The ‘Bay Of Pigs’ was a failed landing operation on the southwestern coast of Cuba in 1961 by Cuban exiles who opposed Fidel Castro’s Cuban Revolution. Covertly financed and directed by the U.S. government, the operation took place at the height of the Cold War, and its failure led to major shifts in international relations between Cuba, the United States, and the Soviet Union. The massive failure haunted former President John F. Kennedy and Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta says this is Biden’s “Bay Of Pigs”.
During an interview on Fox, Panetta said that the only difference is that JFK admitted he failed.
“In many ways, I think of John Kennedy and the Bay of Pigs, you know?” Panetta said. “It unfolded quickly and the president thought that everything would be fine and that was not the case. But President Kennedy took responsibility for what took place. I strongly recommend to President Biden that he take responsibility and admit the mistakes that were made.”
Biden, of course, has not accepted responsibility and will not likely face the fact that he abandoned US allies and Americans in Afghanistan. Panetta said that the US has to keep pushing through now that Biden has destabilized the entire situation.
The White House has played this weird role of blaming intelligence and former president Trump while simultaneously saying that everything went as planned. Meanwhile, Biden humiliated the US, globally speaking, and emboldened US adversaries who will likely use this as anti-American propiganda.
