...on another forum. Even though we find it more important to consider McCain's lousy stances on the issues or his stupidity and incompetence or his willingness to collaborate with the enemies of the United States, this doesn't seem to be what gets under the skin of the average voter. But maybe I found something that does:
Ah yes, the official account. Too bad the McCains, both influential admiral father and reckless son, didn't have as much respect for those sailors and Marines as I do. O.K.
First, look at the video and tell me how you can be so sure that the momentary reflection in the glass is from a missile--especially considering the angle of the glass (the camera was in a rectangular room). Then tell me how you can be sure the A-4's tail is hanging out over the edge of the flight deck above the five inch gun. After all, at the angle it is sitting that would put the port side landing gear awfully close to the edge. When you're through with that, tell me if it was the wing or internal fuel tanks that were punctured by the alleged missile--both wings appear in the film to be intact and the fire appears to be behind them, but the fuselage tank is ahead of them:

Then tell me why on August 4 Time magazine said the fuel came from a drop tank that was dropped on the deck much as McCain's bomb is said to have been dropped on deck. Thank you.
And, oh yes. No, there probably wasn't a missile from White's plane. The more I look the more I wonder if there was a missile at all. After all, there were four safeties designed to prevent what the official account happened. And while White's plane wasn't directly behind McCain, given the angle they were parked at and the fact that between the wind speed and the ship's speed (I obviously don't need to tell you she was steaming into the wind) the air velocity over the deck was some thirty-five knots, it should be pretty obvious where whatever came out of McCain's tailcone wound up in relation to White's aircraft...
The subject, for those who don't know, is the U.S.S Forrestal. I'll let you know how it goes.
