I don't think that I would want to be on any plane at any altitude over Iraq.... Not unless they were dropping large items out of their bellies that is.. :)
Higher then a 70,000ft out of date missile?
So far, there is no evidence of anything there but the shoulder fired stingers, which max out around 10 grand. That said, sure as heck now, somebody else will bring in something else to the theater.
Didn't seem to help MH17 at FL33 did it?
Let's apply the same over O'Hare......
What? Couldn't find a pic of a U.S. air carrier?
Faux News isn't real journalism - it appears they lifted the text straight from the Wall Street Journal rather than writing their own story.
I hate to break the "news" (since 2007) to you but both are owned by News Corp and have pool reporting since 2009 through NewsCore. They have no need to write their own story when they are part of the same organization? News Corp also owns Sky News and the New York Post along with a gaggle of other news outlets and TV networks.
And a recent study was done with hundreds of hours of compiled data from the major cable news outlets on truth in media. Fox lies 55% of the time. MSNBC comes in second with 35% lies. No wonder Americans have no clue what's going on.
Sad part is, I can remember when they told the truth and let the chips fall instead of just being a politicians lapdog.
So do I. Maybe it was a sort of golden age of reporting.
Looking further back, it is interesting to read some of the 19th century copy of yellow journalism. Hearst's comment to a photographer before the Spanish American War was you get me the pictures, I give you the war.
sheep have such a short attention span.
