Stephanopolous says terrorists caused flight 800

ABC

[opinionator]

Jennings was talking to George Stephanopolous, who claimed that flight 800 was brought down by terrorists. Anyone else see this? Also heard someone else make this claim earlier today.

maybe georgie pulled his finger out of the dyke?

Bankrolled by China.....with our dollars.....

I am not qualified to speak on any of this, so I will.
I have reached the conclusion that this action has been in the works for years, and maybe a decade. This is not a bunch of nickel-dime terrorist who woke up one day and decide to raise a little hell.

People were put in place, policies were altered, and huge amounts of money had been raised. People in both high and low places have been making things happen for a long time and this morning was just the end (maybe) result.

Were rogue pilots planted? Were flight crew personnel corrupted? Had our airport security systems been widely infiltrated? The trmendous amount of coordination would have required years of planning, training and education. Only a widely concerted effort could have accomplished such an effort.

During the Clinton administration, security was essentially non-existence. Was this part of the prerequisites? Was the China-gate part of this? Was the dive in the DOW about this? (money manipulation from abroad).

In a culture that appeals to the lowest of humankind, it has always been necessary for them to employ less than professional assistance to pull off their plots. These people often deal in drugs and other sundry activities to support their lifestyle. These people draw a reasonable amount of attention from our trusted resources. Terrorists have always been replete with loose lips. So why were we not aware of a plot of this magnitude?

I believe this was not a terrorist attack but an invasion from without. I suspect China and believe they are playing us against the middle-east so they can benefit from the spoils. I also think Clinton played a role in staging this.

Everyone agreed that Clinton would not surrender his power after leaving the Presidency. Maybe he hasn’t.

If that means, "burn it to the ground" then I'm for it.

[Howlin]

What a jerk!

[freedomson]

That made whip up a Reynolds Wrap fedora!

[Hatteras]

Perhaps people will start feeling a sense of guilt for not telling the truth and will begin opening up?

[rightofrush]

Reno's involved?

[dez]

Don't ever believe anything coming from anyone that was ever part of the Clinton spin machine.

[ladyinred]

Did Georgie mess up in the heat of the moment and finally, and accidently reveal the truth? I wish I had heard that, but cannot stand to watch the guy.

[doug from upland]

Yes, he said it. Something like..... "and the bombing of Flight 800"

[holden]

GS "claimed that flight 800 was brought down by terrorists. Anyone else see this? Also heard someone else make this claim earlier today."

The earlier commentator was James Kallstrom, former head of the NY FBI office. He said, "It [the downing of TWA800] sure looked like a terrorist act." In fairness, an implication of his statement was that "subsequent to that, we became persuaded of the now-official story," but by then, the "cat was out of the bag" that one may reasonably consider that the evidence shows it was a terrorist act--that is, that it was a shoot-down.

Confirm S said

We can be thankful he wasn't exercising his power from the oval office - he would have blamed the "right wing militias," declared martial law, and he'd be collecting our guns by now.

Stephie had better be careful. He may find himself taking a dirt nap in Fort Marcey Park!!!

[MHGinTN]

Could it have been shot down by US because it was hijacked and headed for the same target as today's attacks?

[MizSterious]

Not from Steponallofus, but I heard Katie Couric say "when Flight 800 blew up..." which is the first time I'd ever heard anyone from the media use that terminology. She said it this morning on NBC Today show, whilst talking about the WTC.

[holden]

I don't think so. TWA800 made no maneuver that would indicate its pilot intended any act of terrorism.

[c. l. coffman]

depends on what your definition of "was" was.

[HalfIrish]

HMMMM?!

[Go Gordon]

Very thought provoking. You're good.....
