Oh give me a break! If you think that the hospital was yet another coverup
for "subversives" (Cubans - I'm not putting words in your mouth, but you
did imply this), you're crazy. I'll bet that the damn pilot didn't even
know that he/she was bombing a hospital. My bet is that the pilot made a
major screwup and the air force had to cover it up *somehow*, otherwise
our "rescue mission" might have become tainted and the media might have
even come out against such an act (not likely since the wishy-washy US
media didn't even question the *invasion* (it was *not* a "rescue mission").

Let's face it folks, the air force screwed up and had to cover their asses.
No war/invasion is a clash between the "good guys" and the "bad guys", and
to stand up on a soapbox waving old glory and saying that the dirty Cubans
stooped to such a low so as to use a hospital as a military outpost (and
therefore *they* should be blamed, not us) is absolutely ridiculous!
