Several things went wrong; one, I don't believe that the CIA ever told the Brigade that American military would not be used until it was to late. The anti-Castro Cubans were expecting American backing, Dulles did try and push for it, but Kennedy refused.
If this plan was "designed to fail" than you have to blame Eisenhower and Nixon. Do you suppose President Kennedy did get cold feet? Was he afraid of what the Russians would have done? If Kennedy didn't want Castro living next door to him what kept Kennedy from using American military power?
