Exactly. But I think Clinton played a huge part in the cover-up. He never wanted to deal with terrorism.""
My thoughts exactly.
Clinton cannot even deal with Hillary on the warpath.....
"Who was on that plane that somebody in government wanted assassinated"
"LOL! Rather er stupid way to assassinate someone don't you think?"
No. Would that consideration stop some of the people we have in this world?""
Have you forgotten Ron Brown?????
If Flt 800 had just taken off, how could it have almost empty tanks????
""Exactly. But I think Clinton played a huge part in the cover-up. He never wanted to deal with terrorism.""
Bingo
1. he was afarid that confronting terrorism would hurt the economy and stock market-Dick Morris
2. He was afraid that Bob Dole's war hero status would cause people to rally to Dole if we ended up going to war ( i disagree, but that what Willy thought)
This is NORMAL. You only put fuel in the center tank if you absolutely have to. You always want the fuel in the wings. Hard to explain, but the plane flies more efficiently with fuel distributed throughout the wings rather than in the belly.
Notice one of the 737s that blew up hadn't had the center tank filled in like a month? Again, you only use that center tank if you have to for range or fuel reserve reasons, and if you do, that's the tank you drain first.
My dh is a military and an airline pilot...so thank you :)

Thank you. That's the one I couldn't remember.

Was the mission accomplished?
Did the perps get away??
Thanks for the ping!
"Yes, of course it would."

Just like the presence of children on the planes that hit the WTC stopped the hijackers -- right?
Riiiiiight...
Over the last 14 years, that respect and trust has been utterly destroyed. It's so bad that you even have to question the courts these days. Our justice system has certainly gone down hill.

Very Well Put!
I grew up listening to "The FBI in Peace and War" and "The Untouchables". The "G-Men" were truly my heroes.
Then, what I read and saw about Waco, Ruby Ridge, WTC 1, TWA 800, etc. very nearly destroyed my trust and admiration for "our" "glorious and honorable" law enforcement agencies.
But was my "up close and personal" investigation of their activites re OKBOMB that turned that trust into abhorrent disdain.
Now, I seriously doubt that I will live long enough to see that trust restored -- even if the FBI, the BATFE, the CIA, the Courts, and the DOJ -- for starters -- were totally disbanded today ...and were rebuilt from scratch by someone I trust explicitly.
In my sad experience, I fear the rot in those agencies is simply too deep and noxious. Now that those we once trusted to dig out and publish the truth have become the prime actors in destroying and hiding that truth, I fear that justice in our land has passed beyond reach...
Oh, I dunno, give NBC enough 747s and lots of sparklers and flares, they might get one to go for the cameras...it worked with the GM pickups, iirc.
Over the last 14 years, that respect and trust has been utterly destroyed.
Same here, but I'm a great-grandfather. I lost respect for them over Ruby Ridge. That was the start. Waco took things down another notch, especially from what I saw of the Congressional hearings, and by the time they were talking about OK City and in an all-fired hurry to destroy the crime scene, I smelled a few rats.
When they 'investigated' the Flight 800 incident, they laboriously yabbled about the number of man-hours involved, and the number of people they interviewed.
That is a fine cover-up for not asking the right people the right questions. It might play well enough with the average sofa spud catching the sound bytes on the nightly news, but it set off my BS alarm.
Especially when I was reading from non-mainstream sources that a multitude of people who saw 'something bright, leaving a trail (sometimes) heading up toward what became a fireball in the sky, and that these folks, by and large (well over 100 of them) were not being interviewed, even after contacting the agency.
At that point, I, for one, felt that the agency had gone from being a federal investigative arm to the folks who produced the supporting script for whatever the Clintons wanted us to hear.
While they are cleaning out the Clinton-era (leaker) people (moles) at CIA, maybe they should look at the FBI as well.
She was on her way out of the car (over the trunk) when he pushed her back in.
It got worse from there as the Shakespearian unfolding continued, with Oswald shot, Jack Ruby dying, etc.
The Warren Report delivered the conclusions only, unless you wanted to shell out for the full set of volumes, and even then much remains sealed to this day.
No. Ron Brown, KAL 007, and others.
Pretty minor collateral damage too (over water), if the target is important enough to the right people.
Make the 'crash' officially accidental and the most unfortunate demise becomes just another footnote.
There are so many problems with Ruby Ridge, Waco and the OKC Bombing that it's difficult to know where to start. The one common thread is that federal agencies were involved, and each one screwed up incredibly.
With Waco it went all the way to the White House. Janet Reno, Webster Hubble and I suspect the Clintons were in it up to their elboes.
Reno had been briefed that the gas they wanted to use was contraindicated for situations where there were small children. She signed off anyway.
These three events would have generated the anacronym FUBAR if it hadn't already been created.
Then TWA 800 came along. Can anyone remember the FBI and the CIA commandeering another airline crash investigation from the FAA? Can anyone remember the FBI fielding questions regarding a crash? Can anyone remember a CIA agent standing in the background at each press conference?
Nah, only the BATF and the FBI could team up to make the overall performance of the INS look good by comparison.
