(55,745 posts)Cuba (and the Soviets) knew when, where, how many etc. were invading. Allen Dulles knew that it the invasion was compromised, but that didn't matter to him. He wanted a fiasco so President Kennedy would be forced into sending in the Navy, Air Force, Army and the Mafia. Dulles was shocked when Kennedy said, "No."
The history wis still covered up. I hope enhanced public scrutiny significantly decreases the treasonous bastards's chances of getting away with treason.
The Cubans knew the time and place of invasion. And the United States knew they knew. Yet, JCS Chairman LEMNITZER and CIA Director DULLES knew Bay of Pigs Op was COMPROMISED, yet told President Kennedy their plan -- developed under Eisenhower and presumably for the Nixon madministration to come -- would work without the United States having to intervene militarily.
So, Castro knew the time and place for the attack. Knowing the plan was the compromised, let alone stupid from a military and political point of view, they failed to inform the President. How is that not treason?
Three MO' bits on JFK and the Bay of Pigs Thing...
Know your BFEE: At every turn, JFK was opposed by War Party
"Wasn't that, like, the Bay of Pigs Thing?"
JFK Would NEVER Have Fallen for Phony INTEL!
If it wasn't for JFK saying, "No," to the warmongering anticommunist paranoid greedheads, it's very possible none of us would be here now.
