And Fidel is such a nice man....
On or Off Cuba Ping!
Who else? Hummmmmmm
Obviously they didn’t use the Corleone family. Big mistake.
Heck, I tried to get my brother to kill Castro......
SO TOMKOW hear of this story ROFL
Yeah, we’ve never heard about this before, except in every conspiracy theory book ever written since 1963.
Yeah that so true ROFL
I think Colrone would done the job RIGHT ROFL
The Bay of Pigs would have worked but JFK refused to provide aircover from the carriers waiting off shore. Castro, a known coward, held his forces back until it was quite obvious the Americans weren’t coming. Cuba always needed a Pinochet or a Franco to liberate them. He died on the beach due to JFK’s treachery.
We just saw a repeat with Chavez. He up and left the country for a few days. When it was obvious we weren’t going to help the people who overthrew him, he came back...and the rest is history.
So far nothing new has been released.
Sounds like the mafia is just as incompetent as the government.
Come to think of it, they are pretty much the same thing today anyway.
I was a kid during the Cuban missile crisis and I remember after it was all over my best friend and I decided we were going to invade Cuba and overthrow Castro. Our plan involved building our own airplanes using old lawn mower engines.
Our scheme seems to have worked about as well as the CIA’s.
Maybe they did? ..but not for Castro?
The MSM must be huffing if the best that they can come up with this week to bash America is some 40 year old, half baked scheme to kill Castro.
Who gives a damn?
I was in 2nd or 3rd grade at that time. I only remember it all because the principal of my school, an ancient Irish nun who walked with a cane—Sister Rita, came on the intercom one day and sent all of us next door to the church to pray because, she said, we were about to be bombed to oblivion. Fortunately, we didn’t know what oblivion was.
I like your lawnmower engines idea. Fly in low under the radar?
My story says that JFK was unaware of the plot until less than 24 hours before the landing. He would not release the support because there was no assessment of the consequences of invading Cuba.
More proof that billions of taxpayers money has been wasted on a bunch of blue blooded, Ivy League incompetents.
Any decently performing clandestine operation in those days could have bumped Castro off in between coffee breaks.
They could have saved Miami and southern Florida if they had been able to GIT R’ DONE.
Now both are lost to the third world forever.
