I just got done watching the movie "JFK". Although I've seen it before, maybe I didn't pay enough attention to it. What exactly happened? Too many unknowns out there for the theory of Oswald doing it alone. Who else was in on it? I have no answers, but what I can say is that it is very strange. I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on the subject. I'd love to hear from anyone who was actually in Dallas at the time, or in Washington during the time. All theories, opinions, critisisms, and speculations welcome.
When each of gets to the Pearly Gates then we'll know.
I don't believe there was enough sophisticated technology back then for us to ever know. DNA etc.
JMHO again

I don't know but I do think others had to be in on it. My younger brother could talk to you for hours on it. Same with Princess Di there's more to the story.
I do know this much. JFK had just pulled 1,000 troops out of V.N.. and was pulling us out of the war. Less than a week after JFK's death LBJ put 1,000 troops back in the war and really screwed this country up. I truly think he had some backing and inside info on the death of JFK.
I think it was less than 48 hours after his death that he sent troops back in there, and reversed all efforts to get our troops out of there. Also the VP was set to be sworn in within minutes, or less than a few hours, as if it was planned for him to be ready for it. Very suspicious if you ask me.
Most VP's are ready to take over the reins so to speak. It's part of the job.

Of course, but this was ready and set up with all the key people there moments after the assasination. It just so happen that all the key members it takes were together at that exact moment. Rarely if at all are these people all together at the same time, much less on a plane together, minutes after an assasination that has so many people speculating so many details.
The entire JFK scene is strange to me. My husband is a history buff so I hear all about things from pre-Civil war (like American Revolution) until today. He believes that the government was involved with the assasination. Primarly because of the "shady" dealings of JFK. He was supposedly linked to the mob, of course he supposedly had the affair with Marilyn Monroe and the Vietnam war stats mentioned earlier all combined to what my husband feels that was just cause for them to be involved. Well, THEY thought it was just cause, not my husband. He feels that the government "needed" to get him out of the White House but there were no justifiable grounds for impeachment, so that was not even an option. But, you know everyone has a theory. I personally have not formed one because I think in order for us to be able to form solid opinions on it, we would have to have first hand knowledge of the JFK era, and I don't have that.
Take over the reins? Hmpf. I think he yanked the reins away...
I've had this discussion so many times with my friends that they shudder when I bring it up.....as for me, I still think it was Professor Plum in the library with the candlestick.

best answer yet
well, I know this isn't the most popular theory, but I really think he committed suicide.
I know, I know, there's some pretty blatant evidence to the contrary, but I'm sticking with my statement!!!!!!
No, really, it was a conspiracy and we'll likely never know just what happened. However, I think it is pretty safe to say that some aspect of our goverment had some involvement in it.
You know it's bad when even the president isn't safe from our government
I think LBJ could have been involved in the JFK assination, perhaps even heads of the military industrial complex. War can be great for the economy, specifically the ones that make the weapons. Kennedy didnt want involvement in vietnam = that dont make money.
I've heard there is a mafia theory out there. I might have even seen a thing on re: Mafia on the history channel. I know I have seen a show on the history channel where all the people they interviewed give quite a bit of information concluding that there is no way it can be Oswald.
So many ideas/theories surrounding the assisination, I don't think anyone could be sure.

Correct me if I am mistaken but Thirteen Days also provides insight into events which occur before the JFK assisnation.
Thirteen days was about the cuban missle crisis, and a great movie at that. It was super intense, and I still get chills when I think about how close we came to total release.
Yep, the movie was definitely a pressure cooker
Kevin Costner did a great job in that movie as a supporting actor.
