256 Die in Tragic Terrorist Attack

It went on to describe the events earlier that week and inquired if the White House had been up front with all the details. It quoted the Press Secretary, “It was a painful decision to give the order, however the lives of our American men and women are a first priority. It is the president’s sworn duty to protect its citizens and the military personnel that protect us. To say the least, the event was extraordinary and it was our forces that were the target of this unwarranted attack upon the Fifth Fleet.”

When he was asked about the Iranians role in the incident he responded, “The Iran Air Flight 645 was of course a commercial aircraft from their country and they did respond as best they could, however our forces detected it a few minutes sooner and arrived on the scene with four Super Hornets. The Iranian forces were allowed to inspect the aircraft over the Arabian Sea and allowed our forces to continue the mission—which of course was to destroy the target on the president’s order.”

When questioned about the nature of the Iranians and the Americans working together in the joint mission he had an answer. “I am allowed to tell you that there were some tense moments and that the Iranians were prepared to the best of our knowledge to bring down the plane. We do not know that for sure, but it was the only recourse for anyone on the scene. Regrettably the nature of taking hostages is that when it ends tragically as it did in this instance, the hostages end up as the victims and die. The president’s feeling was that our forces earned priority in the mission in that it was quickly determined that the USS George H.W. Bush was indeed the target. Had the target been an Iranian super carrier, I would think the president would have acted much differently and would have ordered our forces to stand down at the appropriate time. In the end it was a rare joint effort by countries that are often at odds with one another.”

The article went on to say that from all appearances based upon the extensive internet coverage of the tragedy that the Iranians may very well have been content to see the USS H.W. George Bush sent to the bottom of the sea.

Robinson used the remote to turn up the volume on the TV. King Faraj, King of Saudi Arabia was speaking. “…and it was indeed unfortunate for the tragedy in the international waters of the Arabian Sea. Some sort of protocol must be formulated for occurrences such as this. A committee should be formed to study this problem and recommendations could be brought to the Assembly for a vote. My country has officially condemned the USA for its part in the incident and it is unfortunate there is not some sort of retribution that should be made to the families of the Iranian victims. I would propose a figure but leave that to others.
