From what was shown on news footage, the parts were blasted with firehoses as they came out of the water and prior to loading on the decks. Many sites have also pointed this out. Don't the ship firehoses use surface water?
yes...they do from what I am told. I wasn't in the navy.
my buds were. I don't know if they were involved with the hosing on the decks. They just said that hosing them down was required.
And let's say that Condi and Bush and the rest of the administration "know" that the official story is a lie, but they can't prove it beyond a reasonable doubt to an unreasonable press corp. On how many Clinton scandals has that scenario been played out? For example, do you believe that Vince Foster committed suicide and/or that he committed suicide in Ft. Marcy park?
You can have it several ways. Maybe Bush believes it. Or perhaps they know report is a lie but the Bush administration can't prove it. We live in a political world. Making such unprovable charges would create a host of enemies out of the people and organizations that signed off on the report, so the administration either quietly investigates or is busy enough with other things to let it go. You have to pick your battles and maybe right now Flt. 800's not the hill they want to die on.
Heck, you can't even get the democrats to admit that they publically stated that they believed that Saddam had WMDs. And look at the heat Bush has taken for the British report on the Niger uranium story that turned out to be true. For that matter, look at how Clinton is dancing around his missed opportunity to take OBL from the Sudanese.
If Bush has this much trouble getting public acknowledgment for these things, do you really expect him to, assuming that he knows but can't prove, publically refute the official story and say that a terrorist missile took out Flt. 800? And why must it be AQ? Was there even knowledge of AQ at that time?
President Bush is not responsible for fixing everything that happened on Clinton's watch. Clinton has spent his entire life covering his tracks and he's still a free man. And let's not forget Sen. Clinton is still at work in high places keeping the bodies buried.
Clinton couldn’t even get a hummer in his own office without the world knowing about.
The National Archives is apparently wide open. The real secret is that our government is largely incompetent at keeping secrets and equally incompetent in finding out those of our enemies.
Bureaucratic incompetence is the real threat to our national security.
It's still too much to believe. Again, you have hundreds, perhaps THOUSANDS of insiders who would have some knowledge and a BIG payday from a book contract and or the Dem smear machine (even if it could be traced back to Clinton, the immediate impact would be "Bush knew"). I'm telling you, there is no way this could stay bottled up. No way, regardless of motives.
To be more clear, the aircraft parts were lifted by cranes out of the water. As the parts were held over the water, they were blasted with firehoses...news footage of several ships doing same.
I can't wait to see him and his lawyer start screaming "entrapment"...that he was TRAPPED by repeated sloppy criminal behavior...
Still peculiar, why hose off a part with seawater when it was already in seawater?
Keep us up on any inside information.
I have no idea what happened to TWA Flight 800, but I am nearly 100% certain of this: the "official" cause of the crash was utter bullsh!t.
Which immediately brings up an inevitable question: Why would anyone in an investigative capacity be interested in providing an erroneous cause of an airline crash?
Understood. I have no problem implicating the Bush administration in a cover-up about Flight 800, since this is apparently what they are doing with regard to the Oklahoma City bombing.
And I've said here on FR many times that IF TWA Flight 800 was shot down, it didn't involve terrorists . . . it was an accidental shoot-down by a naval vessel.
Alert! Now you people who think these conspiracy kooks are "just out for the truth" know where all this is heading.
I think the real question is why people can't accept a real cause as the real cause, and are obsessed with jumping into UFOs and grassy knolls.
So, what does this link between Bill Clinton and Flight 800 have to do with the current John Kerry presidential campaign? Well, perhaps nothing, except that John Kerry also referred to Flight 800 as a terrorist incident in a televised interview.
You also have to figure that multiple references like this to "terrorist incidents" in comments about Flight 800 are more than just a coincidence, right?
You believe whatever you want.
"Put not your trust in princes." -- Psalm 146:3
I've read a fairly credible explanation of what may have happened off the south shore of Long Island that night, and while I have no idea exactly what happened, there's no doubt in my mind that this explanation is more credible than the staged animation that the NTSB and FBI used to illustrate the cause of the crash.
Ask any pilot who saw that "performance" what thay thought of it, and to a person they'll tell you that it was utter bullsh!t.
Big Thanks for the PPPIIINNNGGG.....Bkmrk for later...not enough hours in the day it seems!!
