I have just been informed by our Great Military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz. There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

CNN reporting that it was an Iranian drone which shot down the Apache helicopter.

Glad the pilot and gunner didn't end up in an Iranian speedboat.
But we are in a cease fire...
Ebrahim Zolfaghari needs to be put on the list of the IRGC walking dead.
just so long as the “response” is 100 times greater than the provocation ...
This could easily have been prevented by not sending them there in the first place.
It’s clear the Iranian Islamists have no intention to talk peace. Even then, they would still be in power, oppressing their people, continuing hostilities, funding their surrogates, and waiting for the next corrupt, weak Democrat to be elected here.
Take them out now, and quickly.
Ukrainians developed a drone capable of 185mph and 7-10 minutes flight time for interception.
Embarrassing that we’re still having to deal with losses like this.
Iran is signaling again and again, that it clearly doesn’t want to hear anything about any kind of cease-fire or peace deals. Thus, they act exactly like the Russians, no wonder they remain close allies.
I sure hope the Presidents response is to end this right now now today and don’t try to baffle me with BS about a ‘deal’ ever again.
Pathetic how the United States has fallen in terms of superpower to paper tiger
Disgusting
USA does nothing
Will blow up some empty buildings in response
Such a fall from the heroes of ww2 to this disaster
Enough. Punish them ‘til they squeal, and then punish them more until they totally surrender to the Iranian people.
But hey, there will be a deal in 3 days, or over the weekend, or very soon, or...
It’s that stuff that is going to open the door for the communists to take control.
And the Insanians are “begging for a deal”.
Funny way to negotiate for peace.
Is Trump ever going to quit ‘effing around and end this with extreme prejudice?
I vote 4 bush every night, but Mrs cport always cones up with alternative votes after the recount.
