JFK: Olmert Has To Go
After the Bay of Pigs fiasco, John F. Kennedy ousted CIA director Allen Dulles and Richard Bissell Jr., the agency’s Directorate for Plans. In a meeting with Bissell, the president said: “In a parliamentary government, I’d have to resign. But in this government I can’t, so you and Allen have to go.”
Wonder what JFK would have made of Ehud Olmert.
