This is not the first time that the Iranians have used their own people on an airliner to create an international incident to place at the foot of the U.S. military. In this one there was too much "international focus" on the location to get away with it.
Barley....."our media"? The LameStreamMedia believes and reports ANYTHING that damns Trump or white washes the enemies of the U.S. as long as Trump is in office. So, of course, they'll "take the word" of the most prolific terrorist State in the World .... Obaminable DID! And handed them a bunch of cash!
