"The Cuban Missile Crisis — 'Solved' This week 49 Years Ago"

By Humberto Fontova

""Kennedy pulled defeat out of the jaws of victory,” wrote Richard Nixon. "Then gave the Soviets squatters rights in our backyard."

"We've been had!" yelled then Navy chief George Anderson upon hearing on October 28, 1962, how JFK "solved" the missile crisis. Adm. Anderson was the man in charge of the very "blockade" against Cuba.

""The biggest defeat in our nation's history!" bellowed Air Force chief Curtis Lemay, while whacking his fist on his desk."
