General differs with Trump on Iran's intent to harm US.

Head of the FAA on the sgt report.

OK thanks.  I could not hear any audio but that's ok.  I got the gist of it.  That was American FAA telling US commercial planes not to fly in that area.  

Now I read that there were several other commerical planes that took off from the same airfield. But they were not US commerical airliners. They were from other countries. So why did the Iranians allow those planes to take off and not shoot them down. Then when the plane from Ukraine took off they shot it down.  So that is why I wondered who was on the plane flying to Ukraine.  Russian and Iran are working together and we all know that Russian is waring with Ukraine.  That is why I asked who was on that plane that got shot down.  Sometimes countries will want to kill someone and instead of taking that one person out they will down an entire airplane to make it look like an accident just to take out one of the plane's passengers.  That has happened in the past. Thus my wondering who were the passengers on that plane that got shot down. Anyone on that plane that the Russians or Iranians wanted dead? Or did the Iranians surface to air missile operators just screw up?

After they fired missiles at us, the most appropriate "de-escalation" would have been to bomb them until they have no functioning military capabilities left.


That would be great if we could take out all their thousands of ballistic missiles and their portable launchers.  Right now we have no way to knock those ballistic missiles out of the sky before they hit our people. We have thousands of US people in the middle east within range of those Iranian Ballistic Missiles and their mobile launchers.  Now if we can take them all out and not endanger our unprotected troops then I say go for it. But right now the troops in those Iraqi Airbases have no antimissile protection.  And I'm not sure we want to put our antimissile missiles in Iraq where they could be captured by the Iraqi.  Remember that Iraq's parliament voted to kick all foreign military out of Iraq. 


The only way that we could practically guarantee that Iran would not be able to shoot their ballistic missiles at those airbases is to wipe them out with nukes and we are not about to do that. We have to use conventional weapons to get the job done. Those mobile launchers can be moved anywhere and hiden underground until they are fueled up and ready to fire.  I'm not sure how long it takes those ballistic missiles to reach from iran to their targets but we would have to build some better underground shelters at those airbases to ensure that we don't get our us troops killed . We need to give our men and women in Iraq some better protection from those big ballistic missiles before we start a war.  Unless you want to allow them to be expendable?  We have half our US Aircraft Carriers out of action right now. 6 of them are being refueled or repaired and not able to sail right now. The Harry S Truman just did a 9 month long tour when it's normal tour is only 6 months. It had to stay out on tour longer as the other carriers were not yet ready to take it's place. We have a back log of ships in need of repairs that can't get into the dry docks due to slower repair times of our ships.  They are building a new dry dock at Pearl but it will take a years to get that done. That will help speed up the ships repairs.  

Are we sure? I seen 10 minutes to 4 hours. All I know there was a video of the rockets taking off and hitting the plane.  It was during the same time and near the end.  Hard to tell with the delay in reporting.  Some armature took it.

Read the find print when you open video... click on video says it all there!

US missile defense system in action during the missile attack Using Simulator.
Simulation is realistic modelling, as much as is possible, of events in reality1. In order to better comprehend simulation, it is beneficial to have a good understanding of the terms ‘modelling’ and ‘system’. According to P. Sanchez , a ‘system’ is a set of elements interacting with each other, and a ‘model’ is a system which can be used as a surrogate for another system. Therefore, simulation is the process of using a model or models to study the behaviour of a system or system of systems.
This concept is helpful to avoid damages. This idea is from video game, not a real scenario , I hope you will like it.






That is a Computer Simulation.  And there were no Patriot Missiles at the Iraqi Airbase where the American's were stationed.  Therefore the American's had no defense against those Iranian Ballistic Missiles that hit the airbase in the American Sector.  All the Americans could do was to take shelter in the concrete bunkers on the base. Those bunkers were built during Iran vs Iraq war some 20 years ago.


My question still stands. Why did the US not have any anti-missile systems at these airbases?  We knew that Iran had ballistic missiles and we knew that Iran was going to attack the Americans in Iraq.  And the guys that flew the drone that killed Soleimani were housed at that airbase in Iraq.  They were the prime target of Iran's wrath. Why did we not see that and make preparations to protect our people better.
