I have just learned that a spot has been chosen to invade. The place is called La Batalla de Girón or the Bay of Pigs translated from Spanish to English. The bay is located on the Southwestern end of the island. The mouth is a prominent feature and goes about You can see an image of where the Bay of Pigs is located in relation to the rest of Cuba below.
The Bay of Pigs should be a good spot for the invasion force to start. There are a lot of small towns located around this bay. When news of the invasion spreads, we are hoping that anti- Castro Cubans pick up their arms to help the troops to overthrow the government and restore balance to Cuba. Because of Cuba's proximity to the United States, we believe that Cuba is an important part of guaranteeing that our citizens remain safe and out of harm's way. If the invasion is successful, we will be able to place a competent leader into their government. We need to stop Communism and the spread of Soviet influence. This invasion could either be a precursor to war, or a giant step in avoiding one completely.
