Thank you for your honest yet absurd question. It makes my point.
As an astute Barrack Barry Hussein Soebarkah Soetoro Rama Lama Ding Dong Obama NBC researcher, one should be more objective, if not skeptical towards digital monkey poo.
Iran fired TWO missiles at jet liner and blew it out the sky after ‘mistaking it for US bomber’: Satellites saw tragedy unfold, reveal spies as western airlines avoid airspace and chilling video shows missile hitting 737 with 176 aboard
Oh, did you notice how dispirited President Trump sounded as he replied to the crowd’s “Lock Her Up” chant?
(”I mean crooked Hillary spent three or four times more money than us, right? Then Crooked Hillary well you should lock her up I tell you...”)
FINALLY! A wonderful article

Trump Unbound
By J.R. Dunn
FTA:
But for Donald Trump, the road is wide open. There are no lurking scandals. All the questions have been answered. His enemies have launched their warheads only to see them bounce off. In the upcoming term – I don’t think we need to discuss reelection here – they would be reduced to shouting, capering, and banging on their shields. For the first time in a long time, a reelected Republican will have perfect freedom to accomplish whatever he wishes.
Oh, so you have no excuse for being a royal (fill in the blank).
Aircraft on the ground would be the targets. I doubt the SRBMs originated in the vcty of Tehran, and given US mil proclivities, the counterstrike wouldn't be ballistic missiles. Also no SAM is fired by 'accident'. Like SK in the 80's, if higher HQ thought you should have engaged, and didn't, you would probably be X'ed out. So you shoot when in doubt.
Except the US wouldn't have been shooting SAMs.
For some reason a spate of articles about Huber hasn’t and won’t do anything.... WaPo and a 2018 hearing is all. IOW....zippy.
Sounds as though someone/someones really WANT Huber to be a do-nothing.
Does Ukrainian Airlines have RAW gear? Maybe they should, as soon as they get the Ukrainian version of Chuck Yeager to fly their airliners. The first the pilot knew of that missile is when it hit him.
>>2018
Gateway Pundit has a bad habit of writing articles that are 95 percent old material with a teeny tiny bit of new material, to go with the headline, at the bottom. The reason I go to them is because they often get there first, and then you go elsewhere to fill out the headline.
FTA:
In May 2019 Attorney General Bill Barr, who replaced Jeff Sessions, told CBS News that John Huber had NEVER EVEN STARTED his investigation.
They never looked at anything.
It was all a dog-and-pony show by Jeff Sessions.

Did he really??? I didn’t get to watch all of it, so I missed that part. Do you remember approximately (timewise) when that happened?
Unless and until Bill Barr holds a presser and pronounces the probe over, I would not get in a twist over it. (Not directed at you SB).
Invisible people we've never met told us that Huber finished his investigation of Hillary Clinton and although the probe is not done yet, we can report that no charges will be filed through no notice has yet been sent to the Justice Department. https://t.co/GUt008SUg8 pic.twitter.com/xcnA1op42H— Praying Medic (@prayingmedic) January 10, 2020

Re: the “Balanced Breakfast”
I’d prefer the weapon was turned over and moved about three inches up and to the right.
Better access for right-handed shooter plus keep from knocking any bacon off the plate when going for the gun.
(I’d really prefer a 1911A1 as well, but don’t want to be too picky.)
WINRED! POTUS tweeted 17hrs ago. Of course this is my time I guess.
Start right at 49:48 in the C-Span version.

The "Mistake" part of this is what invites reflection.
There are precedents however:
1) TWA Flight 800 was apparently brought down in 1996 by a missile fired in error. I have personally spoken with an air traffic controller who saw it, along with many of his colleagues who were on duty. Possible source of missile: U.S. Navy.
2) Iran Air Flight 655 was shot down in 1988 by the autonomous Aegis defense system of the USS Vincennes, which mistook it for a threatening war plane. Humans did have an opportunity to countermand the robot system's decision, but were unable to determine in time that it was a civilian craft.
