#3 "...left the United States because he opposed the presidency of George W. Bush..."
Put this Frenchman in one of the Kennedy plots, please, not among the other Americans.

#5 Like many of JFK's minions, Pierre le Moonbat was a "cultured and outspoken" member of the elite, but completely ignorant of large swatches of reality. The most dangerous of these gaps, of course, was ignorance of their own limits. Robert McNamara, for instance, really believed that his experience promoting the Edsel at Ford Motor Company qualified him to run the Pentagon. Kennedy acolyte John Kenneth Galbraith, still wasting oxygen today at age 95, is a laughing stock in two countries, the US and India (where he almost single-handedly drove Nehru into the Soviet camp while acting as JFK's ambassador.) Earlier, as a member of an economic survey team in Germany at the end of WW2, Galbraith cited the failure to provide propellors for the Luftwaffe's Me-262s as evidence that German military-industrial competence was overrated. The planes were, of course, jets.
More recently, he predicted that American soldiers would be as "befuddled in Afghanistan as they were in Vietnam." This may well be true, but not in the way he intended.

#7 Our P-59 props didn't work worth a damn either. I blame McNamara.
