Iran has nothing to fear from us... we`ll whimper momentarily in weak protest, but that`s about it. They`ll be back at it again soon.

The Iranians needn`t worry,.. we aren`t that fearsome anymore.

Of course. This was predictable, as is the next terrorist attack on our soil.

We have an emasculated president who has neither the knowledge, experience, nor wherewithal to deal with a terrorist attack.

They know they’re safe from retaliation.

Drones are a real lousy way to do war. Some say that 80% of the casualties are innocent civilians. I probably would have shot it down if I were an Iranian.

Is there really any point in watching any news? Reading about this b******* is bad enough but then having liberal talking points for thrown in my face in addition is something that I will not stand for any longer.
We need a solid strategy of combating the propaganda press. If I knew what to do, I’d be offering up ideas. However, I feel frustrated and overwhelmed by the “news” that is spoon fed to the unsuspecting masses of idiots .
Does anyone know a site or a place where I can go to find out what sponsors to boycott in accordance with the propagandists they support?

Just keep right on lying to us don’t they? Obama thinks WE are as stupid as the people who voted for him.

Why do you need Israel when you run this huge country called the USA?

2 pilots out for a joy ride I’m sure if the wanted to bring it down it would have been so!
If not that lets Israel know Iranian pilots are not good in a dog fight!
We used to train the Iranian pilots in the 70’s!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Yep, also Su-25s involved are dedicated close air support aircraft. I don’t think their HUDs has mode to engage aerial targets.

Thanks Raebie.
Pentagon spokesman George Little said. He said the unarmed, unmanned drone was conducting "routine surveillance" when it was "intercepted" by Iran. He said the drone was not in Iranian airspace.

The number of serious news events that were buried for the weeks leading up to the election is stunning.

Benghazi, Lockheed-Martin layoffs, Boeing layoffs, layoffs announced at several other major companies, attack on our drone over international waters.

Goebbels had nothing...NOTHING on these players.

This Chicago crowd, they are the real champs at scumbag, dirty, cover-up, intimidation, graft politics.

America is heading towards becoming Venezuela. The press is already in the pocket of the ruling party. Their are serious questions about the integrity of the electronic voting systems. Amnesty will be granted to millions of illegals who will all dutifully vote for the Dems. I firmly believe that this was the last best chance for America to stop the slide into oblivion. With an unrestrained Obama, that slide will accelerate in the next few years at a pace that will be shocking.

I agree.

I believe this election was stolen with the highest-tech fraud this country has ever seen.

I believe votes cast for Romney were digitally converted to Obammie the Commie.

Iran fired at US drone, Pentagon says (Nov. 1)>>>>>

Alternate headline:

“Pentagon Bristles at Drone Attack but Fails to Save the Benghazi Four.”

Save the Drone and Manage the Tone spin.

If the Pentagon can’t operationally protect a US mission abroad, we done, done folks.Its all in but for the cryin’.

We have the equivalent of Adolf Hitler micromanagement of our military, courtesy of Barak Insane Obama.( How dare they attack one of Barrack’s dones, as he plays with the toggle board back in Washington)

“Iran fired at US drone, Pentagon says (Nov. 1)”

Obama has apologized to the Iranians for America projecting its ill-gotten power by using drones near Iran. Says it won't happen again, offers to compensate the Iranians for any inconvenience and human rights violations America may have caused their Dear Country!
