Quote:Could be that the Military - with Harriman and Bundy - made sure the CIA failed
Not exactly a plan designed by the CIA to fail when nothing is going right for you.
Quote:Scott... how about posting what you believe the BoP plans was DESIGNED to accomplish...
Mr. Josephs has eloquently answered it for me, he said,
Quote:The intelligence indicated that there were quite a number of people
that were ready to join in the fight against Castro
But, what seems to be over looked by the intelligence community and the lack of reporting thereof is how Castro had many of his own spies working inside Cuba dismantling those who already opposed him. Those men were either lined up against the firing wall, thrown in prison or exiled from Cuba.
Many members of the November 30th who were capable of heading up a revolt and knew Castro well where no longer in Cuba to help in a successful revolution or lead in the BOP. [size=12]Frank Pais, Otto Parellada, Tony Aloma, Jorge Sotus just to name a few. Castro would make sure he secured his rightful place in history and he did, nor would Castro ever give up his position.
The CIA (underestimated) Castro's abilities.
But, I tell you the truth, the Bay of Pigs operations was never, ever "designed by the CIA to fail", that is not true.
