"One of two things happened next: Either Navy missiles intercepted a terrorist plane and inadvertently took out TWA Flight 800 in the process; or, more likely, while practicing to intercept a terrorist plane in the kind of crowded air corridor where such an attack would likely occur, Navy missiles accidentally destroyed the 747."

We know the first senario isn't true if it is true what terrorist plane was intercepted?

I don't agree with the second senario either, I think the flight 800 bomb was something more like this;

"On Dec. 11 Yousef boarded a Philippine Airlines flight from Manila to Cebu and placed his pocket-size bomb—a timer made from a Casio watch, a nine-volt battery and liquid nitroglycerine stored in a contact lens case—under seat 26K. He had tested his bomb 10 days earlier by blowing up a seat in a Manila movie theater. Yousef got off the plane in Cebu, and on the flight to Tokyo the bomb exploded, ripping a Japanese man in half and shearing a hole in the plane, which made an emergency landing in Okinawa, Japan. The bombing was a test run for Yousef's larger plot—code name "Project Bojinka"—to detonate bombs on 12 jumbo jets headed to the United States and kill approximately 4,000 passengers, according to court documents. " Missed Signals

Then it was covered up just like the Murrah bombing. What I can't figure out is why the Clinton Admin wanted to cover up all these terrorist incidents? Did they think we Americans were better off not knowing?

The conspiracy is that Clinton cover up so much that we the American people deserved to know.

"Authorities later discovered that a passenger on the aircraft's preceding leg was Ramzi Yousef, a master Al-Qaeda bomber and terrorist. He was later convicted of the World Trade Center bombing. Yousef boarded the flight under the assumed name of Armaldo Forlani.

Yousef assembled a bomb in the lavatory and stuck it under Seat 26K on the right-hand side of the fuselage, setting the timer to explode the device four hours later. He and 25 other passengers left the plane at Cebu.

Two hours before arrival at Tokyo, the bomb exploded at 11:43 P.M. while Flight 434 was 31,000 feet above Minami Daito Island, which is located nearby Okinawa and is 260 miles (420 km) southwest of Tokyo.

The explosion ripped the body of 24-year old Haruki Ikegami, a Japanese businessman occupying the seat, in half. He was an industrial sewing machine maker returning from a trip to Cebu. Flight attendants covered him with a blanket. Ten passengers sitting in front of Ikegami were also injured. The bomb tore out a two square foot (0.2 m²) portion of the cabin floor, revealing the cargo hold underneath, but the fuselage of the plane stayed intact.

The Boeing 747-283B, tail number EI-BWF, made an emergency landing in Naha Airport, Okinawa, one hour after the bomb exploded. When the control columns stopped functioning normally, the crew turned to steering via throttle control, reminiscent of United Airlines Flight 232. The aircraft's other 272 passengers and 20 crew members survived.

The seat where the bomb exploded (seat 26K) would normally be above the center wing fuel tank on a Boeing 747 but on this particular model of 747 the tank was located slightly further back. Seat 26K was just one row in front of the tank."

This was in 1994, flight 800 was in July 1996, Yousef was captured in Sept 1996.

I cant believe the balls on Hillary Clinton. Telling George Bush to clean up the mess in Iraq so the next president wont have it to do. Especially after the mess she and the rapist left for Bush.

She knows she cant handle any of these problems,if she is elected she intends to spend 4 years kissing the World's butt,and destroying any defense we may have.

An admitted spectacular terrorist strike on the country would require action that would make the left's Euroweenie brothers and sisters hate Clinton...

And such an attack would make investors jittery and damage the economy, as we saw happen on 9/11.

And when it comes to getting reelected a bad economy is big trouble, so there's incentive to pull an Enron or Global Crossing and cover up the fact from investors that there's something worth being nervous about.
