and now, the most "transparent administration" reveals that a week ago (i.e. before the election) Iran shot at US drones.

"Iran fired on an unarmed U.S. drone last week as it was hovering in international airspace, the Pentagon announced Thursday. "

"TEHRAN // Iran has shown US drones it shot down over the Gulf to Russia, a top official with the Revolutionary Guard was quoted as saying yesterday.

"Russian experts requested to see these drones and they looked at both the downed drones and the models made by the guards through reverse engineering," the official IRNA news agency quoted General Hajizadeh as saying.
General Hajizadeh did not elaborate on the number or type of unmanned US aircraft it had shot down, or when or where it had done so."

"Russian Attack Sub Off Our Coast As Sequestration Looms

The fruit of unilateral disarmament, appeasement and promised "flexibility" patrols our East Coast near one of our largest ballistic missile submarine bases. Defense cuts and Russian subs — a double whammy.

'On June 1 or a bit later, we will resume constant patrolling of the world's oceans by strategic nuclear submarines," Russian Navy Commander Admiral Vladimir Vysotsky said in February. Keeping that promise, a Russian Sierra-2 class nuclear attack submarine cruised within 200 miles of our East Coast on the eve of a U.S. presidential election in which defense spending and priorities were a key issue.
This is the first time a Russian Sierra-2 class sub, believed to be based with Russia's Northern Fleet and armed with SSN anti-submarine warfare missiles and torpedoes, has been detected near the U.S. coast, reports Bill Gertz of the Washington Free Beacon.
"As was their primary mission during the Cold War, Russian SSNs nuclear attack submarines would likely be trying to track U.S. nuclear missile submarines deploying from Kings Bay, Ga., and to monitor U.S. naval deployments from Norfolk, Va.," according to Richard Fisher, a military analyst with the International Assessment and Strategy Center. Two guided missile submarines and six nuclear missile submarines are docked at Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base."

"We have these ships that go underwater called nuclear submarines...."

Seems that Hussein isn't the only one with increased "flexibility" after his re-election.

I forgot which EW commenter I was talking to but please note: Rep. (or Alderman, I don't recall which office he held at the time) Guitierez did a number of spots in Spanish strongly supporting said candidate, Glen Poshard. So I am aware "Screwy Lui" is capable of good judgement.).

Poshard in fact was criticized by even Liberal Sen. Paul Simon (another decent Democrap, btw. Yes, they do exist) for running on rumors of Ryan's corruption, which turned out to be true, and lost, largely because he didn't pass the ideological purity test for the Democrap party.  Odd how the Republicans are criticized for just tolerating the "Pro-Choice" politicians, while the Democraps shut out their pro-life members. Or perhaps typical.
