Well, it's no wonder you're flat-out wrong about the Turkey missiles. Why don't you read Robert McNamara's own account if only for the tortured nuances and the distinctions without a difference.


So the president agreed, and he told Bobby to tell Dobrynin that we agreed to pledge we would not invade Cuba in return for Khrushchev taking Soviet missiles out of Cuba. And, in addition, Dobrynin could tell Khrushchev that unilaterally – not part of an agreement, but unilaterally -- we were going to take the Jupiter missiles out of Turkey and replace them, in effect, by Polaris submarines off the coast of Turkey. So that was the deal. It was not an agreement; it was a statement of unilateral action.
