Does Anybody Remember USG Targeting IR655?

Yeah.
I still think the iranians might have put the trasnponder from one of
their F14s in the jetliner so we Americans would mistake it for a
warplane . . .

And now I find this :

>>>
Why did the U.S. government honor the commander of USS Vincennes despite the shooting of a civilian airplane?

http://www.quora.com/U-S-%E2%80%93Iran-Relations-Why-did-the-U-S-government-honor-the-commander-of-USS-Vincennes-despite-the-shooting-of-a-civilian-airplane

Because ultimately, the award was for his entire tenure as commander of the Vincennes from '87-'89, and in the IR655 incident, Captain Rogers was not actually at fault. Sure, he was known to be aggressive, and was allegedly not focused on the airspace around him. Instead, he was focusing primarily on the fact that his cruiser was being engaged by eight Iranian gunboats at the time, after the Iranians attempted to shoot down one of his utility helicopters. He allegedly received inaccurate information about the IR655's flight path and transponder mode, but otherwise acted within protocols for a Commander in an active naval combat engagement.

Meanwhile, Iran responded by attempting to assassinate Roger's wife by car bomb. She was in the van when it happened and barely escaped.

Given the broader picture of the scenario, the real question is why haven't the Iranians ever taken responsibility for their escalations in the Strait of Hormuz in the first place?

>>>

Yeah. The Vincennez, which shot down IR655, was actually under attack
by iranian gunboats . . and then had an aircraft not properly listed as
a civilian entering the battle space.

One would think that the folks flying expensive jetliners would know
better than to fly them anywhere near an active combat zone.

And let us not forget that the stinking iranian terrorists tried to
car bomb the Captain's wife.

The shoot-down of a Ukrainian airliner is the latest propaganda ploy by the state to further demonize Iran and prepare for war. Unfortunately, there are a lot of folks who experience amnesia during such events.

@iheartmindy

"In case you missed it, Iran did shoot down that civilian passenger plane killing all 176 people on board because their backwards country is too GD incompetent to wait for an airspace to be clear of civilian aircraft before launching a missile attack."

I suppose she deserves a pass, being young and more than likely “educated” in a public school and like far too many Americans believes whatever the USG tells her.

Obviously, she is unaware of this, rarely talked about in the exceptional nation:

This article comes from the Washington Post, Dateline: July 4, 1988: NAVY DOWNS AN IRANIAN JETLINER OVER GULF; IRAN SAYS 290 ARE DEAD, US "EXPRE$$ES REGRET".

The quote marks around the last two words are mine, not those of the Washington Post.

And the timing of crud like this is never accidental; please note the date; July 4th Independence Day.
