Media squashed the "confessions".

You think the media would "report" anything that would HURT Bill Clintoon?

They were probably busy looking for a way to blame Rush Limbaugh...

I agree...that photo taken at the toll booth shows a PUFF of smoke...I think another shoe bomber (or whatever) was successful...

I also believe the Eqypt air...remember a rag head supossedly took it down and his family was APPALLED when it was suggested he commited suicide?

And the plane in Canada...

I have found many large aircraft "accidents" in the northeast VERY suspicious especially during the Clintoon years.

OUTSTANDING BOOK. I love the part when he interviews the navy pilot witness and asks him if he is sure it was a missle he saw; and the pilot points his thumb up and says: "this way is up, right?"

If you believe for one second that TWA 800 actually exploded on it's own, then you need this office much more than he does. Center fuel tank my ass. No cover-up here. We know, because Clintoon never lied about anything!

Aviation jet fuel isn't nearly as flammable as auto gasoline. With the combination of little fuel in the tank and the 13,000 foot thinner air, it is difficult to get the fuel/air mixture to explode.

THANK YOU!

I got flamed repeatedly for point this out back when this was a hot topic......

New, this would make a great thread. You're right. All we ever hear is how "wonderfully calm and peaceful" it was on Bill Clitoris's watch. We should start a thread listing every single event and subsequent cover-up that went on. Could be useful against Hitlery!

You make good points.

First as why a terrorist would not take credit?

Remember Libyan agents placed a bomb aboard a Pan Am flight, though neither Libya or any terror organization claimed credit. Qaddafi Duck wanted to settle a score with the U.S. for the raid on Tripoli. The Iranians felt they had a score to settle due to the Vincennes incident, and Saddam certainly nursed a grudge going back to th first Gulf War. (Note, he tried to kill President Bush in 1993.) So this point is not convincing.

Why weren't there more such attacks, why did they stop?

If it was the Iranians they might have considered the score settled, one for one. If it was Saddam, he may not have wanted to press his luck, having avoided detection once. If it came out that someone was taking potshots at U.S. aviation, there would have been an outcry for retaliation and prevention comparable to the reaction to 9/11. With elections looming in 1996, Clinton would have felt compelled to act.

The conclusion of the investion is far too convienent for Clinton and his cronies, for whom absolutley everything was viewed through the prism of national politics, for whom there is no principle except getting elected

So, If the jet exploded on it's own, why were 747s allowed to continue flying after this?

Did Boeing agree with the findings?

Two long-time friends witnessed the event from the beach at Smith's Point. Both saw the missile trail ascending and then the explosion. One is retired NYPD. I have no doubt about what happened...a shoulder fired missile from a small boat off shore.

Ask the same question about the Airbus after the flight to the DR exploded over Queens on take off in late 2001.

It's funny to hear Clinton complain that if he had only knew this or that he would have done something. He had so many opportunities to lead this country to defeat, or at least combat terrorism, that it is comical. I remember the left lamenting how they wished 911 would have happened on his watch so he could have been great. Well Bill, you had the chance but you were too busy trying to pretend you were great to actually be great...and image only lasts as long as the truth doesn't come out.

Bill's term in office and his precious legacy will continue to deteriote and make Jimma carter look like a competent pro.

I believe TWA 800 exploded on its own because my mind is being controlled by those black helicopters hovering above my house. Oh wait! Nevermind, that's a ceiling fan.

Great point. The plane would have been topped off with fuel.

With the combination of little fuel in the tank and the 13,000 foot thinner air, it is difficult to get the fuel/air mixture to explode.

That's true, but the tanks would be pressurized to some extent, otherwise the more volatile compounds in the fuel would boil off into the atmosphere, leaving behind a more 'sludgy' fuel mixture.

Think of the gasoline you keep on hand for your lawn mower. It's in a closed container, and after a few minutes, or hours depending on the temperatures, it has a pressure built up.

That said, I've believed it was a missle from the very beginning. I just never knew about the Gorelic involvment in the cover-up. Those people were hip deep in things during the whole eigth years.

"Nobody, as far as I know, ever claimed credit for shooting down an American airliner. From a terrorist's viewpoint, what is the point of successfully pulling off the most spectacular terror attack in history (till then) if people generally think it was an accident?"

One answer is that they took out the wrong plane. An El-Al 747 (bound for Israel I think) identical to the TWA was supposed to be taking off of that runway at that time, but the schedule had been bumped a few minutes. If they were after the dirty Jewish infidels and accidentally killed a few hundred Americans, they might not celebrate so loudly.

"Good points...I was wondering the same things."

A potential answer in post #59
