At the time President Kennedy was assassinated, Karl Rove was 12. Lyndon Baines Johnson was 55.
I believe so. Both Kennedys did try to have Castro assassinated.
If the Warren Commission had found Castro responsible that would have forced a war with Cuber, which would have involved the Soviets. This would have distracted from our attempt to control the oil reserves off the coast of Vietnam. (Note that the "oil crisis" started shortly after we lost in Vietnam)
And there is that odd data point that we still do not have diplomatic relations with our former playground, and 4th closest neighbor...
I'll have to check that out..
LOL!
Unfortunately for me, my future son-in-law believes Alex, LOL! His parents still have a portrait of JFK on their mantle. I love ribbing him, it makes my daughter mad, but I just can't seem to help myself. When I called after the SOTU address to talk to my daughter, I apologized for calling so late, telling him I had to wait until "King George" got done speaking, LOL! Silence came from the other end of the phone and then my daughter's voice "MOM, THAT ISN"T FUNNY!". Oh really...then why am I ROTFLMAO?
Jackied did it. She had enough of his philandering. More power to her!
This is b.s. Oswald didn't know Kennedy would be coming to Dallas, let alone his route, when he took the job at the Book Depository. It was a matter of looser being in the "right" place at the right time.
You are completely detached from reality and history. All the interviews with people there and you can still believe in three shooters? Do you subscribe to the Weekly World News too?
Because you are a ravingnutter?
Kennedy tried to get organized crime to take out Castro and Castro found out about it. Castro hated Kennedy because of the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Oswald visited Cuba just prior to the assasination. Certainly Castro wasn't grieving when Kennedy got shot.
Whoever was behind it wanted it to look like a Cuban operation; hence Oswald.
By 1963, however, Kennedy had abandoned the Bay of Pigs rebels to their fate and had given the Russians assurances he would not attack Cuba as part of the missile crisis fiasco. The Kennedy's had been outmaneuvered and defeated on Cuba. Kruschev thought Kennedy was a dilettante and generally had his way with him. Why have him bumped off?
I probably should know what this means, but I don't. Could you enlighten me? thanks.
Castro was denied a visa to Cuba. He did not visit the island. He did visit the embassy in Mexico city.
And all of the business they lost when Castro took over Cuba. Kennedy was weak on Cuba, failed to overthrow him and wouldn't try again. The mob was mad because they fixed the election for their friend-Joe Kennedy's son.
