The 'Toon had to cover up TWA 800, as if he didn't, Bob Dole would have very likely been elected president. I'm just surprised that so many corrupt federal employees rallied around The 'Toon to allow him to get away with it. I'm sure they were told it was in the interest of national security, but that so many bought into that BS amazes me.
Ridiculed Pierre Salinger too!
BINGO! The American people are but one thing to the clintons and the democrap political machine: cover fodder in votes, a means to take control never to relinquish it again, and that will involve oppression the likes of which America has never seen and from which the Republic will never recover. SinkEmperor ruled with a wet finger in the air; Hatellary shall rule with a bloody fist in the air.
If the downing of TWA 800 had been properly investigated, September 11 may have been prevented.
Can't get there in my thinking. What does the Navy shooting down a civilian jet got to do with terrorism? The solid rocket fuel most likely came from a radar guided missile (center of mass shot) not a heat seeker (engine shot). Terrorists would have used a shoulder launched unit (a man-pad) which are heat seekers. Besides, I think Slick Willie wanted to be a war president and would love to have had a target other than himself to focus on.
Bingo. Absolutely.....not to mention if the Clinton administration had investigated the terrorists who were behind OK City, and had been SERIOUS about the first WTC bombing............but, as everyone now knows, Billy was busy with other pressing matters.
Thank you for your excellent remarks.

She scares me a lot more than he did, in many ways. He's a joy boy, but she's deadly!

That's exactly why the gov. won't reopen the investigation.
This is one of the keys to why I won't be voting GOP anymore. I thought we'd see truth and justice step onto the stage with this admin, but as always, we got a dog and pony show, all dressed up in pretty little catch phrases du jour with just the right facial expressions at just the right time....No substance. No truth. No justice.
The revolution will be televised.
Not this $)(#$%^ again. As soon as someone finds a missile with a smokeless motor and no warhead that is designeed to hit its targets with a perpendicular flightpath I'll consider this something other than Jack Cashill's continued effort to mine cash from a tragedy.
Certainly there are too many unanswered questions regardinfg this. The presensence of a Navy P-3 aircraft and a Coast Guard C-130 aircraft. If one were to read the 2 US News and World Reports on this incident, they would find two completely different accounts of the story. Jim Kalstrom, is person that headed the FBI office and later retired to host a law enforcement show constantly swore that it was an malfunction with TWA 800.

I am confused by your statement and to what $)(#$%^ are your referring. If you are saying this could not have been a shoot down you are sadly mistaken. It appears to be a classic shoot down.
Based on what?
Based on how the aircraft was destroyed. To blame the fuel tank sensor was a rediculous ploy. That sensor has been used in thousands of aircraft prior to and after the incident with no problems what so ever. The eye witness accouts, the photo's, the aircraft flight path and the damage done are all indicative of a shoot down. This may have been something else, but it was not the fuel sensor and it does match a shoot down scenario. Reports also indicate that there was some Navy testing of an anti-aircraft system in the area that night (only reports and no proof on this but it makes me wonder).
What do you have to challenge this theory? I would be interested in hearing.
The Navy wasn't shooting at 800, they were shooting at a smaller light aircraft that was believed to be carying explosives, a plane-bomb if you will. 800 was unintended.
As I stated in post #30, there were 2 different accounts in the magazines. The first magazine had statements from the crew of the C-130 and that they were aware of the P-3 aircraft.
"800 was unintended"
Absolutely. I would agree with you in every way on that statement. I don't blame the Navy, accidents do happen.
I think that a "Harpoon" missile was mentioned.
For the record, I've got 15 years experience flying military fighters, I've been trained in accident investigations, I've witnessed numerous missile tests, been involved in several ordinance tests, been fired on by SAMs, am a certified flight engineer and a commercial pilot.
"How much experience do you have with shoot downs, aircraft mishaps, military ordinance tests, accident investigations or missiles"
I thought I was flushing out a selfrightous pilot. You have 15 years, and I have over 25. Just call me Colonel sonny. You are not the only one with any experience in these matters. I have also talked with s top engineer from Boeing on this subject who agrees with me that the fuel sensor could not have been the issue. As for the C-130 and the P-3 being in the area that means nothing to me as that is a busy area for air traffic.
Now back to my question. Do you have anything of substance to convince me to change my opinion?
Um hmmm. So why not just answer my questions. "How much experience do you have with shoot downs, aircraft mishaps, military ordinance tests, accident investigations or missiles" For all I know, you are an army nurse.
But since I'm just a self righteous pilot, why don't you read the investigation report from Boeing (or ALPA, or TWA). They found no evidence of anything resembling a bomb or missile involved in TWA 800's destruction. But frankly, I don't care whether that changes your opinion or not. If you believe the Navy shot down TWA 800, your opinion isn't worth much consideration.
