I will not let [President Bush] off the hook throughout this campaign with respect to America's credibility," said John Kerry last June in New Hampshire, a theme he has repeated over and over.
Now that the "big mo" in the Democratic primary has clearly shifted to the Massachusetts Senator, it is time for his opponents and the media to start asking about Kerry's own credibility on the question of intelligence. A good place to start is with the fate of TWA Flight 800, the plane that was alleged to have self-destructed off the coast of Long Island in 1996 with 230 good souls on board.
On Sept. 11, 2001, as reported earlier, Sen. Kerry appeared on the Larry King Show. Kerry's honest admission to King bears scrutiny:
We have always known this could happen. We've warned about it. We've talked about it. I regret to say, as I served on the Intelligence Committee up until last year. I can remember after the bombings of the embassies, after TWA 800, we went through this flurry of activity, talking about it, but not really doing [sic] hard work of responding. If Kerry talked about the fate of TWA Flight 800 before September 11, he does not seem to have done so at the time of its destruction. However, his colleague on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Republican Orrin Hatch of Utah, did go public with his concerns.
Hatch spoke with CNN on July 19, 1996, two days after the crash. He admitted to having "various conversations" with government officials.
"I won't go so far as to say it was terrorism, but there was sabotage here," said Hatch. "We're looking at a criminal act. We're looking at somebody who either put a bomb on it or shot a missile, a surface-to-air missile."

After all, he was on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Turn up the heat! Add some salt, some pepper, some truth serum, and onions... What comes out? Pickled Kerry stew a la escargot. ;-)
Yeah, I know... that dish doesn't make any sense, but neither does Kerry.
Says it all. Kerry considered Flight 800 terrorism.
Someone ask him about it. Yeh, I'll just wait. Ask him who killed the first J.F.K. while you're at it!
We couldn't get it right, we couldn't see the light ...........
Any hotter and Kerry will be Burnt French Toast.
Didn't Little Georgie Stuffin'envelopes also make a *slip* on TV and say that TWA 800 was a terrorist event, or something to that effect?
On www.twa800.com's website, I remember seeing a wreckage pic of a main beam blown inward, from the 'initiating event', not the CWT explosion. The official FBI-NTSB story was/is a steaming load of BS.
No spark ignited that av fuel; TWA 800 was shot/blown down.
Maybe someday, they'll tell us the truth about it and a lot of other things...
Here's some interesting reading. The plot thickens!

You never know, the truth seems to on a rampage and the government, like the MSM, is starting to look like a deer on the tracks before the Truth Train! Time to dig further into Flt 800, the Oklahoma City bombers, etc, etc,.
You are sooooooo right!
i'd rather eat sour krout cover with hearshys chocolate.
The American Public deserves an answer. J.F'Kerry said it twice, everyone should E-mail their support to Jack on this good article and his pursuit of what really happened to TWA 800.
PING
More than likely Kerry will not talk about what he does know.
And if he does talk, it's because someone has enough dirt on him to use as leverage.
There were over 700 eye witnesses to a missle striking this plane!

Hey A-G, was that thread ever broken into two or more pieces?
An open letter to Chris Matthews (on Gore's Achilles' Heel - TWA 800)
That's redundant. It means the same thing as "pickled slug stew a la slug."
