Great Clarke / 800 thread! I did miss it.
I missed that one too.
I had heard the 'not a stinger' argument from a lot of folks, 'due to altitude' at the time...
My thinking was, with so many people seeing evidence of a missile, why couldn't it have been a larger aa missile, perhaps launched from a hostile submarine?
It appears from the review in that linked article, that the altitude of TWA-800, however, was NOT as high in the sky as Clarke indicated... and within reach of a simple shoulder fired stinger/rowboat combo.
Clark's assertion that Clinton was ready to go to war with Iran if it turned out to be their attack that brought the plane down... seems a little out of character. The only thing HE would go to war over, was if somebody tried to put a real separation between Clinton, the interns and the mcdonald's cheesburgers.
(btw:Did the Iranians have subs then, or now?)
