I said:

Kennedy OK'd the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion.

Based on what his advisers were telling him Kennedy could have decided against carrying out the operation. He was under no orders to insure that Eisenhower's plan be carried through. In the end, as the acting commander and chief, he OK'd the final version of the actual military operation. The operation that failed miserably.
