"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 …

Josh MarshallVerified account @joshtpmCivilians 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 …1 reply 14 retweets 55 likesShow this thread -
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?
