Think about who was president. Bubba Klinton would throw the Navy to the wolves and like it. He'd publicize everything, smear the entire Navy, fire and court martial everybody he could while giving the press unprecedented access, and whip up the biggest anti-military frenzy possible.

I was in the Navy from 1988-1994. Trust me, Klinton screwed the Navy six ways from Sunday. He and his baboon wife have always shown utter contempt for the military. Why would he lie and cover up something that would make them look like total garbage? The risk of getting caught is too high for him personally, and it's more in his nature to "prove" that the military is run by a bunch of nutcases who need their wings clipped big-time.

I'm betting it was a shoulder-fired missile that some islamokazi was packing.

I think that’s a very good point. I don’t know the answer to it. If you would have asked me if he would sign on to the bombing of Bosnia and Kosovo, I would have said empatically no. His erratic behavior was part of what led me to think he was a dangerous individual to have in the White House.

All I know is that this was the only time in U.S. history that the FBI and CIA wrestled an investigation of a commerical airline crash away from the NTSB, in violation of protocol. Ron Brown’s fight was also outside the norm, as the airline manufacturer’s rep that always goes to crash sites when his company’s planes are involved, was told NOT TO SHOW UP.

“I’m betting it was a shoulder-fired missile that some islamokazi was packing.”

I’ve looked around and it wasn’t a russian or American made MANPADS since they can only engage targets up to a max altitude of 14,000 feet....And Flight 800 was at around 17,000 feet

They each have a slant range between 1000 to 8000 meters but slant range doesn’t equate altitude.

I think it may have been something jury rigged using a AAM or maybe some sort of modified MANPADS with a bigger booster to increase the engagement envelope of the missile.
