"We keep coming back, though, to a very troubling point for the conspiracy theorists, namely there is no shoulder fired missile that had the range to reach the airliner, unless (and even this is a stretch) directly under it at sea at the time it was fired."
You said it was "a stretch," but now you're retracting that statement entirely?
The site had actual photos and test results from the late 1990s showing the capabilities of the missiles. Unfortunately, those links are dead now.

It’s not hard to find the #s, and that anyone would plan a single-shot mission based on the wild possibility that they would be able to position a boat at the very farthest edge of such a missile’s range seems far fetched at best. But as I recall, we had a pretty inconclusive debate about whether even directly under the flight at exactly the right tkme a missile even then could reach the plane.
