I would prefer another explanation for the third bullet. It is very hard to believe that Oswald could have pulled it off – do you all understand how hard it was to make the alleged three shots? Even two would have been hella skillful and lucky too. I don’t think the feat has ever been duplicated. Do correct me if I’m wrong.

I have always favored the Single Nut Theory but I have recently come to appreciate that Alvin York or Carlos Hathcock ain’t in it with what the shooter did or was said to have done. If there was a second shooter I’d think we’d have figured it out by now, X-Files aside.

The only thing I can think of is that if it was a plant, they would have made sure it was a damn good rifle, maybe a nice Swedish Mauser or Enfield (or even simpler a Garand or other semiauto), all tuned up and sighted in. Why a crappy Carcano with a sticky bolt and an off-center scope? Even a Mosin-Nagant would play up the commie angle.

Kinda like if the Bush-Cheney-Wolfowitz axis had lied us into war over WMDs, don’t you think have bloody well FOUND some? I.e., planted them.
