Punked

[The Man]

Well it appears as if they kept this quiet during the campaign{reminds me of the Libya incident}...this would have been an excellent chance for the president to show his "firmness"..that he bragged about

Iran just days before the election spit in his face and tried to take out a drone...like a pussy he did nothing.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ASHINGTON (AP) — An Iranian attack aircraft fired at least twice at an unarmed U.S. drone conducting routine surveillance in international airspace over the Persian Gulf, the Pentagon said Thursday. The aircraft missed and the drone returned to base unharmed.

The shooting in the Gulf, which occurred just before 5 a.m. EDT on Nov. 1, was unprecedented, Pentagon press secretary George Little said. The incident was not disclosed sooner because the military does not discuss classified surveillance missions, but agreed to answer questions after news reports revealed the shooting.

If someone says something intelligent, it might be worth responding to.

[/B]So where's the story here?

Ummmm, let me see.

1.Iran likes to shoot at things. No Story.
2.The US military does not report directly to the media. No story.
3.An unmanned military aircraft was sent up, flew around for a while, and landed. No story.
4.The Man uses something out of context in an attempt to create a conspiracy theory. No story.

 

[The Man]

[/B]So where's the story here?

It was disclosed..after the election.
Has nothing to do with being classified...then becoming unclassified after the election.
Has everything to do with keeping it quiet...as he got punked out..we had planes shot at in international waters...Obama done nothing.

These were our planes in international waters...its a story it is now on the news.
2.The US military does not report directly to the media. No story.
Thanks....you have just established the military didnt hide it...but rather the Obama administration

3.An unmanned military aircraft was sent up, flew around for a while, and landed. No story

Being shot at makes it a story.
Zero for three...I like to see you keep your batting average pretty constant.

That leaves you out

Can't see how you simply repeating yourself creates a story where none exists.

Straight from the story that you quoted Are you calling your own source a liar?:24:

 

[Kakapo Dundee]

Obama won, tough shit, that's democracy. If you were "The Man" that you pretend to be you'd suck it in and get on with it.

 

[Kakapo Dundee]

That leaves you out

And your half-assed reply confirms my position.

 

[Accountable]

Obama won, tough shit, that's democracy.

Not that you give a shit about being accurate, but you might want to check Article 2, Section 1, and the 12th Amendment.

whats the argument? Obama won.

 

[Kakapo Dundee]

LOL..... Obama won. The more people stamp their feet and claim otherwise the more ridiculous they look.:24:


I'm sure that there are some intelligent and rational Republican voters out there, but they're not posting much on this forum.

 

[Accountable]

whats the argument? Obama won.

Yes he did, fair and square, legal and by the rules. That's indisputable, but it's not democracy.

 

[robdawg1]

so your argument is based on semantics, correct? that because it is representational, i.e. electoral voted to represent the state majority, and then if that fails to win representatives cast ballots, than that isnt democracy it is a representative republic?

 

[Kakapo Dundee]

I'd love to hear your twisted logic to try and justify such a monumentally obvious misconception.

It's no argument. It's a clarification, a simple matter of law. We are a representative republic. Our representatives make decisions by democratic process. We choose many of our representatives by democratic process, but not our president.

You seem to be jumping to Dundee's defense. There's nothing to defend, though he seems to be convinced that he's in an argument.
