You're just repeating lefty propaganda. STOP DOING THAT!

JFK gave us Nam, screwed up the Steel Unions,and much more that was TERRIBLE/disastrous.

You not only have a lousy memory, your facts are NOT "FACTS" at all.

Kennedy also chose Johnson as VP, giving us one of the most damaging liberal presidents in our history.

I never heard anyone quote Nixon. He wasn’t dumb like Bush 43, but he wasn’t very smart where it counted.

Well, if you haven't heard it, it can't be true.

"In February 1955, Eisenhower dispatched the first American soldiers to Vietnam as military advisors to Diem's army. After Diem announced the formation of the Republic of Vietnam (RVN, commonly known as South Vietnam) in October, Eisenhower immediately recognized the new state and offered military, economic, and technical assistance."

It just implies that Kennedy was smarter than Nixon. Like I say, Reagan always quoted Kennedy and Limbaugh used to play some of his speech’s on his show. The only thing I can remember Nixon saying with any authority was, “Well, you don’t have Nixon to kick around anymore!”

What’s next a bust of Joe McCarthy.

i'm surprised Kennedy didn't have one since the entire Kennedy family was pretty close to "Tailgunner Joe".

Bobby was in the running against Roy Cohn for the job as McCarthy's legal counsel. Bobby almost got the job.

Can you imagine what the world would have looked like if that would have happened?

Pat Znixon predicts the future. That is worth displaying IMHO.

NO one has provided more persuasive evidence that it was President John F. Kennedy who got the United States into the Vietnam war than James Reston in his recently published memoir, “Deadline.”Describing his interview with Mr. Kennedy following the young president’s summit with Nikita Khrushchev in Vienna, Mr. Reston has this to say: “I remember that Saturday morning very well. He (Kennedy) arrived at the US embassy (in Vienna) over an hour late, shaken and angry at having been delayed by an unexpected extra meeting with the Soviet leader. He was wearing a hat - unusual for him - and he pushed it down over his forehead, sat down on a couch beside me, and sighed. I said it must have been a roug h session. Much rougher than he had expected, he said.” Kennedy then told Reston that Mr. Khrushchev had threatened him, warning that if the US did not agree to communist control over access to Berlin, the Soviet Union would proceed unilaterally to dominate the routes from Western Europe to Berlin. Kennedy said that he replied that the US would fight to maintain access to its garrison in Berlin if necessary. Kennedy then went on to tell Reston that he felt sure that Khrushchev thought that anybody who had made such a mess of the Cuban invasion had no judgment. “Khrushchev,” writes Reston, “had treated Kennedy with contempt, even challenging his courage, and whatever else Kennedy may have lacked, he didn’t lack courage. He felt he had to act.” Soon thereafter Kennedy sent more advisers to the battlefront in Vietnam. “This, I thought,” Reston continues, “was a critical mistake. Once Kennedy had over 15,000 ‘advisers’ engaged not only in giving advice but also in giving support on the battlefield. US power and prestige were thought by many officials in Washington and in Asian capitals to be committed.”

One has everything to do with the other.

If I have to explain it to you, you won’t get it.

Sounds like just another book with hearsay evidence. Eisenhower is the one who got the ball rolling in Nam, as my post indicated.

During the House Assassination Review Board investigations in the mid 1990’s, memo’s were unearthed that indicated that Kennedy was going to curtail operations in Nam. I believe Doug Horne has those memos.

Scotty Reston had a meeting with Kennedy minutes after he met with Kruschev, and told him face to face how it went. Reston, at the time, was the Washington Bureau Chief for the NY Times. He was one of the most connected reporters in the world.

I’ve read Reston’s autobiography where he describes his interview with Kennedy. He states that Kennedy made the decision to step up US involvement in Viet Nam after his failed meeting with Kruschev.

He had to prove to K that he had the balls to stand up to him.

It was the point of no return on Viet Nam.

I see you don’t even acknowledge that Eishenhower had anything to do with it. And you ignore what LBj did, too. Believe what you believe.

To be “fair”, LBJ was foisted on JFK; however, LBJ was one of THE worst presidents ever.

Your reveling in your ignorance; you shouldn't.

You and many others here, sadly, know NOTHING at all that is FACTUAL, about Mr. Nixon.
