Trowbridge H. Ford Wrote:Why? Because he knew that JFK had taken the hit in Dallas so that Castro could be eliminated too as its fallguy, thanks to more plotting by the guys in the woodwork, but with the wounding of Connally - most likely accidental because of the failure of Richard Cain to test fire the rifle so that it shot straight in Dealey Plaza - the showdown with Havana was no longer possible, making Vietnam again the battleground. This left David with no story to tell, and LBJ with a terrible mess to clean up.
THF: Referencing the above bold print, does the pronoun "he" refer to Halberstam or LBJ? And why would the murder of JFK eliminate Castro as the fallguy?
It appears the "he" refers to Halberstam, which would imply that you agree in part with Eugenio. Halberstam knew but ignored that the boys in the woodwork killed JFK.
