Iranian jets attack the United States – America responds by sending a protest
Iranian jets attack the United States – America responds by sending a protest.
Two Iranian jets attacked an unmanned American drone in international airspace over the Persian Gulf last week.
The jets failed to bring the drone down even though they fired continuously until it managed to return safely to its base. Instead of responding militarily the U.S. responded by sending a protest to the Iranian government. Even though the attack occurred a few days before the November 6 presidential election in the United States the American public didn’t find out about it until November 8, two days after the election.
Which raises several questions Americans should ask themselves.
What exactly would the Iranians have to do for the U.S. to use its military against them…attack manned American aircraft, attack American ships, attack American facilities, kill or kidnap Americans, what? The drone was clearly marked as American, was clearly in international airspace and was clearly non-aggressive and attacking it was tantamount to attacking the U.S. itself…if that wasn’t enough to provoke a military response what would be?
What conclusions will the Iranians draw from the feeble American response…will the feeble American response encourage them to launch larger and deadlier attacks on America and can Americans expect the next attack to take place relatively soon?
Why did Iran feel comfortable enough to attack in the first place?
Why didn’t the American public find out about the attack until after the election…was news about the attack and America’s feeble response suppressed because it would have had a negative impact on Obama’s chances of being re-elected?
Why didn’t the United States respond militarily and who made the decision not to…did Obama, that well known micro-manager, prevent a military response for personal political reasons?
What conclusions will the Israelis draw from the feeble American response…will they conclude that they cannot depend on President Obama or the U.S. and that their survival and the survival of their country is entirely in their own hands…does this make a unilateral Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities more or less likely? After all, if the Americans won’t use their military to defend and protect themselves how can the Israelis believe that they will use it to defend and protect Israel?
What conclusions will America’s other allies in the Middle East draw and will American weakness lead to an arms race and war in the region?
What impact will America’s feeble response have on the morale of the U.S. military, which is already at rock bottom, and how will that exceedingly poor morale affect performance and future enlistment?
What does the feeble response reveal about Obama’s character and commitment to country?
What does the attack reveal about Iran’s ultimate intentions, especially now that it is on the verge of developing and possessing nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them?
What the hell ever happened to American strength…and pride…to America’s willingness and ability to defend and protect itself…to the doctrine of deterrence?
Americans should ask themselves these questions but they should pose them to their elected representatives in Washington. They should also demand answers, honest ones, and then take measures to make sure that such travesties never happen again.
Iran is America’s self-described mortal enemy. It just attacked the American military, which is tantamount to attacking America itself. That is an act of war, by anyone’s definition. America responded by sending a protest.
Feeble, absolutely feeble.
One thing you can depend on. I know it answers some of the questions but nevertheless…America’s feeble response does make more and bigger attacks a dead certainty and does bring war in the Middle East and beyond closer. Much, much closer.
Iran took note. Americans should too.

Relax guys.
This was a spontanious protest, caused by the fact that this infidel drone flew over a minarette.
We all know, that any infidel object, fying over a minarette, is a massive and grave insult to all muslims.
The president apologized for this reckless and offensive action:
“The US military has nothing to with it and neither condones it such reckless actions.
The drone decided autonomously to fly over the minarette.
I stress that the US-military does not tolerate such actions and I ordered today, that our military issues immediate regulations to prevent such offenses from ever happening again.
Today I personally ordered, that all manned and unmanned aircrafts in our military will be fitted with a new automatic course correction system witch alters the course of the aircraft so that it will not fly over minarettes. No pilot or operator will be able to override this automatic system.
In the meantime I reach out to the muslim world, to provide us with accurate maps of all minarettes in the world.
I ordered the US-military to work with the OIC to produce such maps. All necessary funding will be provided by us.
Furthermore I ordered that NASA calculates the orbits of future stallites in such a manner that they do not overfly minarettes.
The orbits of existing satellites will be corrected, if possible.
In case, the orbit of a satellite cannot be corrected, the satellite will be brought down in a controlled fashion or destroyed in the higher atmosphere.
I want to reiterate our profound respect for the religion of islam and the prophet muhammad (peace be upon him) and I want to say to all muslims: salam aleikum.”
As our Washington sources have learned today, the operator flying the drone was arrested yesterday.
Defense department officials have denied that this has anything to do with the recent incident.
A speaker of the dense department issued today the following statement: “As we have learned three days ago, the person who operated the drone has commited a massive violation of army regulations for the protection of the envronment. He was witnessed flying a drone over an unnecessary amount of time, circling for hours over a target without getting the permission every five minutes. Thus he commited an intolerable crime against the environment by producing excessive amounts of carbon dioxide. The department takes the protection of the environment very seriously. I just want to point out the recent establishment of the after-combat-clearing-units whose job is to collect all lead bullets lying around in an area of operations.”

Ok, Justice. What is your point?
I gave you the benefit of the doubt, because I was not sure, wether your comments where directed at me personally or not and because I could not imagine that anyone could not see my comment as satire and parody.
So if you want to say something to me directly, just do it.
Anyway, threads do not impress me and I sure as hell will go on poking fun at and mocking anyone, who deserves to be mocked.
Obama and his brothers in crime deserve to be mocked and ridiculed.
If I misunderstood you in any way, feel free to correct me.
