The Wall Street Journal has reported that Iran fired upon a U.S. Drone while it was in international waters. I think Iran is testing the U.S. out to see if they would be willing to go to war if Israel is planning on it. They are trying to test the theory of "Paper Tiger." "Paper Tiger" means that a country or a group of people claim that if something does happen to them that they will attack, but when they are attacked there is no action. The leaders are testing out like Osama bin Laden did when he attacked the U.S.. He thought that the U.S. was going to send cruise misslies after September 11th because that is what Clinton did after we were attacked overseas and the U.S. did nothing when the U.S.S. Cole was attacked, but that is because they did not know that it was Al-Qaeda at the time.
George Little claims that the the attack was not revealed to the public because the drone was doing classified work, but I do not think that is the truth. I think the truth is that it was political, contrary to what Mr. Little says, because the election was only 5 days away. They did not want to deviate from the election. Iran clearly wants to test U.S. response and they might be trying to show that they are match to the U.S. if a war is going to occur.
Who knows what is going to happen in the next year. All I know is that Israel is likely going to attack, they will be doing the Middle East a favor because they are going to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear state. The countries in the Middle East some openly and some in secret do not want Iran to have nukes because the country is ran by extremists.
