Drone downed in Iranian airspace and diplomats discharged....

Lotta hoopla over a Russian built, IAEA-inspected power station in a country that is a party to the NPT. Gives one pause as to the real agenda....

Getting closer, no way the military industrial complex is going to allow the budget to get slashed. We need them to protect us!

"The spy drone, which has been downed with little damage, was seized by the Iranian armed forces."



Good news is the Chinese should have it by now and we can expect cheap knockoffs on the market by June saving the taxpayer 100's of millions.

"Iran's military said on Sunday it had shot down a US reconnaissance drone aircraft in eastern Iran and warned it would retaliate on foreign soil for the incursion."

So... given this, wonder when/where will the false flag event occur to justify releasing the Dogs of War on Iran? What will China and Russia do in response?

hmmmm....link won't load.....maybe temporarily down?

disregard......loaded now.......

Hope we have something more substantial in our "things we're gonna do" bucket, than a beer summit.

So they downed a drone? Whatever happened when they downed the drone back in January? Oh thats right nothing.

Whatcha got in mind Slappy?

Another 10 year, multi-trillion dollar war where the American casualty potential is exponentially higher than Iraq and Afghanistan combined because they downed an unmanned drone in their airspace?

If the issue could be solved with a 'beer summit'... why not?

Hell, you'd still be cryin' about it anyway.

Why do you hate the American military so much?

gv - If you don't think that our foreign policy issues are being handled to your satisfaction... may I suggest that you grab your m-16, hop the next flight to Teheran and let 'em know in person.

It would sure save us a lot of blood and treasure.

4Salt, once again you prove you are an idiot. Maybe you should grab your M16 and deploy. Me and my M4 just returned from Afghanistan in June.


I never said they weren't doing nothing. I was speaking of what Iran was going to do. Remove your tin foil hat you ass clown.

4Salt.......(aka PinHead)


You obviously have been paying close attention, haven't you, now?

Regular Army '65-'68
Also have been consistent and open with my "Thanks" to vets.
So try again, and while you're at it, try not to look like you just pissed your pants the next time you pose with a fish.

If your reference is to our present Commander in Chief......he doesn't fit my concept of a United States warrior......

I'm kinda' tired of good men dying in a foreign desert....

Thanks for the laughs Slappy and gv... you right-wing dimwits never disappoint.

4Salt,
You don't know which party I vote for so it shows your ignorance. All I said is they shot down (Iran did) a drone last year and did nothing and you took it as if I was saying something about our foreign policy. So you know what they say when you assume.

KK, you are just too needy, dude.

I agree with RVW as well. Unfortunately, history shows that that is exactly where our military members are killed (post Civil War, or course). Foreign soil (be it desert or not) is where our soldiers go to fight.

Some of us grew up remembering "Duck and Cover" drills at school, the cold war, Nikita Kruschev and his famous rant, "We will bury you!", N/S Korea, etc.

Are we headed down a similar road now? Who knows. Crazy bastards in crazy lands are scary. World population of seven billion and growing (that's more than double since I served)......can't keep that up......there WILL be an equalizer at some point......like it or not. And it won't be equalized with beer...... unfortunately.

Sounds like kk is a k short.

I read on the front page of several Middle Eastern (English Language) newspapers that Saudi Arabia is now looking to get in the Nuke Club. The reason given was that it was in order to protect themselves from a perceived thereat from both Iran and Israel. Just what we need another nation with nukes in a politically volatile location on the globe.

The continuing saga....

Seems that the CIA may have gotten pick-pocketed....

The subject drone in the video above doesn't look like it was either shot down or crashed for some unknown cause. Perhaps, our astute leaders, in sending the bulk of our electronics technology and manufacturing off-shore, resulted in the military procurement of Chinese-manufactured components for the subject drone.... The implications/extrapolations of such a hijacking, if true, likely launched simultaneous payloads of schit into copious tighty-whities....

The unknown would be are the Israelis going to use conventional or nuclear ordnance when they do the big hit on Iran.

In 1973 a friend of mine was in the Marines on a ship in the Med.
When the October War was going badly for the Israelis his battalion was issued Israeli uniforms. They didn't have to go ashore but they were ready in their Israeli uniforms. I guess the powers that be wanted to try to hide our possible involvement from the Russians and Chinese.
If anything bad happens now, we'll be right in the middle of it with or without the IDF uniforms.

The only hope is that moderate Iranians will take back their country from the lunatics that are currently in charge.

"The only hope is that moderate Iranians will take back their country from the lunatics that are currently in charge."

True. Until the 1979 Islamic revolution Iran was a progressive, even "Western" country. Well educated and pretty advanced according to an old friend who had been stationed there when he worked for the State Department. But by now a whole generation has grown up under Islamic stone age mentality and leadership. Are there enough moderate Iranians left to actually influence the country?

The leadership was still broken with the Shah and his cronies.


You have to hope so.
I would think that the Arab Spring was noticed by many of them.

My impression is that younger Iranians are cosmopolitan and are not very receptive of the old hardliners.

As in many countries, if the old hard liners die off without someone (including us) doing something to hatch a new batch of hard liners, then things will change.

Fish on...
