Let's do a play on words.... I'll remove Cuba/Castro with Middle East. Now it will not fit in completely but the idea of it gets across.
Firstly however - this was a real document with real plans from the highest point of government. So no it really isn't me who is being cryptic...
"Operation Northwoods, which had the written approval of the Chairman and every member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called for innocent people to be shot on American streets; for boats carrying refugees fleeing Middle East to be sunk on the high seas; for a wave of violent terrorism to be launched in Washington, D.C., Miami, and elsewhere. People would be framed for bombings they did not commit; planes would be hijacked. Using phony evidence, all of it would be blamed on Middle East, thus giving Lemnitzer and his cabal the excuse, as well as the public and international backing, they needed to launch their war."
