Pentagon said Iran fired on U.S. Drone 11/1
Posted: Nov 8, 2012
Iran fired on an unarmed U.S. drone last week as it was hovering in international airspace, the Pentagon announced Thursday
.
Spokesman George Little said the incident occurred Nov. 1 at 4:50 a.m. ET. He said the unarmed, unmanned drone was conducting "routine surveillance" over the Persian Gulf when it was "intercepted" by Iran. He said the MQ1 Predator drone, which was not hit, was not in Iranian airspace.
Little said the U.S. government has protested to the Iranians. Asked about how the U.S. could respond, he said: "We have a wide range of options from diplomatic to military."
Little stressed that the drone was flying 16 nautical miles off the coast of Kuwait in international waters, and never entered the 12-mile limit that would constitute Iranian territory.
It was not hit and returned to its base safely. They didn't release this info last week before the election because it was a classified mission. CNN broke the story first.

Info conveniently withheld until after - the election?

[ In Reply To ..]Just one more example of the media shielding the "chosen one" from having to answer any tough questions - convenient indeed
Pew Research: Media were generally very negative about both - candidates, but harder on Obama.nm

After disclosure, the wingblogs would have a field day over - classified surveillance leaks.
[ In Reply To ..]Must be frustrating for them to have the potential for smear, slam, lies and hate blunted by the shellacking they took in the election.
