Maybe they were just trying to center Kennedy?
Every person
who has ever crossed their heart to Pledge their Allegiance should be immensely disturbed.
Which Americans after learning about Operation Northwoods ARE NOT immensely disturbed?
Author James Bamford, “A Pretext For War”, discusses the recently declassified “Operation Northwoods” documents revealing that in 1962 the CIA was planning to stage phony terrorist attacks on the US and blame it on Cuba to start a war.

…If one is aware of the devices by which leaders have garnered power and support for any given war or agenda historically, one can easily discern the same machinations at work today. A key ingredient to any successful war rally or acquisition of power is the exploitation of fear through the manipulation of perception.

– President Bush, October 29, 2001
“See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.”
– President Bush, May 24, 2005 in Rochester, NY.

I have no idea why you’re taking this so light-hearted. This wasn’t some nutty junior officer who thought of this crazy idea and was then cycled out of the army. The Joint Chiefs approved of this plan and submitted it to the Secretary of Defense.

I guess I’m taking it lightheartedly because it happened 40 years ago or so, at a pinnacle in the Cold War, and because maybe the JC were told to think up anything and everything. But hello, the SoD ixnayed it and never sent it to the White House.
Why aren’t you up in arms at the Nagasaki atom bomb? Some penis said, “Hey, THAT was sweet! Let’s do another one, kay?”
wtf was that all about? There’s a bad plan that got through. Northwoods did not. But in this day and age, when mind police are everywhere, one cannot say “nappy headed hoes” or suggest starting a war by blaming a terrorist attack on someone else without setting off outrage!
OUTRAGE! I say!

The two situations are completely different. We were still at war with imperial Japan, and even if the second atom bomb was unnecessary, in the very least it was an open attack against a declared enemy. In this case, our military commanders approved of a plan to carry out terrorist attacks against our own people and blame a foreign enemy in order to start a war. Do you really not see a difference there?
Yes it was 40 years ago, and yes McNamara nixed the plan, but what can I say? I’m still shocked. Our highest military commanders conspiring to treason? I did not expect that.

Yeah man, totally. And let’s face it… it makes one wonder what powerful people with such unshakeable convictions might contemplate doing, if say, the nation’s faith in the righteousness of the so-called War on Terror began to waver…
I said that yesterday and today I read this:
Arkansas GOP head: We need more ‘attacks on American soil’ so people appreciate Bush
The owner of a water treatment company, Milligan was a relative unknown in Arkansas politics until being elected the party chairman. He had previously served as the party’s treasurer and the Saline County Republican chair.
:roflmao:
This fat bastard should be put on a terrorist watch list. With his ready ability to poison the water supply to promote Bush, Arkansas residents better watch out for skin rashes, vomiting, diarrhoea, etc. etc. etc.
