Can You Imagine If The US Shot Down An Airliner??

[Biff_Poindexter]

And as usual you are unable to explain why.

I suggest you educate yourself....

If the war in Iraq (2003) were about oil then explain to me why this took place....

"With American troops building up on the border in March 2003, Saddam made a desperate attempt to cling on to power. His secret service sought out American-Lebanese businessman Imad Hage, who acted as an intermediary, meeting influential White House-advisor Richard Perle. Hage reported that in return for the regime’s survival, ”the U.S. will be given first priority as it relates to Iraq oil.” The offer was rejected."

The Iraq War Was Not About Oil - Quillette

My remark was a remark about how we have no interests in Iraq so we shouldn't be there.

Yep, and I said you were uninformed....I am not your teacher....Do some research, and if you are honest with yourself, and with the board here, you will come back and say you were wrong.

I fully stand behind what I said as do you since you are unable to counter it.

Oh, I can counter it just fine, but I have no intrest in educating you...You need to learn to do that on your own....But, I do note the cowards method of debate here...Get owned, declare victory, and disappear....Now run along...

You have been going back with him for 8287272 comments but when you are asked to counter what he said -- now suddenly you have no interest....GTFOH

The argument was that it made more sense based upon the reasons we were gave to attack Saudi Arabia as opposed to Iraq. Not that either would have been justifiable.

Ah, so when America is attacked, and civilians die, NO attack is justifiable....However, according to logic displayed by you, when others like Iran attack our interests, they ARE justified because you know.....United States....

Pathetic dude.

What did Iraq have to do with 9/11???

It was a seperate issue from the start. It was only the anti Bush, anti war nuts that conflated the two.

Liar. It was the Bush administration who conflated the two. So bad, that Bush was finally forced to publicly admit that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 after months of insinuating they had.

Do you liars ever get tired of revising history?

Geraldo embarrasses Fox & Friends host by pointing out America did actually shoot down an Iranian jetliner


Question......Can you imagine if the US military shot down a commercial airliner and killing everyone on board??

I have often said that memory is kryptonite to these so-called Trump conservatives and honestly to republicans in general....Geraldo of all people has once again slapped Fox & Friends in the face with facts..what was Steve Doocy thinking?? Oh I forgot, he is a robot......no wonder Hannity was smart enough to cancel Geraldo appearances -- it would have been embarrassing for Hannity to get owned like this on his own show during prime time...can't have that...

"While discussing the downed plane, Doocy asked Rivera, “Can you imagine if the United States of America accidentally shot down a jetliner?” Rivera, however, didn’t miss a beat and pointed out that the U.S. actually had done that in the 1980s. 'Well, you know Steve, we did in 1988,” he replied. “It was an international, uh — well not a scandal, but a big debate. Our guided-missile frigate Vincennes, in the Gulf there, shot down an Iranian passenger liner. 290 died, including over 60 children. And it was something that took us years to live down.”

As I said, memory is kryptonite to a Trumper....because indeed, we shot down an Iranian jetliner and we denied it....for years....in fact, Bush Sr said he would never apologize for it or anything else the US did...Many Iranians felt the jet was shot down in order to aid Iraq which was fighting a war with Iran at the time...it wasn't until 1996 or so that the US finally took some type of accountability and paid Iran 61 million dollars..This Iranian jet attack happened just 9 years after the citizens there overthrew the Shah -- who himself was put there after we decided to overthrow their leader..luckily no war erupted after the first jet being shot down and no war erupted after this jet being shot down....but as for the prospects of a peace deal coming immediately after this?? Doubt it..especially since we just tore up the nuke deal -- we may believe we are morally superior to everyone else on Earth but it will be naive of us to not at least understand why most Iranians have trust issues when it comes to us making deals....ask North Korea.....ask Libya.....

I remember that. What this liar leaves out was that there was lots of talk about the airliner being used as a bomb. Of course that was all ignored by the commies.

I remember that as well. It was off of its course and didn't listen to the US 10 requests to identify themselves, and they ignored those.

Iran Air Flight 655 - Wikipedia

Flight 655 was first detected by Vincennes immediately after takeoff when it received a short IFF Mode II, possibly leading the crew of Vincennes to believe that the airliner was an Iranian F-14 Tomcat (capable of carrying unguided bombs since 1985[29]) diving into an attack profile. Since the USS Stark incident, all aircraft in the area had to monitor 121.5 Mhz, the International Air Distress (IAD) radio frequency. A total of 10 attempts were made to warn the airliner, seven on the Military Air Distress (MAD) frequency, and three on the IAD frequency. There were no responses.[18]

and 10 times they attempted to contact the jet. The flight was an 18 minute ride in the air, it was in the air 17 minutes and over the water rather than direct flight. At the time, the US took fire ahead of that. Merely pointing out, the two shoot downs are different.

Doubt it..especially since we just tore up the nuke deal -- we may believe we are morally superior to everyone else on Earth but it will be naive of us to not at least understand why most Iranians have trust issues when it comes to us making deals....ask North Korea.....ask Libya.....

I remember that. What this liar leaves out was that there was lots of talk about the airliner being used as a bomb. Of course that was all ignored by the commies.

I remember that as well. It was off of its course and didn't listen to the US 10 requests to identify themselves, and they ignored those.

Iran Air Flight 655 - Wikipedia

Flight 655 was first detected by Vincennes immediately after takeoff when it received a short IFF Mode II, possibly leading the crew of Vincennes to believe that the airliner was an Iranian F-14 Tomcat (capable of carrying unguided bombs since 1985[29]) diving into an attack profile. Since the USS Stark incident, all aircraft in the area had to monitor 121.5 Mhz, the International Air Distress (IAD) radio frequency. A total of 10 attempts were made to warn the airliner, seven on the Military Air Distress (MAD) frequency, and three on the IAD frequency. There were no responses.[18]

We were off course. We were in Iranian waters.

You weren't there liar you don't know what was what.

Geraldo embarrasses Fox & Friends host by pointing out America did actually shoot down an Iranian jetliner


Question......Can you imagine if the US military shot down a commercial airliner and killing everyone on board??

I have often said that memory is kryptonite to these so-called Trump conservatives and honestly to republicans in general....Geraldo of all people has once again slapped Fox & Friends in the face with facts..what was Steve Doocy thinking?? Oh I forgot, he is a robot......no wonder Hannity was smart enough to cancel Geraldo appearances -- it would have been embarrassing for Hannity to get owned like this on his own show during prime time...can't have that...

"While discussing the downed plane, Doocy asked Rivera, “Can you imagine if the United States of America accidentally shot down a jetliner?” Rivera, however, didn’t miss a beat and pointed out that the U.S. actually had done that in the 1980s. 'Well, you know Steve, we did in 1988,” he replied. “It was an international, uh — well not a scandal, but a big debate. Our guided-missile frigate Vincennes, in the Gulf there, shot down an Iranian passenger liner. 290 died, including over 60 children. And it was something that took us years to live down.”

and 10 times they attempted to contact the jet. The flight was an 18 minute ride in the air, it was in the air 17 minutes and over the water rather than direct flight. At the time, the US took fire ahead of that. Merely pointing out, the two shoot downs are different.

We were in Iranian waters. We had no business even being there. Notice a pattern?
