I wonder who was aboard that airliner that Iran wanted dead.
And was willing to cover the murder of one by murdering many.
What if there was a guy with evidence or plans aboard they could not allow to escape. And the evidence got bulldozed because retrieval of personal effects might show that.
Bulldozing the debris field was also atrocious on the level of denying retrieval of personal effects (jewelry, phones, etc) to relatives.
Same thought occurred to me.....
ReplyDeleteGreat minds.....
DeleteConvenient, eh? :)
ReplyDeleteMany Canadians aboard.
ReplyDeleteAnd Iran is trying desperately to thwart any real investigation into the incident.
They've soiled the sympathy that could have been coming their way, haven't they?
We live in interesting times.
Castro Jr.'s response was a shame.
DeleteIt will take time to know. If I had to guess, most on the plane were fleeing from a possible strike, and someone decided they needed a lesson in Muslim subterfuge.
ReplyDeleteLike that DC-3 in Lost Horizon.
DeleteThe fact that it was a Ukrainian airliner in these days of focus on Ukrainian corruption gives me pause.
ReplyDeleteAs I commented at Old NFO:
ReplyDeleteBulldozing the debris field was also egregious on the level of denying retrieval of personal effects to relatives.
Unless as I posted, this was not an accidental shootdown and retrieval of personal effects might show that.
Or not.
I want to know why so many Canadians in board and what were they doing in Iran? So much for support from our neighbor to the North.
ReplyDeleteCanadian-Iranians. Immigrants.
Deleteyep...shoulda figured.

ReplyDeleteWe'll never know. We do know the Iranian government are bad people.
ReplyDeleteI never considered it was anything more than an itchy trigger finger. But this scenario is not much of a leap to make. The mutha mullahs are certainly capable of such barbarity.

DeleteHA! ISWYDT!
DeletePossible point, however improbable... Automatic system set in auto, with ONLY the officer qualified to operate it is more realistic. They don't 'teach' the subordinates how to use things, just to do what the officer tells them.
