was that US Drone that the Iranians shot down It wasn't "shot down." IIRC, it landed nicely and intact on an Iranian airstrip.
The 0b0z0 in chief should have bombed the drone to smithereens hours before the Iranian knew that it landed somewhere in Iran.
Instead, the apologist-in-chief asked Ahmadi-Nejad to return the drone. IIRC, Ahmadi-Nejad sent 0b0z0 a picture of it, effectively telling him to go pound sand!

My theory is it was one of the weapons we were trying to locate in Libya that ended up getting our people assassinated over there.

If Obama was president during WWII he would have airlifted Zyklon B to Birkenau if they ran low.
And yet the Jews will still vote for him.

The article says the drone was first spotted over the Mediterranean near Hamas -controlled Gaza. It was brought down over a wooded area in Israel’s Negev.

You’re right, I heard from pilots that the drone’s controls were intercepted, allowing for the Iranians to fly the drone right to them, so, who gave the Iranians the info to intercept and take over the controls? Jarret is Iranian, and Huma’s family would love to have a drone for their brotherhood!

The
Jerusalem Post is reporting that "IDF ground forces collected the fragments of the UAV and have begun analyzing them".
