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

  • 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)Reply
  • 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.

About the name Ortsac edit

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)Reply

Phibriglex? edit

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.

Is there any evidence (other than the movie "Thirteen Days") that it was actually dubbed Ortsac? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.233.67.90 (talk) 03:16, 22 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

POV edit

I'm flagging this article with a POV template. The whole article reads to me like someone who was against Ortsac wrote it. This article should be about the operation, not about why it wasn't chosen. 67.149.81.70 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:00, 3 March 2010 (UTC).Reply

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV edit

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
  1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
  2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
  3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 18:54, 29 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Wrong. edit

According to Robert Kennedy, the mission of Operation ORTSAC was to stage an invasion of a desert island and depose the imaginary dictator there, thus frightening Castro, not to actually try to depose Castro. There's a difference. I might be wrong. 68.173.0.226 (talk) 02:13, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
