Tehran has flaunted the drone's capture as a victory for Iran and a defeat for the United States in a complicated intelligence and technological battle.

Just an innocent mistake, after all he has in important holiday vacation to make happen, no one here should blame him fo this, he is only human.

Besides Glen Beck is fat and he cries too much.

To continue to promote the idea that any of the things happening to our country is the work of one man or one party will be fatal to the republic.
