News World news Iran Iran shoots down US drone Iranian military official quoted as warning of crushing response after unmanned spy plane is shot down reddit this Associated Press in Tehran guardian.co.uk, Sunday 4 December 2011 12.14 EST Article history US drone aircraft Iran's military said it had shot down the US drone near the country's eastern border. Photograph: Ethan Miller/Getty Images Iran's armed forces have shot down an unmanned US spy plane that violated Iranian airspace along its eastern border. An unidentified military official quoted by the official Irna news agency on Sunday warned of a crushing response to any violations of Iranian airspace by US drone aircraft. "An advanced RQ170 unmanned American spy plane was shot down by Iran's armed forces. It suffered minor damage and is now in possession of Iran's armed forces," Irna quoted the official as saying. No further details were given. Iran is locked in a dispute with the US and its allies over Tehran's alleged nuclear programme, which the west believes is aimed at developing nuclear weapons. Iran denies the accusations, saying the programme is designed to generate electricity and produce isotopes for medical use. Tehran said in January it had shot down two other unmanned spy planes over its airspace which were operated by the US. Iran itself has focused part of its military strategy on producing drones, both for reconnaissance and offensive purposes. It announced three years ago that it had built an unmanned aircraft with a range of more than 600 miles, far enough to reach Israel. The Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, unveiled Iran's first domestically built unmanned bomber in August 2010, calling it an "ambassador of death" to Iran's enemies.

If true, isn't the US committing an act of war??
Oh. But, is not the whole world our airspce.
Now the story is, no kidding, "We were wondering where that drone went to after we lost control of it during an Afgan mission".
Uh, Tom? Not to be picky mind you, but the swiveling head was cute in one or two posts but has now become a distraction. It does not add to your otherwise salient points, but detracts. Submitted For Your Consideration in all of the humility I am known for, OI Thank you "The 'uniter' has brought the entire world together - to despise and deride us." Lod
You are most welcome.
Made me laff. Made me laff. Pleased to give you a chuckle. And thank you for your kind acknowledgment. deleted

That's what kept me from posting a slutty domnatrix picture the other day on that other thread. I couldn't find one in between - they were either too tame or hokey or too explicit. ;-) deleted

I think it should be about 3 times bigger! (Of course I normally have taglines turned off, so might detract from my opinion.....).
Hmmm? Somehow I do suspect that, that might figure into it. ;-) The U.S. can do no wrong. Thanks E, I was forgetting, Captain America and Wonder Women is what the USG is all about. Thanks for the wake up call. Going to go to Wall Mart and buy a plasma TV watch Fox News and bitch about how Merika doesn't make anything anymore. Dittos. Really?? I disagree. I think it should be about 3 times bigger! Thanks P, even when I first posted the silly gif and saw the size, I knew it was short term. Unless Newt is Prez. Then I will post this GIF on everyones wall paper and retina forever in HD TV. deleted

Newt's wife Crystilla or something. Along with the Tiffany account for $500,000. These pols never pay the taxes they impose on the 99% deleted
