BTW..No islamic terrorist groups have claimed responsibility for OKC either.

Maybe not a Stinger missile, but there are many larger, better SAMs that could. Like the ones on US ships, or ???

If Bill Xlinton had not covered up the fact that a terrorist missile took out TWA Flight 800 the war on terror would have started five years before 9/11, meaning 9/11 never would have occurred.

So how did the Clinton administration cover up for terrorists? Did the terrorists send a message only to Clinton saying, "We did it! Tell the world." and then have spent the last 8 years wondering why it never made the papers? If this was a terrorist action one would assume that someone would have claimed credit for it. Why hasn't anyone?

What purpose is served by an anonymous terrorist act? What is the point of a terrorist act if you don't take responsibility for it? Don't you want your enemy to know that you did it? That you struck deep into their country and got away with it? To show that there is nothing the government can do to prevent it?

The Navy doesn't conduct live fire exercises anywhere near that area for the simple reason that it is the most heavily travelled air corridor in the world, and the chance of accident would be unacceptably high.

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

If they did, would we be told?

As long as they told someone in the press. What's the point of "terrorism" when no one knows that it is? What is to be gained from shooting down this airplane or knocking down a federal building, if no one knows you did it?

The Stinger also has an passive infrared homing system. It would go after the biggest heat source around, one of the four engines. Yet all the missile conspiracy theories I've seen claim that the missile hit the airplane in the fuselage.

Why make it easy for those you attacked to figure it out?

Not all terrorists operate from the same playbook.

[Tribune7]

Dubya's biggest mistakes were keeping Clarke & Tenent.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Who has claimed responsibility for 9-11?

[Non-Sequitur]

So we're faced with a group of publicity shy terrorists? Doesn't that kind of contradict their goal of making people terrified of them?

[Non-Sequitur]

Who has claimed responsibility for 9-11?

bin Laden. Right off the bat.

[FreedomPoster]

And a missile going for "center of mass" of the heat sources, or dithering between two of them, might hit the fuselage.

[Vigilantcitizen]

bin Laden. Right off the bat.

True. My bad. I googled with the wrong terms.

If Saddam was behind OKC, why would he claim responsibility? He had a country to lose, bin laden didn't.

[TigersEye]

One more for the list. Jayna Davis: THE THIRD TERRORIST --- yes, Iraq was involved in the OKC bombing.

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

Nobody has explicitly claimed responsibility, but Al-Queda has praised the attacks and they have at least hinted at their involvement.

But, if I concede this one, tell me how we ever know who is doing these things. If a group does claim responsibiltiy, I could say they are lying. If no one claims responsibility, I could say that someone did, but the government hid it from us. It is endless. So, what is the source for the truth?

[nkycincinnatikid]

bump

[True Capitalist]

another coincidence??? bump

[Leisler]

Maybe, just maybe, more so.

The paths of departing aircraft, repeat themselves almost exactly. So, a terrorist could well just fish off Long Island for a few days, get a idea of local inshore and off shore boat traffic and departing aircraft routes and mark it all with a GPS. In other words he/they could position themselves directly under the flight paths. This would shorten the distance for the Stinger.

Next, Flight 800 is destroyed at around 13,000-14,000, however the missile could of hit the aircraft at a lower altitude, say 10,000. Furthermore if the missile hit a say 10,000, the tracking of the jet could of started at 5,000 where a lock was received on the large heat source of any or all of the the four very large engines.

That is a very good question. Hopefully, one day the truth will come out.
