50 Years Ago Today
#17
Drew Phipps Wrote:Albert seems to be suggesting that the Armed Forces carried out the assassination then changed their mind about the ensuing war. I wonder why, after succeeding in the coup, the plotters wouldn't get what they wanted.


Tracy seems to be suggesting that the plotters were farther removed from foreign policy decisions than the "Establishment." That phrase (when capitalized) usually refers to moneyed interests centered in the northeastern part of the US, commonly believed to control a) the economy and b) the political process. Do you then agree Tracy, that the plotters were military? Or have I misunderstood the use of the word establishment in this context?

Yes, my opinion is that elements in the military and intelligence community were the organizers of the plot. I know others here disagree with me (the Evica/Drago model).
