US shoots down love-bearing drone from Iran

Wired.com is reporting that a US fighter shot down an Iranian drone over Iraq last month;

Details of the previously-unreported shoot-down, which occurred last month, are still sketchy. But we do know that American commanders have long accused Tehran of supplying weapons and training to all sorts of Iraqi militant groups. Shi’ite militias fired Iranian rockets at U.S. troops in Iraq, according to the American military; Sunni militias allegedly used Iranian armor-piercing bombs to reduce U.S. vehicles to ribbons.

Fox News cautions that they can’t confirm the story. So I figure that the evil US war machine just shot down what Iran had intended to be a peaceful mission and now the Bush/Cheney Obama/Biden cabal is trying to cover it up.

Here’s an artist’s concept of the drone before it was destroyed by the imperialist running dogs;
