BUMP!
Here is yesterdays thread on the 'Bottle Rocket' attack on the LAX jet: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1529700/posts
I believe these are relevant, with credit to Quilla, reply number 32 on the above thread:
"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." -- John Kerry, Sept. 11, 2001
"You know, we've had terrorism for a long time now. We've had the Achille Lauro, the Munich Olympics, the pipe bomb at the Olympics in Atlanta, the TWA 800, the bombing of embassies, and it's not going to disappear overnight." -- John Kerry, Sept. 24, 2001
"In my time at the White House (the situation room) was used in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, in the aftermath of the TWA Flight 800 bombing, and that would be the way they would stay in contact through the afternoon." -- George Stephanopoulos, Sept. 11, 2001
Flight 800 Bump!
Ditto!
Thanks for the info. I ran across this article while doing some snooping around for more information re the "bottle rocket attack" thread. Curiouser and curiousr...
bflr & ping.
Would whoever added the keyword "WASTEOFTIMEANDMONEY" please explain themselves. Discussion is a good thing.
bump ... nice catch.
Volley Bump
OK, I've thought all along that this was a bunch of consipracy theorists run amok.
But, with "20 pieces of 0.2-inch-diameter-round shrapnel had been removed from at least one of the victims' bodies",
enhanced by their inability to allocate a source, I want some more answers!
Flt. 800 ping
I see your bump and raise you a...bump.
I have harbored a good deal of skepticism about all of these "non-terrorist" events. Not ready to accept either side of the argument; I remained......conflicted ;^)
There are just too many things that don't want to add up. There are some good reasons to keep any successful, or unsuccessful for that matter, terrorist "attacks" on the QT. Swamp gas, indigestion and other anamolies are used to explain away these events. To who's advantage? I would like to see someone with the talent create a pro and con spreadsheet on the subject just for grins. You know, a who wins and who loses if actual attacks/attempted attacks are coverd up. Tsun Tsu tactics at work?

Maybe there is someone on the passenger list, and insofar as who was who, that might shed even more light on motive.
Was someone on board a problem or about to become one for either the Clintons or the Muslims?
Heck, I wouldn't even know where to start looking at that.
My guess is the latter more than the former. But then I don't have my tin foil beanie on today.
I have a vague recollection of a claim of there being a someone on board TWA800 associated with the Clintons, but any detail escapes me. A "French" connection??? I wasn't paying that much attention to the tinfoil stuff related to this flight back then. Maybe someone on the forum will see this and give us a refresher course.
