Testimony of Spruille Braden before the Senate Subcommittee on Internal Security: "But I observed that when the United States, in the face of the solid support against the Soviet and communism given us by the Batista regime, refused to ship arms to that Government (bought and paid for by it, frequently on the recommendations of our military, naval and air missions), it inevitably would convince the Cuban people that we were supporting Castro and opposed to Batista. I said that this interpretation would lead to Castro's victory, which would result in chaos throughout Cuba, which in turn would lead to Communist control of that island. This is exactly what happened."

Just as Ike refused to do anything at all, by word or deed, to help the Hungarians in their brave fight against the stinking Commies, in '56, so too did our government hand Cuba over to Castro.
