How about a link to a source?
Obama must have made the call to Amadmanjihadi...
I didn’t say cowardice, and if there was any it was from the top not the pilot (you can count on that).
Doubtful. China is a nuclear (and world) power and trading partner. Much caution was advised.
Iran, otoh, is an outlaw terorist regime with a relatively weak (and non-nuclear) military.
They won't be handled with kid gloves.
Only dedicated spook birds have a self-destruct. TR-2, etc. They'd never be able to get to one of those with manned aircraft.
FoxNews
“There is an update, but ...
we’ll get to that to you, after the break.”

FoxNews has its priorities.
Additional details coming up on FoxNews.

South Side? Isn’t that where Bad, Bad Leroy Brown was from?

Most likely a P-3 Orion; US Navy anti-submarine & maritime patrol plane. Crew of about 10.. Same type as China abducted a few years ago.
Oh Sweet Lord!!!! Please pray, pray, pray!!! This is NOT good.

US Airplane forced down in Iran? thank god Obama is willing to engage in direct presidential level negotiations, he will just got have coffee with ACHMEJENIDIDAND and solve this with friendly talking. (Sarcasm)
probably defecting after reading the polls and thinking Obama is going to win...
If the Chinese can force our planes down and look them over with no repercussions why wouldn’t the Iranians want to do the same............
Computers, folks, they cut them off. lol
Perhaps. Or, will political correctness take over once again. Of course, most believe Bush is just looking for a way to tangle with Iran.
Sure puts terrorism back on the table just in time for tonight. President "I'm a Nut Job" from Iran is proving to be the gift that keeps on giving.......
