How many eyewitnesses said they saw what the investigation said happened?
You don’t know that because your mind is made up (and closed) that the plane was shot down by a missile. You completely exclude any evidence to the contrary.
I have made no claim either way, you have. Prove it, using and including ALL the evidence, ALL eyewitness testimony, ALL testing of materials, months and months of detailed examination.
The theory that it was a MAN PAD launched from a small boat off the NJ shore is much more plausible. Especially since an EL AL flight was scheduled to be in that take off position from JFK and got switched at the last minute.
In addition the voltage of the electrical system of the aircraft is designed not to be able to ignite fuel. Jet fuel does not blow up like gasoline. It has to be under pressure to ignite. Similar to diesel.
The Clinton administration did not want to go to war in the Middle East. Just like Bush and Reagan prior to them. However, after Beirut, the US Cole, Kohbar Towers, the Kenyan Embassy and other terrorist acts it would have put the whole Israeli/PLO Peace process in jeopardy. Clinton would have been forced to act. It also potentially cost him the election. Unlikely, but could have.
