A plan that is "Designed to fail" may at any time be revoked, canceled, dismantled, dissolved, everyone from the CIA to the president knew that by canceling the invasion would have been disastrous, therefore, though everyone knew this plan would not work, and several letters by Bowles sent to Rusk warned him about the plan how it would fail. The CIA deemed Bowles who oppose the plan as unloyal to the CIA.
The CIA received their 13 million dollar budget from the presiding president, do you suppose Kennedy knew what the CIA really did with that money? Probably not.
The CIA "deceived" the anti-Castro Cubans in believing American military would be used, the CIA deceived Kennedy in believing the battle would have some success, a year of planning could not be re-worked in time for the landing.
If the plan was truly designed just to fail we have to look at the facts as to why was it designed to fail? The invaders would have no U.S. support, but! We would provide them with planes, ships, ammunition, food, money, etc. etc. etc. But, America would not support them? Bullshit!
The CIA had "deceived" everyone involved in this project including Kennedy. Kennedy faithfully put his trust in the CIA's plans when everyone knew this plan would not work, any plan that is designed to fail is a plan only known by a few that would "deliberately" see it though. That is clearly not the case in the Bay of Pigs.
Everyone but the fighting exiles knew it wouldn't work, no one dared to cancel it. As far as I'm concerned everyone including the fighting exiles were deceived in believing that they could re-take Cuba, and the CIA deceived them all.
