Considering Sept 11, the "missile theory" takes on a new meaning.

Liberal Denials result in Peace; War on Terrorism only a Reality when Republicans in White House - just wonder if a Gore White House would have admitted the Twin Towers were gone.... What would a continuation of the Same Administration (Clinton-Gore) have spun; peace via the "SUNSHINE POLICIES" is the only option a democrat/liberal can understand. Liberals fail to understand that some people are not rational or irrational in the way they might understand; somethimes liberals don't understnad that their thought process is a direct result of being brought up in Judo-Christian country and theirin lies the fault of their miscalculations.

[W]e will improve airport and air travel security. I have asked the vice president to establish a commission and report back to me on ways to do this. But now we will install the most sophisticated bomb detection equipment in all our major airports. We will search every airplane flying to or from America from another nation – every flight, every cargo hold, every cabin, every time.

Bill Clinton has to be the most accomplished liar this nation has ever produced.

If I've learned anything at all as an aviator it's this: when a non-aviator or non-engineer is confronted with something he/she doesn't understand (about airplanes or aviation) then their reptilian brain defaults to something he/she can.

I was on Westhampton beach that day and saw TWA800 explode. I don't buy a ground launch SAM theory. If TWA800 was indeed shot down by a missle it would have most likely come from the air. Even more likely is that a bomb was on board.

To shoot down that plane at the distance it was at and current atmospheric conditions, you would have needed a fairly sophisticated guidance system (not heat seeking or optically guided) with enough range -- certainly nothing very portable or easily hidden if on board a ship.

And if you ever saw something like an SM1 or SM2 being launched from a Navy ship there wouldn't be any question. It's quite a sight!

The "Ceiling" of the Stinger is Only 1.8 miles

SA14 (The USSR's Replacement for the SA-7) its ceiling is also 1.8 miles. Introduced in 1978

The SA18 is the Third Generation heat seeking man portable missle
http://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/missile/row/sa-18.htm

THE UK has supplemented its Stingers with Blowpipes/Javelein/Starstreak series of missles. Unlike the Stinger and the SA-7, 14 and 19 these are opitcaly guided missles, not heat seeking (With the Starstreak riding a laser beam to the target)

How on Earth can someone claim a missile struck TWA800?

The individual witness is unreliable. Society and the state are the arbiter of all truths. It is the Socialist way.

The very notion of a missile is preposterous. For example, the Clinton government says it didn't happen. An election year? Don't be so cynical. He said so.

Hey, and that's good enough for me.

We only require that which we are told we require.

Signed,

A Typical F@cking Democratic Traitorous Moron

Dang, JH2! I had read nothing at the top of this post and dove right in. When I was no more than a third of the way through it, I said to myself. "This was posted by JohnHuang2."
I scrolled up to the top and there it was, your moniker.

You always post the most informative and well written posts. Kudos. Again.

This is an excellent reprise of the facts of flight 800. The FBI was actively pursuing a particular boat at many of the marina's in range of this incident (source of missle) then they sudenly stopped.
