If it was shot down by terrorists how come nobody claimed the action? This would have been the first and only time a commercial jet was shot out of the sky and the organization that was responsible suffers lockjaw for 17 years?

It was shot down by rogue elements of the Iranian government. Apparently some prominent members of a powerful Iranian family were on board Iran Air 655. They wanted revenge, and used their pull in the Iranian government to get the missiles. To acknowledge the truth would have put Bill Clinton in a position he did not want to be in.

And this Iranian family/ Bill Clinton secret survived 17 years? I am sorry but this story just does not get past my BS meter.
