UPDATE: Looks like the US drone was indeed likely in Iranian airspace. The Washington Post reports: “An Iranian Su-25 fighter jet pursued the U.S. drone as it retreated from Iranian airspace, the [Pentagon] spokesman said.”
As I said yesterday, the story regurgitated by the bought and paid for media about this incident stunk to high heaven. That opinion it seems to now be more substantiated. If one takes virtually everything said by the government and the mainstream media about Iran as lies, that would be the correct position most all the time.
The U.S government with the use of its warmongering military, has been spying on Iran for years, but posts a story yesterday that it was simply minding its own business over international waters, and Iran, completely unprovoked, attacked a U.S. drone. This is more fantasy than anything else.
Iran has never attacked aggressively any country in over 200 years, while the U.S. and its evil military continually slaughter innocents around the world, aggressively attack other countries without end, seek world domination, and perpetually prosecute unholy wars. The U.S. has also been brutalizing Iran for at least the past 60 years. So, who is to be believed here?
The creators of heinous wars are now attempting to convince Obama that Iran is a deadly threat. Although Obama has recently been less aggressive where Iran is concerned than a Romney administration would be, if given the right circumstances, he will change that position. If Obama thought the outcome of war with Iran would help him politically, he would in my opinion not hesitate to bomb Iran, and that is exactly what the neocons and Netanyahu want!
