BTW terrible AP article...

it didn't blame Trump anywhere.

[Pox]

The response from the left, while predictable, should be entertaining, particularly the backlash they will get for continuing to blame President Trump.

You “unintentionally” spill soup. An airliner you shoot down with wanton disregard for safety,common sense and morals.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran announced Saturday that its military ‘unintentionally’ shot down a Ukrainian jetliner, killing all 176 aboard.

The statement came Saturday morning and blamed “human error” for the shootdown.

The jetliner, a Boeing 737 operated by Ukrainian International Airlines, went down on the outskirts of Tehran during takeoff just hours after Iran launched a barrage of missiles at U.S. forces.

Iran had denied for several days that a missile downed the aircraft. But then the U.S. and Canada, citing intelligence, said they believe Iran shot down the aircraft.

Must have grated AP to have to tell it like it is. They won’t let that happen again.

The deny it for days and now they just admit they did it.

The Trump Effect even works on Islamofascist countries. Incredible.

"Just the tip" of the missile, no doubt.

Bring in the Bulldozers!

No, they called in the "scoops".

MSNBC is still holding out hope that this is just fake news about Dear Iran.

[null and void]

In the heat of battle sh!t happens.

Remember when the USS Vincennes shot down an Iranian passenger jet?

Was that wanton disregard for safety, common sense and morals?

trigger happy Ahmed says my bad

[a fool in paradise]

What do they blame bulldozing the site and withholding the black boxes on?

[plain talk]

Iran is more truthful on this subject than our own government at times and certainly more truthful on this subject than our dems.

Of course Iran lies all the time but on this one occasion they actually fessed up. Interesting.
