~~~~~~It probably belongs in the history forum but it should be noted that JFK was responsible for empowering the CIA to such a degree that the Agency reserved the option to raise an army to invade a sovereign country (Cuba). Oswald was a criminal traitor who abandoned his military post and his citizenship and chose Russia. Why the hell he was welcomed back into the U.S. with his KGB bride in the coldest part of the Cold War was never addressed while the Warren Commission focused on the phantoms of the "Grassy Knoll".
Indeed, perhaps you should read some history books.
It was Dulles(CIA) under president Eisenhower that created te scheme, Eisenhower okayed te plan, but te D-Day was postponed. JFK also okayed the invasion, but reneged on the day of te invasion thus cutting off support and creatin the debacle.

The Bay of Pigs Invasion - CIA

Eisenhower authorized the CIA to conduct a covert operation to rid the island of its self-appointed leader. The CIA formulated a plan to recruit Cuban exiles living in the Miami area. It would train and equip the exiles to infiltrate Cuba and start a revolution to ignite an uprising across the island and overthrow Castro.
At least that was the intended outcome.
Top US Government officials watched as their decisions led to an entirely different outcome: one that would leave a covert operation exposed, embarrass the new Kennedy administration, end the career of the longest serving Director of Central Intelligence Allen Dulles, and, ultimately, leave Fidel Castro in power for decades to come.
