cool except thats not what happened
Cool , perhaps you could tell us what did happen.
Civilian ground and military tried to radio them a number of times without response 10 in fact with the situation heating up as it was, and still no response to ground or anyone else, they took action.
Immediately after the event, U.S. officials reported that the Iranian airliner had been rapidly descending and was headed toward the Vincennes. In addition, it was stated that Iran Air flight 655 was not within its normal route. However, a U.S. Navy report on July 28, 1988—released to the public in redacted form on August 19—refuted these claims. It concluded that the Iranian aircraft was actually ascending “within the established air route,” and it was traveling at a much slower speed than reported by the Vincennes. Furthermore, the airliner’s failure to communicate with the Vincennes was dismissed; in contact with two air control towers, the Iranian pilot was likely not checking the international air-distress channel. In the end, U.S. officials concluded that it was “a tragic and regrettable accident.” In explaining how the state-of-the-art cruiser had misidentified Iran Air flight 655, authorities cited “stress…and unconscious distortion of data.

Why would I bother to mention it, if it not happened to me? But the topic is about the cabal BUSH and sorry if I derailed it.. (sort of).
Just wanted to mention his infamous arrogant words… " I don't care what the facts are... I'm not an apologize-for-America kind of guy ".

I think we all knew he wasn't too far off from Barbara .
While I wasn't particular a fan of his policy or dynasty.... Him and Barbara did seem wholesome.
No matter your opinion. A death is a death, family members detached of politics feel greif and deserve our tact.
As countrymen, anyone deserves such.
Tonight my prayers (for lack of better terms) are with dubya and everyone related. I could give a chit less if I like him. I love my family and can empathize with him tonight.

It's one thing to be indifferent, it's another to be happy and dance on a grave. When you become that which you hate you are no better.
Become what you hate ? By dancing on a grave ? GWB Sr. did much much more than dance on graves. The man was despicable.
And you may be to others, may others be more charitable in your death than you were to others in life

Trust me, others will not be charitable in my death , just like they have not been charitable to me in my life, and I have not remotely come close to sinning against humanity like he did.
I certainly won’t get accolades like he is, and he doesn’t deserve them , in my opinion.
The best I can do is pray for his pathetic soul, and I fear it is too late for prayers to help.
