    It looks like this theory,"Could be another "cowboy" on a us war ship being trigger happy, a more like ly scenario." is not a more likely theory after all. Turns out our military was not involved in any way.

    In actuality this was a horrible tragedy.The fact that it involves Iran and Ukraine adds to the tragedy.

    Is anybody else wondering why 63 Canadian citizens were on the Ukrainian flight that got shot down by Iran? Without knowing any details, sounds like something might be more to that.

    Canada has become quite the multi ethnic nation ... to presume any of the 63 were "eh" saying, Moosehead drinkin, Maple syrup makin pale caucasian is unwise. Perhaps there were a few, but my guess (and it's only a guess) .... these were mostly of arab descent. I could be wrong.

    IDK why anyone would have service in/out of Tehran without armed escort.

    Tel Aviv is risky enough.

    The woman who called her husband as she sat on the plane was Iranian visiting her family. The Husband was Iranian too.
    Canada is easy to migrate to so there is likely a large community of ME people there.

    I was waiting for someone to blame Trump for this. Its absolutely tragic but people are sick. Its Trumps fault for everything.

    Doesn't this depress you to know that her vote counts the same as yours?

    Not sure why anyone would care what Saira Rao has to say. She ran to the Left of Rep. Diane Degette (D-Colorado) (who's basically a Nancy Pelosi-style Democrat - very liberal but not full lunatic) and got her *** handed to her. She's a less attractive and less successful AOC. Who gives a crap what she has to say or think?

    Lots of Dems making asses of themselves. California Dem. , Jackie Speier, went on CNN to blame the U.S. calling it "collateral damage" from the Soleimani targeting. What's scary is this woman sits on the intelligence committee and has seen the classified info!



    Where were these people when Obama's actions wrongly targeted a wedding convoy in Yemen that killed a bunch of innocent people?

    I am still waiting for the confession/admission - which is purely an exercise in altruism as a part of my ongoing quixotic quest to get pronouns correct when posting replies

    Happens every day in every newsroom in the country, except maybe one or two -- print, electronic, over the air, all of them. News from all over the world comes in; they have some type of editorial meeting where they always ask the same question; "How can we use this against Trump?" If they cant figure out an anti-Trump angle, they drop it. Rinse and repeat. Every day.

    How about an IQ test for voting?

    You cant say its sexist or racist because if you do say that it is sexist or racist then you are being sexist or racist

    Here's another article addressing the change in posture.

    It isn't twitter length, but I finished it in less than 1/2 a cup of coffee.

    They know they did it, so they just rolled up the carpet and left

    And just like in every newsroom in America every day, the Iranians are sitting there having their equivalent of an editorial meeting, asking the same question - "How do we pin this on Trump?"

    Shaark
    Interesting article. Very
    It does point out
    "The threat that Iran poses to a superpower America is “asymmetric”—kidnappings, embassy attacks, hijackings, bombings, etc., typically conducted by Iranian proxies. The military experts and political scientists who coined the term usually fail to note that the ability to wage “asymmetric” warfare is wholly dependent on an adversary’s willed blindness. If Iran’s targets decide to unsubscribe to the fiction that the Islamic Republic is not directly responsible for the actions of its proxies, Iran is rendered virtually powerless–with terror attacks being met with direct military hits on Iranian bases, airfields, ports, power plants, dams, and other infrastructure."

    We know how Trump will react but in the meantime Dems and MSM will go after Trump 24/7 and if this happens next year it could change the election.What a horrid thought.

    But Trump is bad for taking out a stone cold murderer?????

    yeah, before the mullahs overthrew the government in '79, Iran was almost Western!

    What is their actual position?
    Are Dems saying Trump should have waited until AFTER Soleimani blew up our embassy to act? Perhaps not even then? Or maybe wait until the embassy was blown up, then send the mad mullahs a pallet of cash and ask them not to do it again?
    Are they even willing to take a position?

    THE question,"
    Are they even willing to take a position?

    The answer NO
    and no one asks them how long they were willing to let Suleimani kill and maim.
    They just get to rant on and on that this is Trump's fault.

    So the question is this: How credible was our information that the attack on the embassy was imminent?

    It's clear a pre-emptive strike is not welcome on the Left. I understand not wanting to throw the first punch but this is a knife fight with these guys.
