Iranian jets fire on U.S. drone
[Iranian jets fire on U.S.
drone by Barbara Starr] "Two Iranian Su-25 fighter jets fired on an
unarmed U.S. Air Force Predator drone in the Persian Gulf on November 1,
the Pentagon disclosed on Thursday.
The incident, reported first by CNN, raised fresh concerns within the
Obama administration about Iranian military aggression in crucial Gulf
oil shipping lanes.
The drone was on routine maritime surveillance in international airspace
east of Kuwait, 16 miles off the coast of Iran, U.S. officials said. The
Predator was not hit..." Full text:
Iranian jets fire on U.S. drone
Not revealed until after election because mission was 'classified'
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Yes, I was wondering how disclosing this last Thursday might have changed the election results in snakebird's imagination."
Ad hominem
Is this a "transparent"
administration?
"I am not sure how snakebird thinks it would have changed voter's opinions on Tuesday..."
Ad hominem
You said this already.
"...Snakebird seems to see a monster in every shadow."
Ad hominem. Proof please.
[
Ad hominem/Snakebird, how would it change voter's opinions?] "Yes, you
need to explain the reasoning for your insinuation."
What have I insinuated?
[Proof please
]
"Proof of what?"
Proof that I
see monsters (2
Ti 1:7).
"In all of history, I don't think any world power has been enemy free."
Why did the Obama Administration
withhold this information from the public?
"I really do not know of anyone who has a grasp on reality that thinks terrorism is over or that all of our enemies have given up."
Who would have wanted you to think
that terrorism was all over and that our enemies have given up?
"What would give you that idea?"
What would give you the idea to bring this up?
These Are The Droids You're Looking For Star Wars
[Proof
that I see monsters (2 Ti 1:7).] "Perhaps I was mistaken."
Perhaps.
"...So this is your chance to clarify the ambiguity you seem to be making now..."
What am I
ambiguous about?
"...Was it not your intention with this OP to claim the present administration kept this story quiet until after the election as an attempt to deceive us?"
It was my intention to give you the
story.
"If that was not your intention..."
The President claims to have a
transparent administration but that
would not seem to be the case.
"...[T]hen I offer my sincere apology."
Why don't you like me starting this
thread? Tell us how much you
love American
free expression.
[Why did the Obama Administration withhold this
information from the public?
]
"You are the one who is reporting this."
Barbara Starr is reporting this.
"And you are asking me that question?"
Do you have any thoughts
on the topic?
"If you have any evidence that it is a reason other than what has been disclosed, now would be the time to show us that evidence."
Iranian jets fired on our drone.
No one told us about it
until after the election.
"I don't think anyone can know that for sure in the short term whether any long term gains with Iranian diplomacy have been made."
Would information
about their firing on our drone
have helped you to form an opinion
about the state of diplomatic relations?
"I did not vote for Obama. Though I still do not think such an occurrence would change the minds of those who did."
If that is true, why did the
Administration keep the information from us?
"Do you think there was intentional deception on the part of the current administration or not in regard to this incident?"
They withheld information until
after the election
for political purposes.
They are corrupt (1
Cor. 15:33).
"I have no problem with the fact that you started the thread."
Lie of the day (Ingraham).
Response to comment [from other]: "This seems rather transparent..."
We disagree.
