President Plane Crash Loses 3 F-15 Strike Eagles In Kuwait

The U.S. military said on Monday that Kuwait "mistakenly shot down" thee American F-15E Strike Eagles during a combat mission as Iran attacked the country. The U.S. military's Central Command said the combat included attacks from Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles and drones -- the first time Iran's aging combat fleet has been engaged in the war. "The U.S. Air Force fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses," it said. "All six aircrew ejected safely, have been safely recovered, and are in stable condition. Kuwait has acknowledged this incident, and we are grateful for the efforts of the Kuwaiti defense forces and their support in this ongoing operation."

Those pilots are woke for getting shot down.

Glad our aircrew is OK.

The cost of a single F-15E Strike Eagle is approximately $70 to $80 million each.

No world class universal healthcare for Americans like enjoyed by the residents of Israel, Germany, Canada, Taiwan, the UK, Greenland, and tiny Albania, but billions of dollars for a war that won't help a farmer in Iowa, a truck driver in Pennsylvania, a mechanic in Georgia, a mailman in Michigan, a school teacher in the Bronx, a firefighter in Illinois, or a nurse in Ohio.


The Texas primary is tomorrow and young master James Talarico (D) holds a four point lead over Jasmine "AIPAC" Crockett (D-TX-30) in their contest for the US Senate.

Dummkopf Trumpf referred to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and President George H.W. Bush (R) as "losers" because they were shot down in battle. (4 Sep 2020)

The loss of three is a disaster.

War is always a roll of the dice.

You'd have thought that George W. Trump had done all that he could to prove that to us.

Now comes Donald W. Bush.

A single $30,000 drone blew up a $1,000,000,000 radar installation

Every day the number of interceptor munitions gets used up. How long before they run low allowing a lot of drones to get through? The wide range of Iranian targets is very worrisome. No military in the world can defend everywhere

Turns out that Donald W. Bush started this war with low munitions stocks.

And he, um, knew about that beforehand.

And yet, even this morning, Donald W. Bush is peaking of "boots on the ground" in Iran.

Boots on the ground? To do what exactly?

And how many boots? Of memory serves it took George W. Trump almost a year to build an invasion of Kuwait.
