which was the last thing john kennedy wanted to see. onal wisdom has it that the cia misled kennedy about the essentials of the operation. that they really tricked him into going ahead by misleading him, for example, about the chances of the cuban population rising up against castro. i don't think the cia was totally up front, in fact richard bissell later admitted they sold too hard. i don't believe kennedy was fooled either. i think he knew more or less what he was getting into. he got it into anyway because he didn't know how not to get into it. he painted himself into a corner during the campaign. and by the way, most americans are in that same corner with him. everybody wanted castro gone. well, the operation moved forward almost inexorably. through february and march. and finally in early april, after weeks of hemming and hawing, president kennedy gave it the thumbs up. he still held out the possibility of canceling it but he never did. for reasons i won't mention i don't think there was a good chance that he would have. and so, ba

and thought that he was doing fidel castro a favor by going after john kennedy. so indirectly, yes, i think the bay of pigs definitely leads to the assassination of kennedy. it may have had a more direct link, but that's very difficult, maybe impossible to prove. over here, please. >> what's confusing to me is, if after the first day of the invasion it became very clear that the u.s. was behind it and then if it was known that without the secondary airstrikes on the 17th the invasion was doomed, are you basically saying that because kennedy was afraid of lighting the match against the soviet union that he was willing to sacrifice the 1,400 men for the good of the bigger picture? because -- >> it's a haunting question. >> how you portrayed this, whether we're in favor or not in favor of war or in favor or not in favor of getting rid of castro, by putting the plan in place we had already committed. and anything short of that, though you said there was no guarantee it would work, anything short of that would be a disaster. so it's hard to imagine that 14 lives will b

he knew something was coming and then when john kennedy john kennedy made him an a press conference on april 12th right before the invasion. said that there would be no that should there be a an invasion of cuba there would be no american involvement in it or for castro that said it all clearly. these guys are coming any second now there's there's also you may know a story that somebody leaked to soviet intelligence the fact the actual invasion date. that's probably true. there seems to be a lot of evidence for that. i don't know if it really made much of a difference because castor know anyway castro had been on high alert. all winter all spring he was ready. he didn't sleep. he stayed up all night smoking cigars waiting night after night for this to happen and when it did happen he sprang to action. the only thing he didn't know was where it was going to happen. and once you found that out, he was ready to go. this young woman here i'm the godmother of alan dulles's. grandson and my husband is cuban and when my i found out that my friends last name was actually dulles. and she knew m

he goes to john kennedy. yeah, it's true and he's got the irish moves and i would imagine there is some sympathy there. but there's no way that by and who has a cold warrior from way back is going to go up against our structure. after kennedy, i repeat the military sector on the intelligence sector, iran such and it became clear that you couldn't not get into there. not any was cutting basis defense, spacious and in our country and abroad. it was by their growing troops back from afghanistan. i would like to see by and no further, we have so much and we have a training and all a budget now with the military, basically, and the track. so it's a long way to go. but can he hunch that really in an essential way? that's what kennedy was doing. he was by firing the cia and his 2 age kimbell and bissell. you can't believe the shock waves. he said through washington. here he is the young man, after truman and eyes an hour, the young man, 423 years old. we're starting to change things, the way things were done. he did

john kennedy is a disgrace. the 1st of all that lyndon johnson appointed allen dulles, who was fired by kennedy as a chief for the cia kennedy, vowing to shatter the ca into a 1000 pieces. dallas was put on the board with the warren commission at 7 people in control of a lot of it controlled all the information coming from the cia to the board, making sure that nothing derogatory or anything about assassinations abroad was mentioned to these other commissioners is a big, big difference make you're right there. and top of that, lyndon johnson has to be looked at as part of a cover up. that's not to say he was enrolled the assassination because we can prove that. but linda johnson was about to be fired as vice president, that we know. and he wanted this thing to go away. he didn't, he said, we don't want to war with russia. we don't want to accuse russia that was kind of an excuse to, to a point and a point, the warren commission, they wanted a peaceful transition. that's what they, that was it. miss johnson would
