Find a quote where they shot down missiles?
I wait for that quote where i said Iran fired 100 missiles.

woohoo!!!

A sigh of relief. Trump can when he wants to, do the statesman thing. He has got what he wanted, their top general gone. The mullahs also got a lot of what they wanted, a martyr to unify Iranians and a strike at their enemy. Both sides treaded around each other and then backed off, the prospect of war that neither side wanted, for now.

A lot has been made about Iraq demanding US troops withdrawl, trumps threat to destroy iranian cultural sites and sanctiins on Iraq, and the Ukranian plane incident.

US troops are not going anywhere for now, not cos of sticking it to uppity Iraq but cos it makes sense to retain a military base in a strategic location. After some time has passed and things have quietened down, there'll be a draw down of some troops which will mollify Iraq.

Trumps comments about cultural sites and sanctions on Iraq, were typical of his temper and bluster style. He will have seen that doing the statesman routine, make a him look a lot better. He won't admit his mistake, pretty much like a lot of politicians.

Anyone claiming to know what and how it happened with the plane incident in less than 24 hours are just projecting. It's far too early to make any sort of conclusions, so I'll leave it there. A lot of civilians unfortunately lost their life, no more to be said really at this time than RIP and condolences.

Where the 100 missiles fired quote?
That quote belongs to Fox News reporter, that multiple bases across Iraq got struck.
She reported three bases, two turned out to be accurate.

Its obvious that the American missile defences utterly failed and proved itself to be just expensive junk, and that is the reason there was no American response to the strikes.
The suit of armour they thought they were wearing turned out to be a suit of tissue paper.
The fact the Iranian missiles got through meant that any war with Iran would be a long and costly affair in lives and machines with no guarantee of victory.
Just think of it Iran would be hitting every American base in the region day and night with precision missile strikes.

As for the real damage Iran caused in this strike we will probably never know as I doubt any journalists will be allowed in to view the "minimal damage".
One thing is certain those hangers destroyed weren't housing chickens!
As for casualties again we may never know...if there were American any dead they can likely be shipped back home and their families informed they died in 'vehicle accidents'.

There was a suspiciously high number number of Americans died in "vehicle accidents" during the Iraq insurgency years.

On the wider geopolitical level the failure of American missile defences leaves them looking vulnerable and naked...if they cannot stop Iran's missiles, then they haven't a hope in hell of intercepting Russia and China's hypersonic missle systems.

Come off it.

You are fooling no one.

Not even yourself.


With all the supposition you have posted here if you had the slightest hint that just one had been intercepted you would ba all over it like a rash.


Actually if any had been intercepted then the amount that got through would not say much for those shiny gadgets you were waving around either.

He can't find that quote Where I said Iran fired 100 missiles.
I read a tweet from a Fox Reporter as the event was happening, and she said three bases were under an attack by ballistic missiles.
If three bases are getting attacked by missiles, i expected a massive attack was happening.
I did take into account the Iranians would try to avoid US casualties. We learned later the Iraqis were told an hour before the strike, Iran would be firing missiiles just after 1am.


That true, he claims interceptions but will not post info about it!

You claimed I said 100 missiles fired by Iran, read your posts ( just another lie) When I posted last night in regards numbers I quoted Iran and US officials.

Post the truncated post of mine that you ill mannerly cut to one line and then I will treat you like an adult.

I know a little bit about this subject, I created the thread. I have avoided contributing further due to the amount of nonsense that has been posted. But claiming that PS752 wasn't downed by Iran is just ludicrous. American fighters had been scrambled from UAE, Iranian air defences were on high alert. A three year old 737 that was serviced two days previously falls out of the sky. And you are insinuating that it's a coincidence! Fcukin hell.

You make everyone dizzy. You just believed twenty minutes ago i said last night Iran fired 100 missiles, and I asked for the quote. 
I posted the tweets from Fox News reporter, to prove you to be again inaccurate about other things i said.

Anyway this is pointless childish back and forth.

Very long winded for a simple no I cannot answer your two simple questions.


Sorry your honour I can't answer the questions as I would be incriminating myself.

The MH17 debris field also looks small when you view the images. Later other debris was found over a much wider area.

Who's to say that other debris hasn't been located much further afield. But certainly the bulk in both cases is in a small area

Because there's a video of the plane hitting the ground and a major explosion afterwards.

Ireland is far more dependent on oil that the US. Moreover we are far more economically dependent on the US than Iran. Your anti American position is ridiculous.

The first sentence is totally false. I agree with your second point, not sure how it’s relevant. I’m not anti American I love America. I have family there and I visit fairly regularly.

Fair enough, but by refusing to answer you are admitting you were wrong none-the-less.
