Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"I get a lot of advice and I need a lot, and I seek it all the time."

"I didn't start any war, although I would like very much to see the free people of Cuba be able to govern themselves without the dictations of Mr. Castro."

"We couldn't make any precommitments and we wouldn't sign a blank check to a treaty that we didn't know what was in it, but that we would do what was fair, what was right, and what was just."

"But there is no country that is willing to do that, that we know of, so neutralization is not very practical at this stage of the game."
