Oswald had help, ex-agent says

Howard Dean: "There is a theory, and it has not been proved, that George W. Bush had a hand in assassinating President Kennedy. Now, the fact that he won't release all of his records is troubling."

[Revolting cat!]

I didn't do it!
Nobody saw me do it!
You can't prove anything!

[Texas Eagle]

Not to be rude, but I didn't see one thing in that report that I haven't heard a thousand times.

[Senator Pardek]

And my personal opinion about Jack Ruby is that he was paid to kill Oswald.

OK - everyone relax. Think about the circumstances of Oswald's murder - how much $$$ would you take to do that, knowing you'd never see a penny?

I've been offered $50,000 to jump into a volcano - wish me luck!

[Diddle E. Squat]

Yeah, that's always been the flaw in that theory, unless Ruby had a wife and kids that would be taken care of if he sacrificed himself to off Oswald(versus the alternative of the mob would knock him off and leave them with debts. 'Offer he can't refuse kinda' stuff.), but I have no idea what his family life was.

[ambrose]

I know. There hasn't been any new news on this story since 1963.

You'll need some of this:

[Diddle E. Squat]

Make that: 'Offer he can't refuse' kinda stuff.

[ambrose]

Actually, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect a short prison sentence or even jury nullification for killing the president's assassin.

[Abcdefg]

Don't do it! It's a trick!

Interesting on how these (tin foil hat on as Im writing)
all these conspiracy theroies get pooh poohed and
the pooh poohers always seem to be of the belief that the
"Government wouldnt lie" obviously they are trained liars.
Police regularly lie to citizens, the pentagon lies steadfastly and daily. Most business people are lying to
everyone around them especially car dealers. Quite frankly that is the hallmark of the wealthy they are great liars.
A pox on them all I say ,burn in hell!

There actually is a theory that George H. W. Bush was involved with the Kennedy assassination, but I've never seen any explanation as to how. Here's a link I just Googled up: Kennedy: The George Bush Connection.*

*I didn't actually bother reading the link past the first paragraph, so can't comment on details.

The shots attributed to Oswald were impossible to make. O'Rourke learned to shoot as a boy and trained as a military marksman. He said his visits to Oswald's perch at the Texas Book Depository have convinced him that no one could have fired a rifle three times so quickly, hitting the president and Texas Gov. John Connolly.

WRONG!
In "Mortal Error" (Menninger) an NRA instructor/sharpshooter/ballistics expert not only repeated, but bettered the performance attributed to Oswald. The subsequent forensic analysis is also quite interesting. The shooter was hired to write a report backing up the Warren commission, but insisted on making an independent study rather than say 'because I could do it then Oswald must have done it'. He puts the 'magic bullet' theory to bed, and concludes, convincingly, that although there may have been only 1 assassin, more than 1 gun was fired. A must read for conspiracy buffs and ballistics/forensics geeks alike.

[Fred Mertz]

"In my opinion, Hoover wanted the commission to find that Oswald acted alone," O'Rourke said.

A retired agent states the obvious. Yes, claptrap, our government lies and most citizens swallow the lies like potato chips.

[BlueNgold]

There is mention in an FBI report that an agent in Dallas passed information to Mr. George Bush of the CIA. The CIA explained this reference as alluding to a file clerk working at Langley at the time. Later interviews revealed that the clerk in question was not a field agent and had never been to Dallas at the time of the assassination. This reference was previously unnoticed and there was no cause for concern until it was brought to light in the 70's during the joint select committee on assassination hearings as GHWB was rising in stature and assuming the directorate of the CIA.

What are you crazy?!
Hold out for $100,000.

[Waco]

It's always been obvious to all but the "experts". When a prez or high profile person in gov't. or politics, the experts WILL NOT buy an "only one" senerio.

OK, I'll bite, and read this one later.
