On January 8th, US officials including Mike Pompeo, Mark Esper and Gina Haspel told members of Congress in a classified meeting that "there was no intelligence to indicate that the plane was shot down". https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-01-08/boeing-jet-crash-iran-company …

If you can't verify the authenticity of the video, why are you posting it?

Where have you been? Authenticity and proof are the least of the worries on the Left. If it works into the narrative it is good enough. Truth is subjective these days.

I can say this about Iran and feel no need to point out something that the US did a long time ago.

That's great, McG, good for you.


This is a part of the World where they still talk about the Crusades as if it happened yesterday. The US didn't exist a long time ago, what the US did/ has done remains very recent.

Oh crap. I'm starting to get the sense that "Those Weren't Iranian Missiles!" is going to become one of those "Jet Fuel Can't Melt Steel Beams! Epstein Didn't Kill Himself!" memes. This incident seems like the kind of thing that tends to happen when everyone's carrying a gun and everyone's got an itchy finger.

@BillW,
Also linked to LA Times article which says just what he quoted.

'In Washington, U.S. officials briefing members of Congress on the current tension between the United States and Iran said there was no intelligence to indicate that the plane was shot down, according to a lawmaker at the briefing and who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the classified session. The briefers included Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo, Defense Secretary Mark Esper and CIA Director Gina Haspel.'

I know Russia Russia Russia is hard for some to resist though.

@Brand X,
Brand X, I hope you realize I'm not questioning you. With that said, an RT journalist or even current American Cabinet member doesn't mean truth!

Gosh. Who could have predicted this, I ask you.
Quote:
A Justice Department inquiry launched more than two years ago to mollify conservatives clamoring for more investigations of Hillary Clinton has effectively ended with no tangible results, and current and former law enforcement officials said they never expected the effort to produce much of anything.

John Huber, the U.S. attorney in Utah, was tapped in November 2017 by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to look into concerns raised by President Trump and his allies in Congress that the FBI had not fully pursued cases of possible corruption at the Clinton Foundation and during Clinton’s time as secretary of state, when the U.S. government decided not to block the sale of a company called Uranium One.

Why are you so sure Epstein killed himself?

Yes. That's the Italian connection which proves the pizzagate story.

Every Democrat who voted NO on the War Powers resolution (Rose, Cunningham, McAdams, Brindisi, Luria, Gottheimer, Horn, Murphy) also voted YES on both impeachment articles so pause and reflect on what that tells you about their conception of "abuse of power"

So, they missed all of their static targets with twelve missiles, but managed to take out a jetliner at cruise speed and altitude scoring two from two hits?

The world isn't that stupid, but apparently many Americans want it to be true.

Bill's connections to Epstein will have to do.

The odds that Trump's reckless provocative bluff would work without a massive escalation were infinitesimal to me.
It appears --at this very early stage-- he may have beaten the odds.

Mr. Trump was not bluffing. With our airbases in the UK and Diego Garcia, our heavy bombers could have pummeled Iran mercilessly.

He took a terrible risk. I was furious. Americans were living and / or serving in the region and had no warning that Trump was drawing a target on them.
How massive anti-American retribution wasn't exacted in the hours after the assassination is a miracle to me.

Had Iran retaliated, we could have smashed them up pretty badly.

We intentionally downed an Iranian aircraft which turned out to be a passenger airliner.

Our guys believed that it was an enemy warplane that was about to kill them.
