Kennedy approved the pre D Day strikes.
The D Day strike was to be launched from the island. See, that is why they had aviation fuel when the attack landed. But since there was no beachhead, there was no D Day strike.
As the attack collapsed, Kennedy OK'd a rolling air cover in order to rescue as many survivors as they could.
What Cabell, Nixon and Burke wanted was to unleash an American amphibious attack on Cuba.
I don't know how to make it any more simple than that.
A rolling air-cover? LOL! Where do you get this stuff? Those A4's were doing fly byes over Cuba [before] the BOP's ever got started, but, you knew that already didn't you Jim?
