Retired Air Force General Thomas McInerney isn’t backing away from his thriller novel-like suggestion that the missing Malaysian Airlines flight could have very well landed in Pakistan — and he says his theory is based on more than mere conjecture.
“General, I’ve known you a long time, I know you too well to know that you’re not just making this up, this is not something you’ve concocted. You’ve spoken to a number of people, am I correct?” Sean Hannity asked McInerney during Tuesday night’s episode of “Hannity” on Fox News.
“Yes, but that’s all I want to say, Sean, please,” McInerney responded.
McInerney said that while he has reason to believe the plane landed in Pakistan, he has no idea about the fate of the passengers.
“I don’t know anything about their status,” he said.
McInerney pointed to the way the U.S. and Israeli militaries have acted in recent days to suggest that much more is known about the missing flight than has so far been revealed.
“First of all, let me say, when the U.S. Navy quits their search — their ship search — they must know something in the Indian Ocean,” he said. “When the Israeli Defense Forces, when they increase their air defense alert, they must know something.”
“My concern is, if this airplane could be used as a bearer of a weapon of mass destruction or even conventional munitions that could attack a carrier, the Israelis, other allies, American Forces, for instance,” he added. “We have to be very alert until we know exactly where this airplane is.”
McInerney said he believes “both pilots may have been complicit” and that the U.S. knows much more than it is letting on.

His opinion at this point is the same value as any talking head on the boob tube so far.
I agree too - that is, that we know much more than we’re making public. That much makes tactical sense.
The fantasy LOST type thriller that this is, just doesn’t happen. Yes, planes disappear, but they do so with a mayday, some form of trace, not with non-random acts that make them more difficult to find.
The question is, what are we doing about it? I’m trying to see the whole board here.
Until something substantial goes “viral” on the media and net, its all conjecture and opinion.
It could also have landed at the North Pole and is going to be used to pull Santa’s sleigh in place of Rudolph who has sadly passed away :(
Here is the full clip.
Tom is very well informed and has terrific contacts in our military.
But he’s just plain wrong here.
No chance Flight 370 crossed India without detection.
Our radar at Diego Garcia covers well north of the southern tip of India, we would have spotted it.
No chance Flight 370 enters Pakistan’s air space without an intercept, especially from the east, India, that Pakistan is so paranoid about.
We monitor Pakistan’s air space and air traffic communications, we would know.
Israel is taking advantage of Flight 370 to draw attention to themselves.
I have no idea if it is in Pakistan, but I’m pretty sure it landed somewhere on a runway.
“Our radar at Diego Garcia covers well north of the southern tip of India, we would have spotted it”
I think his point was we did see it and do know. I am getting the feeling that some are not happy with our response. This release helps turn the stove up a bit on the appointees in the meetings at CIA and DOD, LOL.
This is what I believe too....though am not married to the idea of Pakistan.
Wherever it is, it can provide a method to transport a nuclear bomb for detonation over America. But here comes the brilliance of this. All of this could be done and the US will not be able to retaliate.
Think about it. Who are we going to retaliate against if lone agents bomb us?
The perfect plan for our enemies.
I believe that's the point he was making. It had been tracked. He also said there will be a statement made within 48 hours? I know that really sounds sensational, but I don't know why he would make all that up if he did.
His opinion at this point is the same value as any talking head on the boob tube so far.

Correct...the good general’s credibility is about to take a nosedive.
How low would they have to fly that plane in order to penetrate our airspace undetected?
I’m starting to believe the General. If it was a suicide mission, would it fly for 7 1/2 hours? If it was a fire on board, would it fly that long and have course corrections as I believe the military satellites have supplied us (according to a couple of articles)? If Boeing and Rolls Royce can remotely turn on the service that Malaysian Airlines had opted out of that would give them a location, (like On-Star), I think they know exactly where it is. That would be the General’s info source. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was in Pakistan, maybe with Iran’s help.Could it have flown over Maldives as some have said and directly to Pakistan and not over India? The target would be Israel. .....Or it’s at the bottom of the Ocean.

Pulau We, Sabang, SBC. An airport. On an Island off the coast of Banda Aceh.
He referenced some other flight number that 370 tracked, therefore making detection very difficult.
Or Israel. Or Europe.
Air defenses can be penetrated; there are none which are bullet proof, as this even showed all too well.
I think General McInerney has been told by credible sources and he may even have been sent out as the first to start preparing the public for the truth.
