US WARPLANE FORCED TO LAND IN IRAN.
This is from a BBC report.
Oh Jimmah, O'bomber needs your learned advise......please make yourself useful.....
Five guys in an F16? What, were some of them sitting on the wings?!
A falcon. Probably Coast Guard surveillance plane. Unarmed.
The report said the group was interrogated and allowed to leave, without saying when the incident happened.

Ahmadinejad must be walking around with a little sign stuck to his back, saying “Kick me hard!”
Ahmadinejab will simply request that The One be part of the U.S. delegation and he will release the pilot sans plane after “discussions” with Obama, proving once and for all that The One is the best choice in these tense times.
WOW. Since yesterday. DOD kept that quiet.
The mullahs are desperate to gin up the oil price.
Megan Kelly was reading a report that said it was a Falcon (F16).
Iran CANNOT survive economically if oil prices continues to fall.
Next up - keep your eye on the 10,000 Syrian soldiers amassed on the border with Lebanon.
Uhhhmmm...this story has been breaking for only a few minutes- FOX NEWS will get it shortly.
Sorry. Not much more info on the Fox News website yet. However, they will certainly update it as more news comes in.
Ahhh...the vacant lot next to Rothchild's Liquor Store on Roosevelt.
Rove does not support McCain — never has and never will. Please quit praising Rove for everything because if he was a genius Bush in 2000 would have won big (DUI at the last minute), Bush would have not had to worry about Kerry, and we would have won in 2006. Now he has his electoral map on Fox showing why McCain will lose. Might want to check with some of the people that worked for him and learned they were lied to about McCain in 2000 when the dirty tricks were pulled on McCain by Rove and blamed on others.
There's a Falcon besides the F-16?
Bingo! :)

The agency added that the incursion was unintentional, and those on board were questioned and released.
It said five senior US military officials were interrogated at an Iranian airport, but allowed to leave the following day after it became clear the incursion had been a mistake.
However, a Pentagon spokesman said it was unaware of any US warplanes being forced to land in Iran.
All US aircraft in the region have been accounted for.
