Holy Cow History

"Never believe the news," I used to say when I was 21. "A few years later, the truth will come out. The New York Times' banner should read, 'All the news that will be proven false a few years hence'." I was a wise ass then.

Check out this amazing history of an Iranian passenger flight loaded with pilgrims from Hajj being shot down in cold blood by a U.S. warship illegally treading into Iranian waters. Don't remember that, you say? Well, the 11th of July was the 20-year anniversary of that event.

Most of the truth of it came out by 1992, but conveniently, it's been forgot by our current White House inhabitants (to say nothing of our Congress and our citizenry as a whole).

Read all about it:
