And YOU as well, Obama!!!!
"JFK conflicted over Saigon coup; New tapes reveal uncertainty over how to react" by Barry Schweid, Associated Press | November 4, 2009
WASHINGTON - Newly released White House tapes from the Vietnam War era portray President John F. Kennedy wrestling over the fate of South Vietnam’s strongman in a situation that appears to mirror President Obama’s quandary today in dealing with Afghanistan’s shaky government.
I guess the MSM is SENDING YOU a MESSAGE, Karzai!

Obama is beset by questions about President Hamid Karzai’s popularity, honesty, and management of the war against Taliban, while Kennedy dealt in 1963 with President Ngo Dinh Diem and his inability to turn the tide against Viet Cong insurgents. At issue in both conflicts was a rising number of US casualties in defending unpopular governments.
And yet THAT ELUDES the PAPER DAY AFTER DAY because THAT is what I LOOK FOR!!!!
Forty-six years ago this week, Vietnamese generals, confident they had the support of their US allies, overthrew Diem’s government in Saigon. But Kennedy, conflicted by a State Department green light to the generals in their coup, questioned the move. “I don’t see any reason to go ahead unless we think we have a good chance of success,’’ Kennedy told his advisers a few days after the department’s cable was sent in August 1963 to Saigon.
Readers, just reading the MSM account brings me to tears.
It was not until much later in life that I truly understood the implications of JFK's death -- and the whys!

I guess the FURTHER WE MOVE ALONG in this world the MORE I REALIZE what a TRULY GREAT and BRAVE MAN he was!! I'm even crying while typing and thinking about it.
And seeing as we are talking Vietnam, nothing about the typhoon , huh, MSM?
Audio tapes and transcripts of four days of White House meetings released this week by the John F. Kennedy Library reflect uncertainty over what steps to take to try to bolster Saigon’s government, riddled with corruption and out of touch with its citizens.
Those cross-hairs are for you, Karzai!
Diem, the South Vietnamese president, and his brother, Ngo Dinh Nhu, were killed in the coup. The assassinations were not discussed in the White House meetings, JFK Library Archivist Maura Porter said yesterday.
Yeah, maybe Karzai could talk to his brother!?
While the released tapes showed his reservations, the tapes did not show whether Kennedy tried to stop the coup. Cable 243 was transmitted by the State Department without the direct approval of key presidential advisers.
So they WENT AROUND JFK!!!
How could he SIGN OFF on something he KNEW NOTHING ABOUT?
It said “if Diem remains obdurate and refuses’’ to remove his brother, who was his security adviser, “then we must face the possibility that Diem himself cannot be preserved.’’
But Kennedy, according to a transcript, said: “I don’t think we ought to just do it (the coup) because we feel we have to now do it. I think we want to make it our best judgment because I don’t think we have to do it.’’
During the talks, State Department officials said they felt it was too late to step back from supporting a coup. Disagreeing, Kennedy said: “I don’t think we ought to take the view here that this has gone beyond our control because I think that would be the worst reason to do it.’’
The State Department cable called for President Diem to remove his brother from a position of power and threatened US support for a military coup in South Vietnam if he refused, according to the tapes.
With the cable, the United States “started down a road that we really never recovered from,’’ Robert F. Kennedy told historian Arthur Schlesinger.
Yes, and THREE WEEKS LATER it would CLAIM HIS BELOVED BROTHER!!!!
And THERE I GO AGAIN!
