Making Uncle Walter proud?

Iran said Tuesday that dozens of people had been arrested over the Islamic Republic's apparently unintentional shooting down of a Ukrainian jetliner last week. The arrests come amid Iranian vows to fully and openly investigate the firing of the surface-to-air missile that downed the plane, killing all 176 people on board.
But while Iran confessed to shooting the jet down — three days after the fact and under intense international pressure — its president asserted Tuesday that the "root causes" of the tragedy were U.S. actions.
"It was the U.S. that caused such an incident to take place," Iran's state-controlled news agency Tasnim quoted President Hassan Rouhani as saying. The Iranian regime has blamed the Trump administration for ratcheting up tensions with the controversial decision to kill senior Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani in a January 2 drone strike in Baghdad.

Well of course they blame us. CNN told them to.
“Just see what you made us do!”
That excuse did not work when somebody was four years old, and it certainly does not work now.
If the Iranian ayatollahs want to cry, give them something to cry about.
This is great news.
Now Democrats can be rightfully accused of being in agreement with the terrorist regime in Iran.
Blame America First.
Making Uncle Walter proud?
I see they got the fax from DNC Headquarters.
And SeeBS is happy to run with it!
Iran terrorists using Democrat talking points. How unique.
TOTAL BULL$HIT!
probably a gold platter, but otherwise 100% correcto mundo
I been feeling since the plane got shot down, it some how will have a Dem connection. It just seems like some thing Dems would have their hand inbehind the scenes or gave bad info to Iran and made them more spooked to react and cause bigger problems in what Trump was doing dealing with them.
Looks like the enemy has been reading the New York Times and congressional Dems for likely spin to get them off the hook
Well of course! They were given the go-ahead by the Democrats, our media and Mssr. Trudeau!
The Iranian regime is full of terrorists. So who is really to blame.
“If it weren’t so disgusting and troubling, it would be hilarious that the Iranians are channeling the American Left.”
I think it is the other way around.
You did not have to respond at all. The US has not. Why could not you ?
“Iran says U.S. bears blame for Iranian forces shooting down plane”
only after the Democrats made that claim first and gave the Iranians the idea ...
“I am sure The Washington Post and New York Times will agree with this assessment.”
agree? they gave the Iranians that idea by making that claim first ...
Yes, Yes, and lawful owners of firearms are responsible for gun violence of the criminals who use firearms.
The whole mental thought process of the left makes absolutely not sense.
They should have closed the friggin airspace to commercial traffic for longer than an hour or two while they blasted the Iraqi base.
It’s THEIR fault for not keeping the airspace closed.
And, a bit of blame has to go back to Ukraine Airlines for deciding to take off. Some other airlines cancelled their flights.
I admit the first I heard that “Trump was responsible” was from the Media here. I suspect the Iranians were still trying to find a way to deny they shot it down, and figured out that was going to be impossible.
