"The Tu-154...."

The probable cause itself.

[dfwgator]

Iran has said the U.S. stance on spare parts endangered the lives of innocent passengers.

What, they couldn't get parts from their pals ze French? They harbored the Ayatollah for 15 years, what's a few spare parts?

Got milk?

[Chad Fairbanks]

Yeah, I saw that a few minutes ago... ;0)

[ET(end tyranny)]

I take it that means that you can't verify or prove your earlier statement?

[ET(end tyranny)]

What's interesting is that the two articles that mention the US making things difficult for obtaining spare parts came from the BBC and the AP.

The article from the Islamic News Agency doesn't make this allegation.

"Very unfortunate and regret the death of innocents, BUT maybe if Iran took a closer look at their foreign policy......"

Rock on man!

[BrooklynGOP]

What's there to prove? You have millions of Iranians yelling "Death to America", statistically it is very possible that some of them were on that plane. Is that not plausible.. Like I said before, my heart goes out to the innocents who died, but maybe if Iran took a closer look at their foreign policy...

[in the Arena]

Yeah, I was slow to reply...

Well it looks like some of those who "celebrated the deaths of our innocent citizens on 9/11" were on that plane...

Without 'knowing' WHO was on the plane, and comparing that list with a list of KNOWN celebrants from the WTC disaster, you cannot ASSUME anything.

Too late now for you to cover your sorry butt.

You know and I know the fastest way to get these a-holes to call off their dogs is to but em on notice they don't have a monopoly on henious acts. It's ruthless, uncivilized and it works. I seriously doubt it is the case here but what other response works when their modus is to blame attacks against us on shadowy terrorists? That's like a gunman hiding behind women and children. Godspeed US military.

[Lazamataz]

thin the herd..................

Oh, if you liked that, you'll LOVE this: They put razor blades in they eyes of the children of that plane on the way down, just to make it more painful. And then they set fire to all the women's breasts. And they rubbed salt and kerosene into open wounds they created just for the purpose. After all, all Iranians are animals and are to be tortured as well as killed, right?

Seek help.

[kinghorse]

Oh and the timing is quite curious. The same day as credible reports of new terror in the US. I say this should give someone over there cause to pause and circumspectually analyze their tactics. Shoe bombers like Reid can make our planes drop and no state is held liable? Sorry that won't feed our bulldog any more. Too bad for Iran.

Without 'knowing' WHO was on the plane, and comparing that list with a list of KNOWN celebrants from the WTC disaster, you cannot ASSUME anything.

You are implying that there is a "list of KNOWN celebrants". Is your implication plausible?

Too late now for you to cover your sorry butt.

What makes you think that I am covering my "sorry butt", seems like you are the only one who has a problem with what I said.

[ET(end tyranny)]

Perhaps you have not been reading all the posts. No, I am not the only one that has a problem with your and others 'tacky' comments. But, you can ASSUME that, all you want, if it makes you feel better.

Several MPs have called for the resignation or impeachment of Iran's Transport Minister, Ahmad Khorram, following a plane crash with 117 aboard in a mountainous region near the western city of Khorramabad early Tuesday morning.

Ya gotta give these guys credit for one thing - they hold their bureaucrats responsible for the job they are supposed to be doing. Plane crashes - fire the transport minister's a**. Now what does the US do to hold the various agency heads responsible? Cover for them.

"Perhaps you have not been reading all the posts. No, I am not the only one that has a problem with your and others 'tacky' comments."

Rest assured the folks who live in NYC take a dim view to the radical Islamists over in Tehran publically inciting their people to hate the US and it's people. I say they reap what they sow. Iran - Tone down the rhetoric, atone for prior rhetoric or live in fear of what we may do next. I am proud of or non-PC government and the tactics they are most likely contemplating to get these radicals to wipe the froth from their ugly mouths.

Yep. Blame it on birds, or pilot error, the pilot must have done something to make the tail fall off! yeah right!
