    The fact is they had no support among Cubans. We have come to take back land you were given and end literacy program aren't popular positions.

    There were a lot of Cuban ex patriots in Florida in on the plan. You just can't keep an invasion from the free country of the United States a secret.

    I think Ike would have been successful.

    I don't think Ike would have done it.

    When Kennedy was in office a politician would have put his investments in a blind trust and you could have trusted him to keep it blind.

    There have been 115 supreme Court justices. 108 have been white men. Yet somehow it is discrimination to appoint a highly qualified Black woman.
    Apparently a penis and lack of melanin are necessary qualifications.

    In that case I should be massively qualified.
