WASHINGTON -- An Iranian attack aircraft fired at least twice at an unarmed U.S. drone conducting routine surveillance in international airspace over the Persian Gulf, the Pentagon said Thursday. The aircraft missed and the drone returned to base unharmed.

Little said the drone was about 16 miles off the Iranian coast when the Russian-made SU-25 Frogfoot warplane intercepted it and opened fire. He said it was the first time an unmanned U.S. aircraft was shot at in international airspace over the Gulf.
"Our aircraft was never in Iranian air space. It was always flying in international air space," Little told Pentagon reporters. "The United States has communicated to the Iranians that we will continue to conduct surveillance flights over international waters over the Arabian Gulf, consistent with longstanding practice and our commitment to the security of the region."

Another incident with Iran involving live fire and drones.
Hopefully this is the last of few incidents that occurs.
 
Yeah so, about those unintended consequences of using drones ...

They also heard the Iranians saying... "testing, testing... Obama you have any balls? Testing... testing..."

"Hopefully this is the last of few incidents that occurs"? LOL... these folks have only begun... they know they've got numbnuts in the WH... now it's time to have some fun.
You have to understand... these people don't care... they're fanatical; they hate the US as much as they hate the Jews.
 
They clearly missed on purpose, otherwise they would be showed up by the Israeli's.

Yea like imposing the most harsh sanctions in the history of our country is not "balls" :roll:
Yes because we all know if anyone other than Obama was in office we would be doing some badass **** right now :roll:

Here's a primer on dealing with terrorists from someone who advised a couple presidents during the Iranian Hostage Crisis and predicted to the minute when they would be released. How is it possible? He knows these people... that's how.

I thought they could seize the controls and land it themself.

hahaha
 
Except cripple an economy, and hurt people within that nation.. :roll:


Beats me..
And... do you think they give a damn about people struggling? Do you?

This is a Crusade. Its not a democracy... the people can eat sand for all they care... so long as they have enough thugs and the nuke program keeps rolling on... Allah Akbar buddy.
 
so what? let them shoot it down. this is why we use drones. when one dies, no one is sad, not to mention Northrop Grumman and General Atomics are more than happy to take an order for another one, and there's no family to write a sad letter to. keep it up, iran!

Let me guess. You voted for Obama?

It was flying over international waters, or do small details like that not matter to you?

How should we respond?

My point was that people are reacting to the presence of US drones, it's only gonna continue.

They broke international law, and deserve to be nuked into the prehistoric age, what else? :mrgreen:
 
How should we respond?

I think we should bow, give I'minajihad a big bear hug, sit down with him and his Mullah's or the Mullah's and their puppet and ask them what they would like and how fast we can deliver it to them.

What specifically are these unique sanctions that Obama masterminded that have never been used before?

Are you saying if the US was using "manned" recon planes Iran would not have fired (reacted) at the plane in international waters?

Seems to me, Iran is trying to provoke a response (military) from the US.
 
Sanctions do nothing.

You blasted Obama for that.

Especially since the election is over and Obama has more flexibility.
