Glad to know our government is backing these jihadists. Last I knew shooting at, shooting down, hijacking or bombing an airplane was considered terrorism.
It's only terrorism if they are doing it to 'our' side. Otherwise, they are freedom fighters... this week.
What a deal we need to pick who we back better or make sure if they screw up they are no longer going to be backed in any way by the US.
Not sure why they even have airliners in that part of the world. Who wants to go to hell anyway??

They should consider themselves lucky enough to have their wheels shot out! hell that was nice of them
Well, they said it was a warning shot.LOL
