Scott, if you want to keep throwing stuff up on the wall, then that is your choice.
But the CIA itself in its own March 15th memo admit that they looked at Playa Giron because of its air strip capability, and the air operations would be launched from there after a beachhead was attained. That is their words.
When Stevenson and Rusk talked to JFK about the CIA's request to launch a second strike from Nicaragua, Kennedy specifically said that he had not signed onto that. He wanted the second strike to come from on the island.
As I said, its your choice to keep up this unannotated diatribe. But in practical terms, to put it mildly, it does not advance your credibility.
