Sorry - I thought you were old enough to change your own pants now.
Clearly you have nothing of substance to offer, other than the substance you've filled your drawers with, that is.

Pretty curious handling of news that wasn't 'pertinent', huh ?
Hello,
It's true. The delay of unremarkable news is quite remarkable.

What did the President have for breakfast on Election Day?
Why is this information being withheld from us?!

I think posting flame bait is how little rapey copes. It makes him feel less insignificant.

So two isolated events, more than a year apart, fall under the "fog of war" heading.
But Iran isn't allowed to claim the same? After all, we're at war with so many of their neighbors at the moment, in one form or another, declared or not, human or drone. Can't they claim "fog of war" for shooting at our drone?
And wouldn't "fog of war" cover everything that happened in Libya and everywhere else?

I can always tell when you've run out of steam and have nothing else to offer in a thread. That's when you fall back on your useless "I win, you lose, name-call, name-call, name-call" tactics. Say goodnight, Gracie.

I'm sure they had their reasons, though. Right?
Yes. The USS Vincennes was under attack by Iranian Gunboats at the time. The aircraft was misidentified as an Iranian F-14.
The fault for the incident lies to some extent on both sides and also random chance.

A helicopter at high altitude off the Vincennes took small-arms fire from (as they said) Iranian patrol boats. After pursuing the patrol boats into Omani waters and being warned away, eventually the Vincennes pursued the patrol boats into Iranian territorial waters when it opened fire on the civilian flight. The Vincennes was in pursuit and in Iranian waters, not under attack .

I'd like to thank Rappy and "Hero" both for making my case for me. According to their arguments, Iran is completely innocent of any wrongdoing in this matter, because if they thought this drone was a U.S. warplane and they misidentified it, then the whole incident just comes down to "the fog of war" and no harm was done. After all, with all the threats against them, and all the violence and fighting in nations all around them, it's easy to understand why they thought they were under attack.
Thank you both for clarifying this matter.
I have just one more question -
Why did you keep this "pertinent" information hidden away for so long?

No 'case was made' . There was,in fact, an actual war going on , between Iraq and Iran, back in the 80's. When the USS Stark was hit by the Exocet missile , and when the Iranian jetliner was accidentally shot down.
Both incidents occurred in a theatre of war.
There was no 'war' going on, when the drone was shot at, in int'l waters. It wasn't shooting anyone, save for possibly by video.
According to the details, as they're known, Iran was completely and fully the aggressor here, and is fully at fault.
