John Kennedy actually said...

"Peace in the Middle East is not one step nearer reality today than it was 8 years ago - but Russian influence is immeasurably greater."

"The harsh facts of the matter are that our security and leadership are both slipping away from us."

"The present state of tensions serves only the worst interests of Arab and Israeli alike."

"To face those facts is not disloyal, as some have implied - it is the highest type of loyalty."
