We got 50000 doctors from Iraq...



They got no papers but we believe their word.

You should change careers and become a doctor Odi....I'll believe you.

I'm in shock right now. At least 27 people from this city died on that flight. I'm also very close to the local Iranian community through my friendship with former Iranian Heritage Society president, Payman Parseyan. I personally knew Dr Shekoufeh Choupannejad and her two beautiful daughters. RIP my friends.

Sorry to hear about that. I read nearly half of the Canadian victims were from Edmonton and wondered. It is a small world.

Barack Obama ordered more than 500 such airstrikes, killing thousands.

and one Daffy one was the leader of his country



yet none of his worshipers said a word about it being illegal



not to mention they did ZERO to help put the country back to right

Khadaffy was killed by his own people, not by an airstrike.

Literally yes, in effect, no.  - 0 chased him for weeks, bombing everywhere he went around the country - a final airstrike forced him into a sewer from which  a flock of his people pulled him out and  killed him  .. as intended all along



0 set out to eliminate him and achieved his goal .. mission accomplished



Very sorry to hear about your friends, Shen

Ukrainian commercial airliner has "spontaneously combusted" mid-air in Iran..



No emergency call from the crew...



Whatever happened was so quick that the pilots didnt even report it..





Iran has confiscated the black boxes and refusing to give them to Boeing or any other non-iranian authorities.

That was Ukrainian Airlines, which has a spotty safety record. Let's not jump to conclusions because Iran is being a pain.

I don't believe the Islamic regime in Tehran would want to down a flight with mostly overseas Iranians. There is no domestic nationalist advantage in that. I am not saying it was not deliberate though.

The American left has been in a frenzy that war was imminent. Yet, again Trump has proved that he has no interest in fighting the world's battle like his Dem and GOP predecessors. Peace and prosperity continue.



Iranians 'standing down'

Trump avoids escalating crisis after missile attacks



Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif had said the strikes "concluded" Tehran's response to the killing of Soleimani, who had been responsible for building up Iran's network of proxy armies across the Middle East.

No advantage, however ..... apparently It WAS missile



It now appears that Iran fucked up and shot it down



CBS News quoting US intelligence said a satellite detected infrared "blips" of two missile launches, followed by another blip of an explosion.



Meanwhile, Newsweek quoted a Pentagon and a senior US intelligence officials, as well as an Iraqi intelligence official as saying they believed the Ukrainian plane was hit by a Russian-made Tor missile. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-51055219">https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-51055219





The Ukrainian flight that crashed in Iran was shot down by a missile, according to reported US satellite intelligence

All based on very strong statements by US officials -  US satelite info - we shall see if true

Isn't that special. It will be interesting to see how Tehran spins this and how other countries, like Ukraine and Canada respond.

US say data shows surface to air missile - Not the type of missile being fired into Iraq



Iran reports - The airliner had turned back toward the airport before it crashed, minutes after takeoff, and cited proof.



If it was headed back, that would make missile hit more unlikely



While US (Pentagon) "high level of confidence" ..  we'll see how this developed and should know for sure soon

Sixty-three of them were Canadian nationals, but many more called Canada their home, at least temporarily.



138 according to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau - "were connecting to Canada" / called Canada their home . (not sure what that exactly  means)

The anti-Trumpers are trying to say that this is in response to the US killing the top Iranian terrorist.  

Sorry progtards, once again there is no war. Trump aint Obama or Bush.

Confirmed... The plane gets hit by another source of light that was incoming from the ground.
