Operation Zapata
Operation Zapata, or invasion in the Bay of Pigs, was authentic by the CIA as a way to replace Castro s government by non-communist government friendly to the USA. The initial plan of the operation was rewrite greatly Kennedy thought the plan exposed the role of the United States also openly (Sierra, J. A. , 2008). Revised operation had little chances to succeed (Sierra, J. A. , 2008), and several study failures occurred during performance of the invasion (The Bay of Pigs, n. d. ), resulting in failed operation and imprisonment of most all CIA-trained invading troops.Initial plan was well thought out and had much more chances to succeed, but interference from the new President and his advisors made this insufferable to perform and underlined dependence of intelligence agency, its activities and plans from external decisions. Cuban missile crisis was a logical consequence of failed operation Zapata. Castro feared of military interventions from the USA and decided to equal for placement of Soviet intermediate-range thermonuclear missiles in Cuba (An Overview of the Crisis, n. d. ) in exchange for reading and funding of Cuban army. This activity soon was discovered by CIA (Simkin J., n. d. ). Kennedy tell a naval blockade of Cuba and demanded USSR to remove all missile bases and their meat (Goldman, J. , 1997), and the crisis was launched. Due to efficient performance of intelligence agency critical cultivation about potential enemy activity was obtained beforehand and actions that ensured national protective cover were taken in time. If operation Zapata would be successful, Cuba would have been ruled by the non-antagonist government and USSR would have received no possibilities for the placement of nuclear missiles so close to the US territory.If intelligence had failed to discover Soviet activity on the Cuba, national security would have been endangered greatly because of Soviet nuclear missiles placed so close to the national borders. Both of the se examples show how of import is effective and unhindered performance of intelligence divisions to the national interests, for intelligence prove critical role in both of accidents mentioned. 1.
