(26,877 posts)Nixon (whose paranoia is legendary) had a much stronger motive to kill JFK than Poppy. Poppy may have had ideological reasons, but Nixon's were personal.
My point is that, while the evidence you present is compelling, it defies logic and it defies other evidence to the contrary.
Of course, I could be off base on this (wouldn't be the first time ), but I've read everything I could about the event, as well as everything I could about the CIA culture (of the 40's thru the 70's), and GHWB just doesn't fit into the assassinations picture.
He rose to power within the CIA at a time when they were being heavily scrutinized by the Church committee and the House Select Committee on Assassinations. I doubt the spooks at Langley would actually put GHWB in charge during this period if he had any real involvement in the Assassination of JFK.
