According to US government accounts, the American ship mistakingly identified the Iranian airplane as an attacking military jet. According to the same reports the American ship tried more than once to contact Flight 655, but there was no acknowledgement. At 9:54am, with the civilian jet about 10 miles away, the Americans fired SM-2 antiaircraft missiles. One broke the plane into two halves and also damaged the plane's tail and right wing sections. Only afterwards it was realised that the plane had indeed been a civilian airliner.

you need to research your position a bit John. |
What? Do you think that the flight 655 disaster wasn't a mistake? And if not why are you bringing it up?
You know full well that John didn't mean that in the absolute. Why bring it up? I'm puzzled.
With posts like this your motives seem shakey. Do you want to
play judge and jury to this incident, as well, now?

What? I sincerely hope that you are kidding, and if so I wish you wouldn't kid like that, it's very demented to kid about something like this. And if you're not kidding, then may I suggest that you are indeed simply demented.
dementia = not usually a good thing.
Do you actually consider this demented post debate?
oh well other people are posting crap too...
Oh... ok well... carry on then.
