    Iran was close enough to the debris trail, floating in the ocean, to make recovery of it before we could.Indicating it may very well have have been within Iran's territorial waters.

    Did you hear Chuck Schumer the other day commenting on Iran ?

    I wasn't looking at the television screen and I thought who was speaking was an Iranian official then I looked up and it was Scummer.

    What's tris infatuation and love affair that some Democrats have with Iran ?

    I know why President Obama always appeased Iran.
    Valerie Jarrett was born and was raised as a child in Iran.

    Most people hold on to their loyalty to the country they were born in.

    Like most airplanes, the drones don't fall straight down.

    Why are you so eager to believe Iran over the US? They have wreaked havoc in the Middle East for decades and have financed terrorist organizations and are responsible for the deaths of many American soldiers in Iraq through their proxy wars. And let's not forget when they took American sailors hostage under Obama and took Americans hostage in 1979 and held them for 444 days. It was the reason Carter was only a one term president. So let's get this straight----you desperately want to believe and trust in known TERRORISTS who murder Americans over your own country just because you have an uncontrollable hatred for Trump? DESPICABLE and VILE yet so normal for Democrats...

    Of course, they knew about it going down long before us, while our guys were still trying to figure out what happened. They probably had boats going that way even before the missile launched.
    Kind of like the un-exploded mine they were found removing from one of the tankers- they knew it was there and when it was supposed to go off. Didn't want it to fall into our hands, which would have allowed identification of the sources of all parts.

    IF they have some kind of verifiable proof, as they claim, that our drone was over their border- time to put it on the table. I tend to believe that our technology is such that our drone would not have been out of position, nor would it be necessary to be close to the Iranian coast and in their waters to complete it's observation mission.

    huh, did you ever think about the physical situation before writing this post. The drone was shot down 8 miles from Iran's territorial waters. Iran knew they were going to shoot it down and where they were going to shoot it down. It is off thier coast, they have hundreds of civilian and military small craft in the area. US forces are 100 miles away and consist of mainly large warships. And do you understand that flying 20 miles of a coast involves many course changes as it parallels the coast. Once the plane/drone is hit it does not tumble out of the sky like a rock but continues with momentum until gravity takes over. I am not surprised at some pieced falling well inside the 12 mile limit and I can't understand why you don't fathom that.

    Interesting comment, coming from somebody who supports the guy who sides with the dictator that attacked our electoral system and against all of our intelligence agencies.

    Fact is that normally, in something like this, it would be slam dunk to believe our government over a radical theocracy. These are not normal times. This is not a normal administration. We have a pathological liar at the helm, and lackeys who would be loyal to their leader before they are loyal to the American People.

    Assuming the story coming out of the WH is true (always a dangerous assumption) that Don reversed course on the air strike, he looks bad either way. If he ordered the launch without knowing the potential body count he was negligent and uninformed. If he knew and then changed his mind he looks indecisive. One has to ask why he changed his mind........and why he ordered it in the first place? Did Hannity talk him out of it?

    Endless war brought to you by liberal, big government, bank whoring neocons.
    Don't fall for it.
    They are the enemy of limited government and personal liberty.

    Most of the wars in the 20th century were the result of leftist interventions...
