    I agree with Mr. P. The mafia is said to have gotten him elected and then when he turned on them and began to crack down on organized crime...well that wasnt smart if it is true.

    Here's the BANNED History Channel video. Very damning towards LBJ. I always suspected he had a hand in it. Watch it.

    Just like Jesse Jackson had a hand in MLK's death.

    Good try, but... You are so wrong man, it was your third option. Sheesh Why do you think the "Norris" is still around and "kicking?" Huh? He is on to something, I know it. The range of skills is truly mind boggling, I would need a week to walk it through.

    I think there were two shooters and oswald was one and was set up as the patsy. I'm inclined to go with the mafia theory myself.
    The Marines has the same three division. Difference being, Marines are required to qualify with the service weapon at 200, 300, and 500 meters.

    From Oswald's position, and the distance, any Marine who COULDN'T have made the shot should be ashamed of himself.

    Army is the same. I shot expert with the M14 M16 and 45. If he was a sharpshooter he was not that good a shot. But then the media probably got that wrong like everything else they report. Even back then. And then he was out of the marines for how long? I don't recall reading anything about his target practicing or anything and you know to keep that edge you have to get practice in periodically. The knowledge stays with you but your accuracy will suffer.

    I read somewhere that there was more information known on this, but it is sealed until the last of that Kennedy family (That would be Caroline) has passed away.

    Blessed be Your name!

    Sharpshooter in the Marines is no joke. Used to be, on the yard-range (as opposed to metric), 190-209 was Marksman. 210-219 was Sharpshooter. Anything over 220 (out of 250) is Expert. You have to be closer to Expert than bare-minimum to get Sharpshooter.

    None of which really trains an individual to fire a Mannlicher-Carcano bolt-action rifle at a moving target at 200+ ft. He had a 4X scope and fired from a rest at a car moving 11 mph. Not that difficult, IMO.

    They originally sealed the records for 50 years, but changed it about ten years ago. They want everyone involved dead and gone before they open up the real facts.

    I watched this special on the History Channel about a month ago. It pretty-much debunked every conspiracy myth associated with the Kennedy assassination.

    One of the things they said was the cause of the conspiracy theory mentality is that we, as a people, just cannot handle the fact that something so random can actually happen, so we delude ourselves into thinking there has to be "more."

    No amount of evidence, nor lack thereof, is going to change people's minds about it.

    I'm a believer in the lone gunman theory. Lee Harvey Oswald, for whatever reason his warped little mind came up with, popped the President. No REAL evidence supports any other theory, and I HAVE looked at them all.

    Just my opinion, FWIW.

    I can tell its been a while since I've looked at the Marine Corp news. I didn't even know they called it meters instead of yards now. I wouldn't know what a meter was if it jumped out at me anyway. Yes, we had marksman, sharpshooter, and expert. Like you said, we had to qualify at 200, 300, and 500 yards. We shot match at 300, 500, and 1000 yards. I was one of the best in the Corp and range coach was one of my positions, and I have boxes of trophies, but I'm sure not ashamed to say that I couldn't have made those 3 shots he made. Maybe made them, but not accurately.
