He must have given them reason to believe that there would be air support even if that reason were only that he didnt try harder to stop the operation.

Fast forward to MLK and RFK, also assassinated by firearms.

E Howard Hunt pulled the trigger and the reasons for it were complex and mostly still shrouded in secrecy. The one living soul who knows the truth of it all was the man who once owned Zapata Oil. A man named George Herbert Walker Bush.

All we know is, he was hit in the head, the brain is "missing" and the X-ray is foggy

According to the book, the air support was to be withheld unless absolutely necessary as a last result. Kennedy didn't want America overtly involved but appeased the Juggernaut behind it into thinking he would authorize it when the time came. He only went ahead with the whole thing if they agreed that he and he only could authorize that.
What was on his mind is purely conjecture. But it remains that he in fact did not authorize it despite the pressure from the military, the CIA and state department. So that is why I say if that is what he planned it was brilliant. I have no way of knowing, by the way. Just conjecture.
Thats like letting youre girl get all dressed up for the dance and then not picking her up. Its not very brilliant.
I know JFK wasnt a military man so he may not have understood......thats just not something you do to fighting men. As far as JFK wanting it to look like america wasnt involved.....well that ship had already sailed.

It is if you want it to fail, but can't stop it beforehand. Comparing it to a school dance is discrediting the move. Waiting for all the rebels to be on the beach and out of ammo to stop the support is the brilliant part. End of story.
He must have know at any rate that if there were forces in place that would have gone ahead with this move without his ok, then the power structure in this country was already compromised and his life was in danger anyway. He may have thought that no one would dare try to get total revenge.
