Like drones are not there to kill people...less than 24 hours after winning re election Obama was back to using drones to murder people in Yemen. You act like the US is innocent and Iran is the bad person...the US government is the one slaughtering civilians in Pakistan,Yemen among other places with drones.
Why should we be debriefed on every single skirmish or incident that occurs somewhere in the world? What if we are testing their radar and weapons capabilities? How would a radar detecting a drone know if it was armed or not? What if Iran intentionally missed the drone as a show of force? There are a million questions that you should consider before jumping to conclusions.
You have to understand the relatively limited space in the area. Space is fairly confined so the difference between international air space and Iran’s is very slim. It's not like sitting in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight.
LOL So this is what transparency looks like. Another four years of "transparency". How convenient that this was kept quiet until after the election. Not that it would have changed things but you never know.
And of course, I expect we did nothing in response. Not asking for war, but to allow Iran to do this and do nothing? Weak.
I'll give this one to the POTUS. We really should have taken the SU-25s out. Too bad the Predators weren't armed with AAMs.
"two Iranian SU-25–old Russian fighter jets the Iranians operate–flew out in to the Persian Gulf into international air space and fired on a U.S. Air Force predator drone, an unmanned drone in international air space, that the Pentagon insists was conducting routine, although classified, maritime surveillance. The Iranian aircraft fired continuously; they did not hit the drone; the drone was able to return to base in that region."
Epic Fail . 1 defenseless drone can't be taken out by not one but 2 SU-25 Jets.

Since 0bama did not bring this up during the campaign, it can only mean that the facts surrounding this do make him look like a great C-in-C.

What's the something you want us to do? Shoot at, and miss, one of their air assets?
[what are we - a bunch kids?]
