Nirvana you've deleted my other sources twice now.
Here they are again:
1. "In Haig's presence, Kissinger referred pointedly to military men as "dumb, stupid animals to be used" as pawns for foreign policy. Kissinger often took up a post outside the doorway to Haig's office and dressed him down in front of the secretaries for alleged acts of incompetence with which Haig was not even remotely involved. Once when the Air Force was authorized to resume bombing of North Vietnam, the planes did not fly on certain days because of bad weather. Kissinger assailed Haig. He complained bitterly that the generals had been screamin for the limits to be taken off but that now their pilots were afraid to go up in a little fog. The country needed generals who could win battles, Kissinger said, not good briefers like Haig."
Woodward, Woodward & Carl Bernstein,The Final Days, Chapter 14, p. 194
It's called a book, they don't (all) have links... it has a limited preview on google books, but the page in question isn't on there. They have it
2. http://www.jfklibrary.org/Historical+Resources/Archives/Reference+Desk/Columbia+University+Speech.htm
3. the time article that you didn't cite. because it was misquoted.
Lastly, I want to draw your attention to this. JFK did give that speech, but it wasn't at Columbia University 10 days before he was killed. It was given to a press association at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel New York City, April 27, 1961. - He was assassinated 2 and a half years later on November 22, 1963
Once again, the speech from your source cuts out several minutes and is not cited with the right date.

or here, since you don't trust the government:
http://www.archive.org/details/jfks19610427
The speech was about secret societies and government secrecy, he was promising to have an open administration... which he didn't. It was in response to the failed secret operation "the Bay of Pigs", the Secret Societies were an example of secrecy being frowned upon in the U.S.*

I found it in microfiche at my schools library, and here in MIME:
http://content.ancestry.com/browse/view.aspx?dbid=50001&iid=NEWS-PA-TH_GE_TI.1961_04_27_0023&desc=JFK+April+27,+1961&veil=1&o_xid=18704&o_lid=18704&offerid=0%3a7797%3a0
There are hundreds more, it was in almost every newspaper.
*I cited newspapers to prove what date the speech was made on not to substantiate any of the claims made by JFK, Nirvana, myself, or the press.
Edit: I just realized you need a subscription to see those... well goto the library and look them up on microfilm.
