New US Stealth Fighters Now At Iran's Back Door
ABC via Yahoo News. ^ | 27 April 2012 | Lee Ferran

Posted on 04/27/2012 5:15:43 PM PDT by edpc

America's most sophisticated stealth jet fighters have been quietly deployed to an allied base less than 200 miles from Iran's mainland, according to an industry report, but the Air Force adamantly denied the jets' presence is a threat to the Middle East nation.

Multiple stealth F-22 Raptors, which have never been combat-tested, are in hangars at the United Arab Emirates' Al Dafra Air Base, just a short hop over the Persian Gulf from Iran's southern border, the trade publication Aviation Week reported.

Will Obama try to wag the dog?

Do big dogs fart?

Do fish fornicate in water?

Does the sun rise in the east?

Is Bill Clinton a philanderer?

Do cats have scratchy tongues?

There is one answer to all these questions: YES.

It’s one of three things:

(1) Obama is an islmist sympathizer, but his only real god is himself (narcicist). Iran is “disrespecting” him, so they just volunteered to be obastard’s October Surprise.

(2) Obastard is acting on orders from the King of Saudi Arabia, you know, they guy he bows to.

(3) Obastard has the planes there as a deterrent - to Israel.

If (3), we’re well on the way to the worst parts of the Bible for Earth. That said, (1) or (2) is (slightly) more likely.

Hey. I want one of those drones. You know. The same one that Emperor Zero gave to the Iranians. Heck. If he can give a drone to the Iranians. Why not US citizens ? You know. The people who built and paid for the drone ? Sure hope I am not in some Terminator 0 plot. Hey. Whats that noise ?

...in hangars at the United Arab Emirates' Al Dafra Air Base...

What, no GPS coordinates of the hangers they are in? How about the guards' patrolling schedule? Why the {expletive} wouldn't you keep this under your hat?

If I was Iran I would be very very careful. Watching the dem/left’s “between to lines” messages, they know this election thingy ain’t looking good for the tyranny-team. Would not be a bit surprised to find nobama nuke Iran in the Mother of All October Surprises.
