The Warren Commission (WC) said Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) shot and killed President John F. Kennedy (JFK), wounded Governor John B. Connally (JBC), and shot and killed Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit (JDT) all by himself with no assistance from anyone. If this is so, how do we explain all the comments made by others that show LHO was a bad shot or others had to be involved then?
************************************
A Marine who served with LHO and saw him shoot was Sherman Cooley and he told researcher Henry Hurt the following in an interview.

If I had to pick one man in the whole United States to shoot me, I'd pick Oswald. I saw the man shoot. There's no way he could have ever learned to shoot well enough to do what they accused him of doing in Dallas. (Henry Hurt, Reasonable Doubt, New York: Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, 1985, p. 99)

This is a pretty damning comment regarding LHO’s shooting capability. Another Marine who served with LHO was Nelson Delgado and he said the following about LHO’s shooting ability.
Mr. LIEBELER - Did you fire with Oswald?
Mr. DELGADO - Right; I was in the same line. By that I mean we were on line together, the same time, but not firing at the same position, but at the same time, and I remember seeing his. It was a pretty big joke, because he got a lot of "Maggie's drawers," you know, a lot of misses, but he didn't give a darn.
Mr. LIEBELER - Missed the target completely?
Mr. DELGADO - He just qualified, that's it. He wasn't as enthusiastic as the rest of us. We all loved--liked, you know, going to the range.
Mr. LIEBELER - You did not tell the FBI that in your opinion Oswald had penciled in his qualifying score, did you? Or did you tell them that?
Mr. DELGADO - He may have done, you know; but if you got away with it you were more than lucky.
Mr. LIEBELER - Did you talk to the FBI about that possibility?
Mr. DELGADO - Yes, I told him he may have, to qualify, because there was a lot of "Maggie's drawers" on his side.
The term “Maggie’s drawers” is slang for the red flag that comes up and waves over a target that is COMPLETELY MISSED by the shooter. LHO had a lot of these so this meant he completely missed the target a lot, and yet, this same shooter was supposed to have completed the greatest shooting feat in U.S. history.
Researcher Henry Hurt would also speak with James Persons who also served with LHO and he said “…that Oswald possessed a lack of coordination that contributed to his being very poor in rifle marksmanship.” (Ibid., caption photograph page 14) Hurt would interview over fifty former Marines who had served with LHO for a book done by Edward J. Epstein (Legend) and here is what he wrote about those interviews.
Quote on
The Warren Commission heard testimony from one former Marine, Nelson Delgado, who stated that Oswald's marksmanship was "a joke," that he could hardly qualify on the range. This was not included in the Warren Report, but Delgado's comments about Oswald's shooting ability may explain why so few Marines were interviewed.
In 1977 the author located and interviewed more than fifty of Oswald's Marine Corps colleagues, who had never been questioned by officials or journalists. On the subject of Oswald's shooting ability, there was virtually no exception to Delgado's opinion that it was laughable.
Many of the Marines mentioned that Oswald had a certain lack of coordination that, they felt, was responsible for the fact that he had difficulty learning to shoot. They believed it was the same deficiency in coordination responsible for his reported inability to drive a car. Repeatedly, as an illustration of his ineptitude, the former Marines harked back to the time Oswald managed to shoot himself in the arm while fooling with an unauthorized pistol he had stashed it in his locker. (Ibid., pp. 99-100)

Clearly no one who served with LHO and saw him fire a rifle thought he was a very good shot, in fact, his shooting ability was called a “joke” by his fellow Marines. This certainly does NOT match the type of shooter the WC claimed LHO was.
Two professional snipers would say they could not do what LHO was claimed to have done. Craig Roberts wrote a book called Kill Zone: A Sniper Looks At Dealey Plaza and here is what he said when he went to the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD) and saw the window LHO supposedly shot from.
Quote on
The impossibility of Oswald's alleged shooting feat was what led former Marine sniper Craig Roberts to reject the lone-gunman theory. Roberts explains as he recounts the first time, he visited the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository:
I turned my attention to the window in the southeast corner--the infamous Sniper's Nest...I immediately felt like I had been hit with a sledgehammer. The word that came to mind at what I saw as I looked down through the window to Elm Street and the kill zone was: IMPOSSIBLE!
I knew instantly that Oswald could not have done it...The reason I knew that Oswald could not have done it, was that *I* could not have done it. (KILL ZONE: A SNIPER LOOKS AT DEALEY PLAZA, p. 5)
Retired Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock is likewise skeptical of Oswald's alleged shooting feat. Hathcock is a former senior instructor at the U. S. Marine Corps Sniper Instruction School at Quantico, Virginia. He has been described as the most famous American military sniper in history. In Vietnam he was credited with 93 confirmed kills. He now conducts police SWAT team sniper schools across the country. Craig Roberts asked Hathcock about the marksmanship feat attributed to Oswald by the Warren Commission. Hathcock answered that he did not believe Oswald could have done what the Commission said he did. Added Hathcock,
Let me tell you what we did at Quantico. We reconstructed the whole thing: the angle, the range, the moving target, the time limit, the obstacles, everything. I don't know how many times we tried it, but we couldn't duplicate what the Warren Commission said Oswald did. (KILL ZONE, pp. 89-90)

Clearly, if the some of the best snipers in the world could NOT match the supposed shooting feat allegedly accomplished on November 22, 1963, how could a poor shooter who had either very little or NO experience with a bolt-action rifle? Clearly LHO could NOT shoot JFK and JBC all by himself since he was a very bad shot and the alleged murder weapon was NOT a very good rifle for accuracy.
In 1964 General Edwin Walker gave an interview with Jim Marrs and he said the following in it.
Quote on
…The Warren Commission Report was ridiculous and a sham as well as an insult to the public’s intelligence. Rubenstein (Jack Ruby) KNEW Oswald; Oswald KNEW Rubenstein. The report would have to start all over on this basic fact.
Quote off
Clearly LHO had ties to many people and many of those people had ties to intelligence in some manner. How would a “loner” establish all these connections? Another person with ties to the CIA, former Nazi SS officer Helmut Striekher, was on assignment for the CIA in late 1963 in Africa when he was quoted as saying the following regarding the killing of JFK.
Quote on
One of the worst-kept secrets in the [CIA], is the truth about the president’s murder. It wasn’t Castro or the Russians. The men who killed Mr. Kennedy were CIA contract agents. John Kennedy’s murder was a two-part conspiracy murder. One was the action end with the killers; the other was the deeper part, the acceptance and protection of that murder by the intelligence apparatus that controls the way the world operates. It had to happen. The man was too independent for his own good. (Helmet Streikher late 1963)

Streikher was a man with inside knowledge as he had worked with Reinhard Gehlen and Otto Skorzeny during World War II in intelligence work. Giving credence to Streikher’s comments are the numerous examples of foreknowledge I have shown you in this series already. IF LHO was a loner as claimed and did not seek the help of anyone, how did all these people seem to have foreknowledge of the fate of JFK?
What do we make of Senator Richard Russell’s comments since he was a WC member? This is from an earlier post in this series.
Quote on
In a 1970 television interview Sen. Russell said, "I have never believed that Oswald planned that altogether by himself.... have doubts that he planned it all by himself. I think someone else worked with him." Sen. Russell had much experience with the intelligence community as he was the chair of a Senate subcommittee on CIA oversight. As Russell biographer Gilbert C. Fite has written, Russell might have "possessed secret information others did not have, [and] he may have had reason to suspect some kind of conspiracy. Whatever he knew, if anything, he carried to the grave."
As mentioned earlier, Russell adamantly opposed the Single Bullet Theory. Russell expressed his vehement disagreement with the single bullet theory in a proposed dissenting statement dictated on Sept. 16, 1964; he argued against the theory at the final meeting of the Commission on Sept. 18, 1964 (although the doctored transcript of this meeting contains no reference to Russell's arguments), and then criticized the single bullet theory again that very day in a telephone conversation with LBJ; and he emphatically rejected the theory in interviews with the press in 1966 and 1970.
The two principal reasons Russell rejected the single bullet theory: (1) Connally's WC testimony, in which Connally absolutely, positively, and unequivocally asserted that before he was hit he heard a previous shot that struck JFK ("It's a certainty. I'll never change my mind"), and (2) Russell's own examination of the Zapruder film. (Two others from the seven members of Commission shared Russell's doubts about the single bullet theory; thus, nearly half the Commission questioned the theory.) These same reasons have been mentioned for nearly 50 years in regards to why the SBT is not considered valid by researchers. Unfortunately for us, Sen. Russell never seemed to grasp the significance of his statements regarding the SBT.

These are huge comments from a man who was in the position to know as he chaired the subcommittee on CIA oversight and was a WC member. His knowledge obviously came from outside the WC for the most part since he attended the WC sessions the least. He did NOT believe LHO planned this all by himself and he did NOT buy the Single Bullet Theory (SBT) which was the cornerstone of the whole conclusion by the WC. This would lead him to say this to researcher Harold Weisberg.

We have NOT been told the truth about Lee Harvey Oswald by federal agencies.

What did some other WC members have to say?
Quote on
The commissioners themselves regarded their commitment to the investigation as a PART-TIME responsibility…There was neither the time nor the POLITICAL will to conduct a thorough investigation. (Kai Bird, The Chairman—John J. McCloy: The Making of the American Establishment, pp. 549-50) (Emphasis added)

Oh great, the men tasked with finding out the truth concerning the murder of our president considered their work to be a “part-time responsibility” and that many of them did NOT have the “political will” to conduct a thorough investigation! This sure makes you feel good about their conclusion, huh? NOT! McCloy would also say this in the Executive Session of the WC on December 5, 1963.

I have a feeling we have another obligation than the mere evaluation of the reports of agencies, many of which as you suggested, or some of them at least, maybe interested, MAY BE INVOLVED. There is a potential CULPIBILITY on the part of the Secret Service and even the F.B.I., and these reports, after all, human nature being what it is, may have some SELF-SERVING aspects in them. And I think if we DIDN’T have the right to SUBPEONA documents, the right to subpoena witnesses if we needed them, that this Commission’s general standing might be somewhat IMPAIRED…. (WC Executive Session, December 5, 1963, p. 37)

Well said Mr. McCloy, but the WC wound up relying on the reports and conclusions of those agencies that “may have been involved” and who had a “self-serving” goal in misleading the WC. Why is that? Another WC member, Gerald Ford, said this about the WC’s investigation.
Quote on
I think you’d have to read very carefully what the Warren Commission said, and I as a member of the Warren Commission helped to participate in the drafting of the language…We said that the Commission had found no evidence of a conspiracy, foreign or domestic…But the Commission was right when it made its determinations and it was accurate at least to this point and I want to reemphasize that as to the evidence that we saw.
Quote off
Gerald Ford admitted what we have seen in this series repeatedly, that they based their conclusion on the evidence THEY SAW while they IGNORED a ton of evidence and leads they did NOT want to see. How can you be sure they reached the correct conclusion when they ONLY saw what they WANTED to see? I have no idea, but there are many out there who have NO problem with this selective viewing of the evidence.
Senator John Cooper told researcher Edward J. Epstein the following.
Quote on
I, too, OBJECTED to such a conclusion; there was NO evidence to show both men were hit by the SAME BULLET…(Emphasis added)

This shows the WC reached conclusions there was NO evidence for! In other words, they just made stuff up! A third member of the WC agreed with their conclusion regarding the SBT as Representative Hale Boggs also told researcher Epstein the following:
Quote on
I had strong DOUBTS about it (SBT)…I feel the question was never resolved.

A member of the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), Senator Richard Schweiker, said this about the WC’s conclusion.
Quote on
I think the Warren Commission has in fact collapsed like a house of cards. And I believe the Warren Commission was set-up to feed pabulum to the American people for reasons not yet known, and that one of the biggest cover-ups in the history of our country occurred at that time. – Senator Richard Schweiker (PA) as quoted in Conspiracy by Anthony Summers, pp. 295-296)

This sums up the WC’s conclusion perfectly, and thus, this is why they are sunk at every turn and in this post yet again!
