Thank you for redirecting me to the links.
It is good to see that you have a find understanding of the English language. Let me show you a quote from the actual site,
"the Top Secret memorandum describes U.S.
plans to covertly engineer various pretexts that would justify a U.S. invasion of Cuba. These
proposals....". The site then goes on to say,
"
may be the most corrupt
plan ever created by the U.S. government.” Source:

Now what part of
proposal,
plans, and
may don't you get? This document just demonstrates that the Pentagon does come up with some upsurd ideas and obviously someone with intelligence in the Pentagon vetoed this idea, because it is a stupid, and any investigation would get the government caught red handed.
Your links don't actually prove anything, it shows that you that such fake hijackings were planed but
never excecuted.
I never said they carried out operation northwoods, maybe you missed that part. The point is, even waay back in the 60's the government was capable of making plans to trick people into war which included faking the deaths of all sorts of people. It shows the government at its highest ranks is very very ok with twisting the worlds emotions around their fingers, claiming deaths all to invade cuba. Kind of like during the first gulf war they paraded that lady around saying Saddam was having babies removed from incubators and tossing them on the floor left to die. This later turned out to not be true. Details details.
Let's play a little game called "what are the facts", you probably wont like it.

"When George H. W. Bush ordered American forces to the Persian Gulf – to reverse Iraq's August 1990 invasion of Kuwait – part of the administration case was that an Iraqi juggernaut was also threatening to roll into Saudi Arabia.
Citing top-secret satellite images, Pentagon officials estimated in mid–September that up to 250,000 Iraqi troops and 1,500 tanks stood on the border, threatening the key US oil supplier.
But when the St. Petersburg Times in Florida acquired two commercial Soviet satellite images of the same area, taken at the same time, no Iraqi troops were visible near the Saudi border – just empty desert."
The name of the game is we want to invade and will do anything to make sure that occurs
" Shortly before US strikes began in the Gulf War, for example, the St. Petersburg Times asked two experts to examine the satellite images of the Kuwait and Saudi Arabia border area taken in mid-September 1990, a month and a half after the Iraqi invasion. The experts, including a former Defense Intelligence Agency analyst who specialized in desert warfare, pointed out the US build-up – jet fighters standing wing-tip to wing-tip at Saudi bases – but were surprised to see almost no sign of the Iraqis.
"That [Iraqi buildup] was the whole justification for Bush sending troops in there, and it just didn't exist," Ms. Heller says. Three times Heller contacted the office of Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney (now vice president) for evidence refuting the Times photos or analysis – offering to hold the story if proven wrong. "

"More recently, in the fall of 1990, members of Congress and the American public were swayed by the tearful testimony of a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl, known only as Nayirah.
In the girl's testimony before a congressional caucus, well-documented in MacArthur's book "Second Front" and elsewhere, she described how, as a volunteer in a Kuwait maternity ward, she had seen Iraqi troops storm her hospital, steal the incubators, and leave 312 babies "on the cold floor to die."
Seven US Senators later referred to the story during debate; the motion for war passed by just five votes. In the weeks after Nayirah spoke, President Bush senior invoked the incident five times, saying that such "ghastly atrocities" were like "Hitler revisited."
But just weeks before the US bombing campaign began in January, a few press reports began to raise questions about the validity of the incubator tale.
Later, it was learned that Nayirah was in fact the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to Washington and had no connection to the Kuwait hospital.
She had been coached – along with the handful of others who would "corroborate" the story – by senior executives of Hill and Knowlton in Washington, the biggest global PR firm at the time, which had a contract worth more than $10 million with the Kuwaitis to make the case for war.
"We didn't know it wasn't true at the time," Brent Scowcroft, Bush's national security adviser, said of the incubator story in a 1995 interview with the London-based Guardian newspaper. He acknowledged "it was useful in mobilizing public opinion." "
lies lies lies lies
LET'S HAVE A WAR
Fast forward to 2001 and all the technology we have now (not to mention media complicity). Imagine what they're capable of. Imagine the plans the come up with now.
That's the point you seem to be missing.
