CNN claims Iran shot at a US drone,
revealing the news network's mindset

PressTV (Iran), by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:jeffblair, 11/8/2012 11:44:46 PM

Barbara Starr, CNN's Pentagon reporter (more accurately known as: the Pentagon's reporter at CNN), has an exciting exclusive today. Exclusively relying upon "three senior officials" in the Obama administration (all anonymous, needless to say), she claims that "two Iranian Su-25 fighter jets fired on an unarmed U.S. Air Force Predator drone in the Persian Gulf last week," while "the drone was in international airspace east of Kuwait... engaged in routine maritime surveillance." The drone was not hit, but, says CNN, "the incident raises fresh concerns within the Obama administration about Iranian military aggression in crucial (Persian) Gulf oil shipping lanes."

I'd worry if it was an unarmed soldier fired at.

1.SU-25's are ground attack and training aircraft only. 2.Most of the Iranian ones are junk. What a joke. CNN is so full of it.

I heard on Fox it happened Nov. 1st and the media has been holding it until after the election.

Iran has to be one of the happiest places on earth with Obama's re-election.Russia is right behind them.Obama got re-elected because he's a weak president,not in spite of it.The antiwar left is happy because Obama won't start a war like cowboy Bush.

#8...I'm surprised you would say Bush's war. Usually it's the Liberals who perpetuate that lie.

Do you believe any President can start a war on their own? Obviously you do not comprehend the Constitution.

Do you know where, in the Constitution, the words "declare war" appear and by whom?

Do you know how many Democrats, along with Republicans, SIGNED the War Powers Act? Do you know without a majority signing the Act that the President would not be able to go to war?

Same thing for those who claim Bush is the only guy who said Saddam had WMDs. The media lied and the gullible swallowed it.

I just wish people would do their homework before speaking. The media is pathetic enough without us spreading their lies.

#8 there will be no need for Obama to start a war. Iran will start it for him. I would be more worried about whose side he will be on.

Obama has certainly got our military in a few "incidents" that he did not bother consulting our congress about.
As for iran firing on our drone, at this point in time, especially after hearing the testimony about benghazi, it is evident that the majority of voters in the USA don't really care what happens to the other guy as long as their free stuff is not interrupted.

#9 challenges #8:

“Do you believe any President can start a war on their own? Obviously you do not comprehend the Constitution.”

#9, do you believe pResident Obama sought Congress’s permission to run weapons into, and fire those weapons in, Libya?

Obviously Ambassador Chris Stevens, and the SEALs who sacrificed their lives in trying to save Stevens, and the others caught in the line of fire that night in which the order Stand down was issued, might never have been drawn into that horrific attack, and been slaughtered, had pResident Obama ASKED CONGRESS to vote on whether to approve the US declaring war in Libya.

Now watch pResident Obama — as #8 fears — stand down while Iran readies its annihilation of Israel.

2 fighter jets cannot hit a slow and straight flying drone, well we know they are good at flying jets into things, perhaps they should have considered that.

Pentagon spokesman confirmed the report of the attack according to Bloomberg.com

The holding of the news is another subject. Running up to the election we had a fake surprise with the rumors peddeled that

First sentence of PressTV Wiki entry:
''Press TV is a 24-hour English language news network owned by the state-owned media corporation Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB). Its headquarters are located in Tehran, Iran.''

Are we giving that much credence to this article from the Iranian government???

Hey, I think as little of CNN and the oh so clever Obama regime as anyone, but just sayin'...

Vienna - A leaked diagram suggesting that Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapon is scientifically flawed, diplomats working with the UN nuclear agency conceded Friday. However they insisted that it still supports suspicions that Tehran is trying to build a bomb, especially when combined with other documents that remain secret. The Associated Press reported Tuesday, citing the document leaked by officials from a country critical of Iran’s atomic program, that it indicated that Iranian scientists had run computer simulations for a nuclear weapon that would produce more than triple the

Uncritical, fear-mongering media propaganda is far too common to take note of each time it appears, but sometimes, what is produced is so ludicrous that its illustrative value should not be ignored. Such is the case with a highly trumpeted Associated Press "exclusive" from Tuesday which claims in its red headline to have discovered evidence of "Iran Working on Bomb". (Snip) It is a "graph" which AP says was "leaked" to it by "officials from a country critical of Iran´s atomic program to bolster their arguments that Iran´s nuclear program must be halted before it produces a weapon"

A member of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission stressed on Sunday that the recent allegation about a halt in Iran's 20 percent uranium enrichment activities is not true. "This claim is unreal because the 20 percent enriched uranium is needed for Tehran's (Research) Reactor and its medical purposes," Kazzem Jalali said on Sunday. He stressed that Iran considers uranium enrichment as its inalienable right, and added, "In line with defending our nuclear rights, we believe that uranium enrichment is our inalienable right."

Iranian missiles can penetrate the Iron Dome rocket-defense system, Brig.-Gen. Masoud Jazayeri, deputy chief of the Iranian armed forces said Thursday, according to Iranian news agency Fars. "There is no iron dome in the world that we cannot pierce through," Fars quoted him as saying. "What is said about this dome (the Iron Dome) is mostly psychological warfare and propaganda." He also labelled Israeli threats to strike Iran's nuclear facilities as psychological warfare, contending that the IDF lacks the military capability to attack the Islamic Republic. Jazayeri further accused Israel of having

Compounding the American military's difficulties on the Japanese island of Okinawa, a U.S. airman is under investigation over allegations he broke into a local family's home early Friday and assaulted a teenage boy before jumping off a third-floor balcony. The incident is likely to further deepen resentment among Okinawan residents about the significant U.S. military presence on the island. The situation was already extremely delicate following the arrest last month of two U.S. sailors accused of raping a local woman.

Iran has images of sensitive Israeli military bases taken by a drone that was launched by Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement and downed by Israel earlier this month, a senior Iranian lawmaker claimed Monday in the latest boast from Tehran about purported advances in the capabilities of its unmanned aircraft. The announcement gave no details about the photos — other than calling the Israeli bases “forbidden sites” — but it suggested Iranian drones have the ability to transmit data while in flight. It also appeared aimed at warning Israel about the options for retaliation for any possible strikes on

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.

MARK LEVIN: So why didn´t Chairman Issa hold an investigative hearing a year ago? Why didn´t Chairman Camp, all Republicans, hold an investigative hearing a year ago, and all the other tripping over themselves right now? I´ll tell you why. Because the establishment Republicans, the RINO Republicans, despise the Tea Party. They despise the conservative movement. We exist to be managed, to be shuttled to the polling place, to vote for their candidates. The Karl Roves of the world, and all the rest of them. They fight us in the primaries, they fight us at the grassroots.
