Why would Iran be involved with a planeful of citizens from its main buyer of oil and supplier of military technology?
Why would Iran be complicit in the hijacking of a plane full of citizens from it's main petroleum buyer and major supplier of military technology?
I’m like X-Files...”I wanna believe”....but I’d call BS on all these theories if not for for Gen. McInerney. He’s a credible guy with sources few can rival, and he’s got absolutely nothing to gain by going out on a limb like this if there’s no reason to. He could just tread water like the rest but instead, he’s doubling down. I’m afraid he’s right.
A military man is only as good as his intelligence and the General has bad intelligence.
Boeing has expertise in aeronautical engineering not Pakistani politics.
Dude...China is going to nuke your house!

Well then, who’s plane is in MY backgyard?!!
I’m sure I just saw Elvis flying by in it.
I have no idea where the plane is, but I would suggest that before you say too much about how stupid the idea is, that you should go to the LIGNET site and look at their board of directors and contributors.
A lot of highly experienced people who have real connections to the world of spooks.
It is worth considering.
With the amount of fuel it was carrying, even burning in to reserves, it would have made it there.
Uighur abuse?
This isn't some comic book character.
Was headed at one time for a route south of Sri Lanka and the southern tip of India where radar is probably sparse - cause there ain’t nothing out there in that huge Indian Ocean for them to be concerned about......
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_species_of_bird_flies_at_the_highest_elevation
The Bar-headed Goose is believed to be the highest flying bird having been seen at up to 10175 m (33,382 feet). It has a slightly larger wing area for its weight than other geese and it is believed this helps the goose to fly so high.
The altitude record is held by a Rüppell’s griffon Gyps rueppelli, a vulture with a 10-foot wingspan. On November 29, 1975 one was sucked into a jet engine 37,900 feet above the Ivory Coast in West Africa. The plane was damaged but landed safely.
The bird that flies highest regularly is the bar-headed goose Anser indicus, which travels directly over the Himalayas en route between its nesting grounds in Tibet and winter quarters in India. They are sometimes seen flying well above the peak of Mt. Everest at 29,035 ft.
Interesting!!!
The caliphate or whatever it is when the new Allah comes out of the well, is why. Zealot muslims are always muslim first .
China wants the oil much more than Iran wants to sell it to any particular buyer. When Iran or anyone’s oil hits the market its up for sale to anyone willing to buy it.
I think he's fixing to retire from news commentary.
Did anyone ever succinctly state whether the ELTs could be switched off?
If activated, the ELT signal would be read by satellite. Nobody has indicated the ELT signal was noticed.
No signal, no crash.
So, I guess we can choose whether to believe General McInerney and his sources...or...?? Yours??
This guy has a reputation for credibility and has given plausible scenarios. He’s also said his Boeing sources were “covert”, which I’d take to mean other than the corporate PR flacks. Boeing is involved in many activities other than making airplanes, including supporting large scale communications networks and computer systems all around the world. Which is to say, a covert source could have access to data not available to most.
