I doubt the "LeMay was really in Canada" thing has any legs. louis-t Nov 2013 #20

Yep there are all kinds of theories around. zeemike Nov 2013 #26

So it goes. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #34

Why do you continue to imply things that are not true about me, SidDithers? Octafish Nov 2013 #36

You are a very respected DUer Octafish, one of the most respected, in fact one of the reasons sabrina 1 Nov 2013 #88

This message was self-deleted by its author Octafish Nov 2013 #40

The "new tape" was released in Jan '12. And the article shows it's not a lie Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #43

The salient information from the new tape is LeMay lied about his whereabouts (REPOST). Octafish Nov 2013 #45

And my points still remain valid. Not a new tape, and not proof of a lie. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #46

Absolutely. And the fact remains LeMay disobeyed orders... Octafish Nov 2013 #47

Lemay disobeying orders is yet to be established, Octafish. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #48

It's relevant because it was edited out of the tapes in the National Archives. Octafish Nov 2013 #49

The conversation between LBJ, Ladybird, and Rose Kennedy was also edited out, Octafish. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #50

My source is Bill Kelly. His source is Andrews AFB Log from 22 November 1963. Octafish Nov 2013 #53

OK, already it's changed from "disobeyed an order" to "disobeyed wishes." Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #54

No. LeMay disobeyed an order to fly to Andrews AFB. All the rest of that is what you say. Octafish Nov 2013 #55

I have shown you are wrong about that. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #58

The log puts 'NOT' in all caps, meaning Le May is not going where he was ordered. Octafish Nov 2013 #60

There was no order. You are 100% wrong about that. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #61

Insubordination is a crime, Bolo Boffin. Octafish Nov 2013 #62

But what you are saying is insubordination is not insubordination, Octafish. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #63

Something to remember to ask when going over all this: Why was LeMay in Canada? Octafish Nov 2013 #64

He was in Upper Michigan on a hunting and fishing trip. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #65

No. I'm just wondering why he had to be picked up hundreds of miles away in Canada. Octafish Nov 2013 #67

Well, whatever floats your boat. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #69

There's no need to theorize. The facts themselves are startling. Octafish Nov 2013 #70

Hammer sees every problem as a nail: startling! n/t Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #71

Which is why Dulles and Lemnitzer counseled all-out nuclear sneak attack on USSR Octafish Nov 2013 #72

And so how did the all-out nuclear attack on USSR go after Kennedy was out of the way? n/t Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #73

THE TAKE-AWAY: JFK stood up to the Cold War hawks who counseled war -- EVERY TIME. Octafish Nov 2013 #74

You mean they killed Kennedy to get a nuclear war and then they didn't get one? Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #76

It looks that way. Octafish Nov 2013 #77

It's not telling. It's not relevant. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #82

Well, that certainly is what Allen Dulles and J Edgar Hoover said happened. Octafish Nov 2013 #84

You certainly do have an addiction to the genetic fallacy. Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #94

Hitler connects directly to Allen Dulles and John McCloy... Octafish Nov 2013 #95

And Justin Bieber? Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #97

The CIA enlisted the Mafia to assassinate Castro in 1960. Octafish Nov 2013 #98

And this was openly known and provable in 1960? Which was my question? n/t Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #99

You asked about Justin Bieber, Bolo Boffin. Octafish Nov 2013 #100

Yes, to introduce some much needed levity to this discussion. Nevertheless Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #101

A recurring theme throughout Kennedy's term in office seems to be the Pentagon's 'desire' for a..... LongTomH Nov 2013 #32

Yes, and once they offed JFK, they starting shooting nukes! Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #35

It looks like that was their plan in Dallas, too, doesn't it? Octafish Nov 2013 #37

So how did that late 1963 preemptive nuclear strike work out for the Pentagon? Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #39

That would make an excellent avenue of inquiry, Bolo Boffin. Octafish Nov 2013 #41

I'll get right on that. n/t Bolo Boffin Nov 2013 #42
