		Lemnitzer had no respect for civilians he reported to and believed they interfered with the proper role of the military.
		This was to give Lemnitzer and his staff the excuse, as well as the public and international backing from an outraged world they needed to launch a war against Castro’s Cuba.
		Within months, Lemnitzer was denied a second term as JCS chairman and was transferred to Europe as chief of NATO.

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Winter 1998
		James L. Binder's biography of General Lyman Lemnitzer is an overdue look at an Army officer who played a pivotal role in the history of the United States and its Army during this century.
		Lemnitzer correctly saw that the US role as a world leader requires tangible commitment to be effective, and he dedicated his later life to maintaining the transatlantic links that ensure US-European ties for security and peace.
		As Binder's biography has portrayed him, Lyman Lemnitzer was one of the last of the old-style generals, whose outlook was formed by the professional values of the pre-World War II Army--apolitical, tightly focused on the military's role in a democratic society, quietly authoritative.

	When U.S. Joint Chiefs Planned Terror Attacks on America
		The overall Pentagon project was known as "Operation Mongoose," and was the responsibility of Edward Lansdale (a CIA man who was Deputy Director of the Pentagon's Office of Special Operations at the time), and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JSC), Gen. Lyman Lemnitzer, a holdover from the Eisenhower Administration.
		The military planners led by Lemnitzer wanted to launch a full-scale invasion of Cuba to overthrow Castro—and perhaps, as well, they were anxious to show that they could succeed where the CIA had failed.
		Lemnitzer and others were also extremely distrustful of the new administration—especially after the Bay of Pigs, in which there were allegations that President Kennedy had refused to provide air support at the last minute (although it has since been documented that this was not Kennedy's decision).

		Though little known to the public, Lemnitzer had 51 years of Army duty, 27 of them as a general.
		He did, however, wield enormous influence on American military policy, as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, supreme Allied commander in Europe, vice chief and then chief of staff of the Army, and commander-in-chief in the Far East.
		Lemnitzer was a superb planner, not a warrior, Binder shows, although he displayed exceptional courage and bravery when, as described in the most exciting bit of the book, he took a secret submarine trip to a seaside villa to help plan the Allied invasion of North Africa during WWII.

	Code named Operation Northwoods,
		Lyman L. Lemnitzer, shown Jan. 9, 1957, was head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time the plans were drawn up and presented to the secretary of defense.
		The Joint Chiefs at the time were headed by Eisenhower appointee Army Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer, who, with the signed plans in hand made a pitch to McNamara on March 13, 1962, recommending Operation Northwoods be run by the military.
		Even after Lemnitzer was gone, he writes, the Joint Chiefs continued to plan "pretext" operations at least through 1963.

		Evidencing an unshakable faith in the principles and objectives upon which NATO was rounded, General Lemnitzer sacrificed the privileges and freedom of retirement which he had long since merited in order that he might further serve the Alliance by assuming the duties of SACEUR/CINCEUR.
		These singularly distinctive accomplishments clearly established General Lemnitzer as a truly outstanding officer of international status and culminated more than 50 years of continuous uniformed service with more than 27 years service as a general officer.
		A grateful nation recognizes that General Lemnitzer's long and distinguished career continues the finest traditions of the military service and reflects the highest credit upon himself, the Armed Forces of the United States, and the United States of America.

		Lemnitzer is a prime example of the distorted politics of "right wing" elitism that grows thick within that military industrial bunch.
		Not that Lemnitzer himself was financially estimable, but he was, instead, an easy pawn of the old Liberty Lobby, Black Guard/Bircher doings of those who wanted so much information repressed from we, the people.
		See the Stig Agermose interview with Birnes at: http://www.ufomind.com/area51/list/1997/jun/a19-002.shtml The Lansdale Lemnitzer circle wasn't a prime mover in itself; instead it was the pawn of fairly obvious interests.

		But three days later, President Kennedy told Lemnitzer directly there was virtually no possibility of ever using overt force to take Cuba, Bamford reports.
		Within months, Lemnitzer would be denied another term as chairman and transferred to another job.
		The secret plans came at a time when there was distrust in the military leadership about their civilian leadership, with leaders in the Kennedy administration viewed as too liberal, insufficiently experienced and soft on communism.

	American Politics Journal -- When Spin Backfires
		When directly asked by Congress whether plans were afoot for the invasion of Cuba, General Lemnitzer swore an oath and said no. Eventually, he was removed from his position.
		It is comforting to believe General Lemnitzer was on the lunatic fringe, a man obsessed with Cuba to such a degree that he would be willing to attack his fellow citizens to create the false pretext for war.
		Yet the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff "signed off" on Operation Northwoods, leading to the inevitable conclusion that this cavalier and bloodthirsty attitude towards the lives and safety of American citizens and military personnel was not the exception, but the rule.

		Lemnitzer and Taylor disagreed with Power, who had the audacity to recommend the resumption of U-2 flights over the Soviet Union.
		Lemnitzer's tacit rejection of Kaysen's proposal for a limited first strike option meant that Kennedy had no military alternative to the massive attack option posited by SIOP-62.
		According to a report that Lemnitzer presented to Kennedy a week later, Soviet missiles could be launched in 5 to 10 minutes if missile crews were on alert, electrical equipment was warmed up, and missiles were fueled and topped.

		A month later, on March 13, 1962, Gen. Lyman Lemnitzer, then chairman of the Joint Chiefs, forwarded the plans for a possible terror campaign and other dirty tricks to then-Defense Secretary Robert McNamara.
		Again calling them a "preliminary submission for planning purposes," Lemnitzer, writing for all of the military chiefs, said: "It is assumed that there will be similar submissions from other agencies and that these inputs will be used as a basis for developing a time-phased plan."
		In a follow-up memorandum to McNamara dated April 10, 1962, Lemnitzer wrote that the Joint Chiefs believed that the Cuban problem "must be solved in the near future."

		A March 13, 1962, letter from Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Lyman Lemnitzer to Defence Secretary Robert McNamara said the chiefs have studied the document and "recommend that the proposed memorandum be forwarded as a preliminary submission suitable for planning purposes."
		The Lemnitzer letter and the memo were uncovered by author James Bamford, whose book, Body of Secrets, includes a chapter on covert anti-Castro activities.
		In his book, Bamford said Lemnitzer's personal writings suggest he fully endorsed faking pretexts to invade Cuba and urged the proposals to McNamara, who rejected them.
