Iranian fighter planes shot at an unarmed American drone last week, Pentagon officials said Thursday, in an unprecedented air attack that raises military tensions in the Persian Gulf.

The Obama administration didn’t publicly disclose the attack at the time, which was five days before the U.S. presidential vote.

Two days after the 2012 presidential elections and government officials are claiming that they did not make this assault by Iran public knowledge because the “American drone was conducting classified surveillance.”

BS.  Had this assault become public knowledge a week ago, the results of Tuesday’s election might have been quite different.

First, Iran then Russia. Who is next? China? Venezuela? Who?
