Ukrainian airplane shot down by mistake by Iranian anti-aircraft missile, Pentagon officials believe

By Greg Norman, Lucas Tomlinson | Fox News

 

The Ukrainian passenger plane that crashed shortly after taking off from Tehran’s international airport Wednesday was shot down by mistake by an Iranian anti-aircraft missile, Pentagon officials told Fox News.

Officials said U.S. intelligence increasingly points at the airliner being accidentally struck by a Russian-made missile, killing all 176 people on board the flight, just hours after Iran fired more than a dozen ballistic missiles targeting two military bases housing American and coalition troops.

The revelations come as Ukrainian investigators reportedly are awaiting permission from Iranian authorities to examine the crash site and look for missile fragments. Iran's head of civil aviation was quoted by the ISNA News Agency as saying Thursday that it was "impossible that a missile hit the Ukrainian plane" bound for Kiev, according to Reuters, and its officials have blamed a technical malfunction for the aircraft’s doom.

"A strike by a missile, possibly a Tor missile system, is among the main (theories), as information has surfaced on the internet about elements of a missile being found near the site of the crash," Oleksiy Danilov, secretary of Ukraine's Security Council, told Ukrainian media. He did not elaborate on where he saw the information.

I think the incompetence of their military has really been exposed the last few days. First, the number of rockets that didn't explode and ALL missing vital areas; and now this... Some trigger happy raghead I'm sure was absolutely positive that plane taking off from the Tehran airport was a US bomber retaliating for the rocket attack....

 

Remember this is the same military that fought Hussein to a stand off. The same Iraqi army we walked over.... twice....

No, it’s right. Trump’s maximum pressure is to blame in part for that accident. Fog of war sets in

And all the idiots on lefty television have been falling all over themselves trying to convey the idea that Iran was going to kick the US military's ass.  Hahahahaha

 USA Today reports: “Americans by more than 2-1 say the killing of Iranian Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani has made the United States less safe, a nationwide USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll finds, amid broad concerns about the potential consequences ahead. A majority of those surveyed, by 52%-34%, called Trump’s behavior with Iran ‘reckless.’" Even worse: “[There] was overwhelming agreement — in each case by more than 6-1 — that the attack made it more likely Iran would strike American interests in the Middle East (69%), that there would be terrorist attacks on the American homeland (63%), and that the United States and Iran would go to war with each other (62%).” Finally, “By 52%-8%, those polled said the attack made it more likely that Iran would develop nuclear weapons.”

Trudeau, sporting an appropriate Solameni supporting goatee mourns the mistake in Iran.

When it comes to pandering to a demographic, this dude does it better than Hillary.

enhancement at the very least

 

i guess some dudes can have a full inch beard filled in with less than two weeks growth, he's not the right demographic though

 

his father lost his hair by his early 30s, i wouldn't be surprised if there's a ton of patch work going on with the son
