The Iranians certainly had a motive, but the story seems somewhat implausible to me.
A President faced with a foreign attack could wrap himself in the flag and easily win reelection, which was all Clinton cared about. And could a small boat of Iranian agents fire a missile and be unseen by all the nearby US Navy ships?
An ordinary accident wouldn’t have produced the White House panic with immediate FBI & CIA involvement that we saw.
A US Navy training accident just before an election is quite consistent with what we saw. But I must admit that your explanation is still more plausible than any ordinary accident.
There are people here in this thread who said they were there and that they saw the missile.
Navy personnel will not say what they are ordered not to say.
An ordinary accident wouldn’t have produced the White House panic with immediate FBI & CIA involvement that we saw.
Exactly.
But I must admit that your explanation is still more plausible than any ordinary accident.
I have the advantage of getting my information from someone who was absolutely in a position to know, but I can neither divulge a name nor the nature of the evidence I was informed of.
I am just relating the information I was told without saying anything that I think could be tracked back to a specific person.
I am told the Europeans were involved, and that France in particular was absolutely adamant about the US not going to war with Iran over this incident. Both the Europeans and the US government were absolutely terrified about the ramifications for the commercial air travel industry if the truth got out. They believed it would destroy air travel. Also, Iran controlled a lot of European oil. A war would devastate their economies.
But if the public found out that Iran was behind it, do you suppose there would be any way to stop the nation from going to war with Iran?
If Clinton tried, he would be swatted down like a bug. He would absolutely lose the election. The only thing he could do is what he does best. Lie. Hence the made up bullsh*t about the center fuel tank.
The rogue mercenaries were supposedly executed by the Iranian government.
