It is one thing for critics to question the politicians’, including President Trump, rationale for supporting the war with Iran, but Comedy Central’s Michael Kosta began his week hosting The Daily Show on Tuesday by going several steps further and mocking U.S. Air Force pilots and Kuwaiti air defenders for a friendly fire accident that downed three F-15s.
Kosta introduced a clip of CNN’s John Berman by sarcastically declaring, “But you know what? I'm sure that, mass evacuations aside, the rest of the war is going great.”
In the clip, Berman reported how "U.S. Central Command says three fighter jets were shot down by friendly fire from Kuwaiti forces. CENTCOM says all six crew members aboard the jets ejected were safely recovered and are in stable condition.”
