      Pete Buttigieg wins the race to be the first major Democrat to blame Trump for Iran shooting down a civilian airliner flying out of Tehran.https://twitter.com/PeteButtigieg/status/1215349135991287809 …

      Innocent civilians are now dead because they were caught in the middle of an unnecessary and unwanted military tit for tat. My thoughts are with the families and loved ones of all 176 souls lost aboard this flight. https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1215319055147716609 …

      "Crossfire" seems to be the word of the day for helping Iran shift an equal share of the blame for its own, unilateral actions within its own airspace against a civilian airplane taking off from its own capital onto Donald Trump. https://twitter.com/Susan_Hennessey/status/1215364827599790082 …

      More "crossfire": whatabout 1988, as if that incident (for which the US apologized & paid compensation) involved a plane taking off from Dulles being shot down by the Navy over our own territory.https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1215377587746197504 …

      Civilians get caught in the crossfire of military confrontations, a fact and an intrinsic risk of all conflict. The fact that the US Navy accidentally shot down an Iranian civilian airliner 32 years ago calls for some humility about how such a thing could happen. https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1215373204493160449 …

      Imagine if the roles were reversed, and the US shot down an airliner from a US airport in US airspace, at a time when we were firing missiles & Iran was not shooting back: how many of these "crossfire" folks would be describing this as the result of a "crossfire" with Iran?

          "tit for tat" was the same phrase that Buttigieg used yesterday. Weird. https://twitter.com/NewDay/status/1215634798590472195 …

          Since Rouhani referenced the 290 killed on Iran Air Flight 655, isn’t it possible that this wasn’t even an accident?
