“I get their version of what happened - the military missile system shot it down.”
When I get home tonight I’ll did out the book and recap it for you. And NO their version of this is NOT that a military missile shot it down. Their version is that the military missile shot down a terrorist fired missile, but the intercept occurred too close to the plane and fragments blew it up. And intercepts taking place too late and fragments hitting the target, while improved, is still a problem with every missile defense system today.
And this was all kept secret because a military weapon knocked out the terrorist weapon just a little late? NO. It was kept secret because the Clintoon administration had ample warning and failed to take any action. There should have been nothing for the military to shoot at in the first place.
Thanks.
