Commission Verdict -- "No Credible Evidence Of Conspiracy"

The seven-member "Warren Commission" panel (plus its staff), which was created by President Lyndon Johnson one week after the murder of President John F. Kennedy in late 1963, had an immense and difficult task thrown on its doorstep -- To review, probe, and investigate all aspects of JFK's assassination (plus two other killings as well -- those being the murders of Dallas policeman J.D. Tippit and the accused Presidential assassin himself, Lee Harvey Oswald, the latter being gunned down by Jack Ruby just two days after JFK's death). Many (or even most) people who express an opinion re. the matter seem to be of the belief that the Warren Commission panel did not arrive at anything resembling the 'truth' when it concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby "acted alone" when each of these men committed their respective murders in November of 1963. The conspiracy theorists feel that LBJ formed the "WC" for one express purpose and one only -- to back up and validate (by any means necessary) the pre-determined conclusion that Oswald was the lone killer of President Kennedy. I completely disagree with such skepticism. The "CTer" accusations of "WC" wrong-doing and 'cover-up' in this case are unfounded, IMO. Let's just step back from the 'Conspiracy-filled abyss' for a moment and check out just exactly what the Warren Commission members had staring them in their collective faces when it came to ascertaining the true facts in the JFK assassination -- regarding the much-scoffed-at "Single-Bullet Theory" ("SBT") specifically. ........ 1.) A bullet wound of entrance in JFK's upper back. 2.) A bullet wound of (probable) exit in JFK's throat. 3.) A bullet wound of entrance in Governor Connally's back. 4.) ZERO bullets found in either victim. 5.) NO interior limousine damage where damage WOULD have been had a bullet exited JFK's throat and NOT hit Connally. 6.) One single bullet found at Parkland Hospital (near the Connally stretcher), which was positively proven to have been fired from Oswald's rifle; with this same bullet ('CE399') being scientifically linked to the fragments found in Connally's wrist (to a great degree of certainty that bullet was inside Governor Connally on 11/22/63). 7.) A filmed record of the shooting, via the "Zapruder Film", that (nearly) confirmed a SBT scenario. (Plus, via better-quality versions of the Z-Film in later years, additional validation of the SBT popped up -- the Connally involuntary reactions at Z224-Z228 approx.) ----------- Given the above laundry list of FACTS, I'm just curious to know what other possible conclusion the Warren Commission was supposed to come to regarding the wounding of JFK & JBC on 11-22-63? A "Single Bullet" is the ONLY possible way this shooting (i.e. the non-head wounds) can be reconciled given the above list of known facts in the case. Unless you wish to believe the much more far-fetched idea of a vast 'conspiracy' that conveniently 'took care' of the many 'loose ends' mentioned above.
