There were at least 5 crew members on the refueling plane that crashed in Iraq. Krasnov is saying it was an accident, Iran is saying it brought it down. Normally I would believe what our president tells us but we have an idiot dictator in charge.

Not hearing any word on the fate of the crew yet scares me that they may not have survived the crash.
