LOL...I never said or implied they didn't. My comments were directed at the idea that Iran had to turn the black box over to Boeing.
It's no wonder this country is in the mess it is.
Yes. That was one of your claims. But not the only one, by far. You stubbornly and stupidly refused to concede Iran was the one and only most likely party to have shot down a jet in their own air space even as all the evidence began to pile up against them.
Only you know why you looked at the same fact picture as everyone else yet refused to draw the obvious conclusion and you still are trying to cover your ass by saying you never implied Iran didn't knock the Boeing out of the sky as you did in post # 102.
Why? Lots of people came to the one obvious conclusion while you were still claiming "nobody knows" which isn't quite so.
Photos were out, the Iranians were busy bulldozing the evidence away while you claimed ignorance on the matter.
Only you know why.
