How the US plays the double standard ! And how WE FUCKING LIE !


WE CALL THIS BARBARIC !!!!!

There is little disagreement about the basic facts of the KAL
tragedy. On September 1, 1983, a Korean Air Lines Boeing 747 deviated
from its planned flightpath from Anchorage to Seoul by hundreds of
miles, flying over the Kamchatka peninsula and then Sakhalin Island.2
Soviet air defenses tracked KAL-007 over Kamchatka, finally
intercepting it over Sakhalin Island, where it was shot down by a
Soviet Su-15 interceptor just before exiting Soviet airspace.

Interpretations of the facts vary widely. The U.S. government
maintained that KAL-007 had inadvertently strayed from its flightpath,
that the Soviets had intercepted and identified the aircraft as a
civilian airliner, and destroyed it nonetheless. According to the
U.S.,the aircraft was not on an intelligence mission, and was not
coordinated with other U.S. operations in the area that night.3

President Reagan called the shootdown a "barbaric act" and imposed
limited sanctions on the Soviet Union.

WE CALL THIS AN ACCIDENT !!!!!

Iran Air Flight 655 (IR655) was a commercial flight operated by Iran
Air, that flew on a Tehran-Bandar Abbas-Dubai route. On July 3, 1988,
the flight was shot down by USS Vincennes on the Bandar Abbas-Dubai
leg, which resulted in 290 civilian fatalities from six nations
including 66 children. There were 38 non-Iranians aboard.

The first leg of the flight went as planned, and the plane, an Airbus
A300B2, registered EP-IBU, left Bandar Abbas at 10:17am that day, 27
minutes after its scheduled departure time of 09:50am. It would have
been a 28-minute flight. At that same time, the U.S. Navy guided
missile cruiser, USS Vincennes, fitted with the AEGIS combat system,
was nearby in the Strait of Hormuz, which the commercial airliner,
flown by captain Mohsen Rezaian, would pass over. In command of
Vincennes was Commander William C. Rogers III. At the time of the
incident, Vincennes, in support of Operation Earnest Will, was within
Iranian territorial waters, following combat with and pursuit of
Iranian gunboats. The USS Sides and the USS Elmer Montgomery were
nearby.

What happened thereafter is still subject to debate.

Independent sources

Independent investigations into the events have presented a different
picture. John Barry and Roger Charles, of Newsweek, wrote that
Commander Rogers acted recklessly and without due care. Their report
further accused the U.S. government of a cover-up.[3] An analysis[4]
of the events by the International Strategic Studies Association
described the deployment of an Aegis cruiser in the zone as
irresponsible and felt that the expense of the ship had played a major
part in the setting of a low threshold for opening fire. On November
6, 2003 the International Court of Justice concluded that the U.S.
Navy's actions in the Persian Gulf at the time had been unlawful.

Three years after the incident, Admiral William Crowe admitted on
Nightline that the Vincennes was inside Iranian territorial waters at
the time of the shoot-down. This directly contradicted the official
Navy claims of the previous years.
