It is interesting that you bring up Cuba -

As I went to lunch today with my wife, NPR played some babbling fool talking about President Kennedy and the distrust he had of the military because they failed so badly at the Bay of Pigs.

I don't know how I kept from throwing up.

And why are you listening to National Putrid Radio? It is an efficacious emetic but I see no other reason for tuning in.

I imagine JFK chickened out on Cuba because the Russians laid out how much information they had on him, from sleeping with Hitler's spygirl to his real healthy situation to his boffing young Catholic girls in the White House. The nude group swims at Camp David and other news would have doomed him for re-election.
