Quote: But, I tell you the truth, the Bay of Pigs operations was never, ever "designed by the CIA to fail", that is not true.
If the CIA knew that anti-Castro forces were NOT going to help out, the US Military was NOT going to help unless JFK ordered it at the last minute *which he was repeatedly told by JFK that would NOt happen) and that the existing forces were NOT trained to go guerilla....
yet the DCI of the CIA continues to sell the design of the plan along those lines...
1) Cubans will rise up... nope
2) JFK will step in... nope
3) Forces would go guerilla and hang on (for what exactly?)... 1500 against 30,000 with how many miles to guerilla their way across, completely untrained?
Scott - What part of the plan appears to you to be designed to succeed?
