Answer 1

No

Answer 2

It's a left wing radical blog and typically, what they quote has a thread of truth to it, but is a quote out of context. History, is not a singular event with a begining, middle and an end. It is a full spectrum and should be viewed as such.
Let me tell you about another incident, in the same basic context... Eisenhower and Nixon dreamed up a planned invasion of a burgeoning, sovereign, new nation. They instituted the plan and the CIA began recruiting war "heroes" from both WW II and Korea. These recruits began training their invasion force in the jungles of Nicaragua. Then Eisenhower was voted out of office.
In his stead, was a young, dashingly handsome war veteran with a lovely young wife. The CIA layed at his feet, everything they'd done to date and got his stamp of approval. And then, an Air Force Captain got shot down while on a spying mission over Russia. The president, his brother (the Attorney General), and the Secretary of Defense all began to get cold feet. They thought it through and decided to pull the plug. Trouble was, the only plug they decided to actually pull was the supply line's plug. The invasion went ahead as planned. Some 2,506 men landed on the beach over a four day period and no one bothered to tell them that the mission had been scrubbed. The Navy, in position for the assist, was ordered to stand down and the men on the beach? Captured or killed, mostly the latter. Along with four pilots, the total loss of U.S./Allied life was 2510. The wives, now widows were all given notice that their husbands had died in a "Training" accident and given a monthly check of some $499, until they remarried. Nice eh? The president essentially murdered 2510 men, lied about it and everyone played HIS term as "Camelot." How friggin' romantic. The president could have ordered the invasion force to stand down, but instead, let them charge on ahead, believing the who nation would back them and they'd come home "Heroes." Instead, he cancelled their support and sent them to their deaths, hoping that no one would survive to come back and point an accusing finger. And then the bastar_, got us into Vietnam. Perhaps we should rethink and re-examine the 1960s and Camelot.
