Despite Johnson's corruption, I doubt if anyone but Lee Harvey Oswald had
anything to do with Kennedy's assassination. If you listen to all the
conspiracy theories, it is hard to believe that there was anyone in Dallas
on that day who didn't want to kill Kennedy. Mafia gunmen on the grassy
knoll, CIA snipers on the overpass, Cubans in the sewers, Johnson hitmen
everywhere -- indeed, you begin to wonder if there was anybody who was not
in Dallas on that day. And they all wanted to kill Kennedy or, in the more
bizarre theories, Connelly or Jackie.

Oswald was disaffected, had threatened to assassinate other people, left his
palm print on the rifle that killed Kennedy, and was a loner. He didn't need
anyone else to tell him to shoot Kennedy.

Wanting to kill JFK and the ability to pull off the the feat of marksmanship
that was performed that day are two whole and separate issues.


Oswald was disaffected, had threatened to assassinate other people, left
his
palm print on the rifle that killed Kennedy, and was a loner. He didn't
need
anyone else to tell him to shoot Kennedy.

And in the Marines he could barely shoot "Marksman". The shots that killed
Kennedy would put the finest sharpshooters in the country to shame.

Again, _wanting_ to do something and actually _performing the act_ are two
different things.
