When Mr. Bill sent missiles to blow up OBL a call was made to Pakistan to let them know that the missiles were not from India.

It did ! Reading a bit more..... " When Carlson [commanding officer of the USS Sides which was nearby] concluded that the Vincennes was referring to IR655 when making its warning to turn away or receive fire ( on a military frequency only - my comment ) he urgently warned IR655 on a civilian freqency that it was in danger, having been mistaken for a military craft and should turn away. IR655 immediately complied and changed course onto a trajectory away from the Vincennes. The Vincennes fired regardless. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655#Independent_sources Graham

How fragile that sounds. I don't think anyone does actually. It is however a sign of the failure of some percentage of the Muslim community to integrate into the wider society. Graham

In the fictionalized story they showed on ABC some time back they had this as a plot element. Much like the rumor being started that the russians had silent subs after "Hunt or Red October" got published, some of the plot lines from that story have crept into the culture as accepted fact. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge |
