This doesn't add up. The evidence at Dealey Plaza collected immediately after the crime indicates that there were probably three marksmen. Oswald may have been involved in the plot, but he couldn't shoot straight.

I still think it was LBJ and Hoover.

The speculation immediately after the assassination may have pointede in the direction of three assassins, but the speculation on 9/11 was that the State Department had been blown up. News last night was that 12 men trapped in a mine had survived. News during an event or in the immediate aftermath is rarely reliable.

I think that it was the CIA!!!!!!!

Bareback mounting, starring Lyndon and J.Edgar. Good movie plot.

[DannyTN]

It was Arkancide.

[RedStateRocker]

Oswald was in the Marines, I damn well bet he culd shoot straight.

[pankot]

Ha! You figured out what most have overlooked. Why else have so many documents and evidence remained sealed?

[pepperdog]

I have never believed it was Oswald. And I surely don't believe it was Oswald at the direction of that tiny dictator Castro.

Oswald traveled the world, that takes money. He was seen in numerous questionable locations that scream classified government involvement. I do think he was the scapegoat, but I also think he pretty much knew he would be. Why didn't he get out? Probably to protect his family. There is a lot more to the Kennedy assassination than a disgruntled Marine with an old rifle.

If one considers the complete breakdown of organization and communications in the Branch Davidian episode and the follow on cover up I think one can begin to get an idea of how a government operation can get out of hand and end in disaster. JMHO.

I think it was LBJ too. If you have read the 3 books by Robert Caro (I think) on LBJ you can see how driven and obsessed he was. He would stop at nothing to be president and taking out President Kennedy was the only way he was going to get there.

No it doesn't.

Oh yeah?

He [Oswald] was also trained in the use of the M1 rifle (2). On December 21, 1956, after three weeks of training, he shot 212, two points over the score required for a "sharpshooter" qualification, the second highest in the Marine Corps (3). Such a score indicated that from a standing position, he could hit a ten-inch bulls-eye, from a minimum of 200 yards, eight times out of ten (4).

[...] Those in charge of the marksmanship branch who were familiar with Oswald's record praised his ability and said he was easily capable of carrying out the JFK assassination. It "was an easy shot for a man with the equipment he had and his ability," said Sgt. [James] Zahm [the NCO in charge of the marksmanship training unit]. Major Eugene Anderson, of the marskmanship branch, said the assassination shots "were not particularly difficult" and that, based on his Marine record, "Oswald had full capabilities to make this shot."

I agree with this view. Oswald could not hit water if he fell out of a boat.
