Lets play a game of guess how many times the CIA failed to kill Fidel .
I am going to so with 1492.
Here is the current estimates.
The Church Committee stated that it substantiated eight attempts by the CIA to assassinate Fidel Castro in 1960–1965. Fabián Escalante, a retired chief of Cuba's counterintelligence, who had been tasked with protecting Castro, estimated the number of assassination schemes or actual attempts by the Central Intelligence Agency to be 638, a project code-named Executive Action, and split them among U.S. administrations as follows:
When you first hear Fabián Escalante's estimate of 638 it sounds absurd and the numbers are probably inflated. Then you look into the ones that have been confirmed by the CIA and you quickly start to think Fabián probably underestimated.

Again trying to poison Fidel. This time with the use of Marita Lorenz. Who hilariously fell in love with him instead.

If they were remotely competent we all would be dead.
