[edit] This article doesn't seem to be about Operation Ortsac

  • Apart of the first paragraph this article seems to be about Cuban Missile Crisis and not about Operation Ortsac. From the context and from the Cuban Missile Crisis article I understood, that these two were not the same. So I think that all the paragraphs apart of the first one are redundant. This information belongs to Cuban Missile Crisis article (and it is there and better sourced). I am not going to delete them as I would look as a vandal if my only contribution in several months was a huge deletion, but it is my oppinion anyway. --Jan Smolik 21:53, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
  • That was my impresion when I read the article. Mabye Operation Ortsac was the proposed attack on Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis, although the article about the Cuban Missile Crisis says something different about Operation Ortsac. This article also doesn't cite any sources, so I've taged it with a missing references tag. I'll try to look up some info and edit or rewrite this article if neccisary.

[edit] About the name Ortsac

Since it was quite easy to see that Ortsac is Castro spelt backwards, what was the point of naming the operation Ortsac? It would have been the thinnest of veils to try to disguise the aim of the operation - was this obviousness intended? --80.47.203.53 23:07, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Phibriglex?

Looking at List_of_military_operations and [1], it looks like this article refers to 'Operation Phibriglex', conducted in October of 1962... seems like that ought to be mentioned in the article.
