@txradioguy @libertybele @corbe @bigheadfred @Quix@Sanguine @Frank Cannon@libertybele shhhhh! It's too late for them to get a refund on their bulk tinfoil purchase. 
@libertybele, please re-read the final paragraph of my previous post.
Then go back and carefully re-read the entire post, including the article that I linked in my post. I think I was being pretty clear, but you seem to have rushed through my post without a serious effort at understanding it.
Maybe you are so interested in defending GHWB's legacy that you
can't grasp my point, but I'll bet others on this thread can.
Again, I am not concluding that GHWB surely was involved in the murder of JFK. But I am convinced that GHWB did lie to the Senate committee in his confirmation hearing a dozen years after the Bay of Pigs debacle. (Should he be condemned for that lie? Probably not. Lying is just what spooks do. And I think he lied because he was scared of having it revealed that he had been with the CIA in the era when Kennedy was murdered.)
Anyway, GHWB was quite evidently associated in some capacity with the CIA for more than two decades (from 1953 on) before he was appointed CIA Director in 1976. The article I linked, but which you evidently didn't read, makes a strong case for that association even
without tying Zapata Offshore to Operation Zapata. But when we look at the Bay of Pigs debacle, we ought to ask ourselves why the CIA's Bay of Pigs invasion project wound up with the name Operation Zapata? I suspect it's because the
main role that the CIA had in the Cuban refugees' military project was that of providing two large, industrial, civilian ships for the assault at the Bay of Pigs. This would readily account for the CIA project being dubbed
Operation Zapata if the CIA had tapped GHWB to provide them from his inventory at Zapata Offshore.
And if GHWB was the former owner of the two ships--and a former Navy man himself--this would explain why a Mr. George Bush personally oversaw the delivery of the ships to Central America. Again, Operation Zapata was all about the
ships that were to be used in the invasion attempt. The fact of the CIA's provision of the ships to the refugees was surely enshrouded in secrecy while it was ongoing, but the CIA had no particular reason
at that time to make the source of the ships a Top Secret matter to hide it from later historians. (My point here is that neither the CIA of the 1960s nor GHWB himself had any inkling that GHWB would ever be nominated as CIA
Director and that GHWB's association with the Bay of Pigs would become a matter of particularly serious
embarrassment to GHWB [especially after the CIA, not necessarily including Bush himself, turned around and murdered JFK.])
If you are completely honest as you re-read and re-think my earlier post, my TBR friend, you should see that this speculative but plausible scenario ain't just a bunch of crazy suspicions from tinfoil hat guys. But you and one or two others on this thread have thus far seemed determined to treat it as such. Please relax.

Finally,
@libertybele, I need to point out that I stipulated in my most recent post that the ships used in Operation Zapata at the Bay of Pigs were not Navy vessels, so your comment that GHWB had been discharged from the Navy years earlier is completely irrelevant. Our USN had
nothing to do with Operation Zapata other than possibly the effort of crewing the two vessels that were being delivered personally by a CIA agent named George Bush to the Cuban refugees in Central America. Please understand that. You have demonstrated to me that you were too agitated, too hurried to grasp what I was saying, plus what I was not saying. Again, please relax. It takes discipline to think through all of this sordid trail of serious suspicions. And you have to be willing to believe that a CIA agent in a situation of potentially serious embarrassment
will lie under oath.Of course, I say GHWB did lie about a very long association with the CIA.; I think his CIA background, likely dating all the way back to his graduation from Yale in 1948, is one of the two main reasons why he got the nomination for CIA Director. (The second reason was the ardent globalism that he tried to merge with his evidently very real but potentially misguided patriotism.)
