Reply to comment by Peter_deT in When it comes to Cuba's military victory at the Bay of Pigs, does Che Guevara deserve any credit or should it be assigned exclusively to Castro's leadership? by Anglicanpolitics123
And the whole plan was just a fuck up from the beginning.
It was all planned for a different location, then changed last minute without adjusting anything.
Dulles even mentioned privately afterward that he always knew that the invasion would very likely require US air or naval fire support but just assumed that when things were going down, Kennedy would agree. Kennedy did not agree to intervene militarily though.
More than anything, this is on Allen Dulles.
