The Bay of Pigs invasion was an attempt by the CIA, that was approved by me to overthrow Cuban communist leader Fidel Castro. It was a very bad attempt, with bad planning on my part and no air support. The attempt was launched three months after I was in office and included 1,500 CIA trained Cuban exiles and two CIA agents that landed in Cuba and after 3 days was destroyed and captured by an opposing force of approximately 234,000 cubans. It increased tensions between Cuba and the U.S. and was one of the few bad decisions I made in office.
