If you ask me, I believe everyone knew about the late arrival of the A-4's including Kennedy. I believe it was planned, and Kennedy did all he could do to support the Brigade with military equipment and training, but in the end, he also wanted the United States to stay out of a domestic fight. Promises were being made by both the CIA and Kennedy. The CIA pretty much assured American backing would be used in the ousting of Fidel Castro, Kennedy approved the Skyhawks aboard the ship Essex, there were impending fleets off the coast of Cuba to make it appear US military would be used, now, can you blame the fighting exiles for believing someone lied to them? Yes, after talking to many of them privately, in an open and honest setting, they have relayed to me that Kennedy had to go for his broken promises and loss of their brothers in arms.
