SPHINCTER-CLENCHING DRAMA: Iran firing drones into Israel

Not, it's not a Tom Clancy novel. It's actually happening. The Middle East is devolving into chaos, the inevitable outcome of a world without America.

Downed drone: Iran testing Israel's capabilities

Unmanned aircraft shot down by F-16 jets in south Israel was apparently launched from Lebanon by Hezbollah, or perhaps even by the Iranians themselves; IDF looking into possibility aircraft was supposed to photograph Dimona reactor

A few hours after two fighter jets shot down a small unmanned aircraft that penetrated Israeli airspace in the south Saturday morning, it is safe to say that an element operating in Lebanon under the auspices of Iran and with its support, apparently Hezbollah, activated the drone. The drone itself, which was downed in the south Mount Hebron area, was apparently made in Iran.

Operating a drone by remote control from such a long distance requires advanced capabilities, which Israel was not aware Hezbollah had acquired...

...The drone was apparently launched by Iran or one of its allies to test the IDF's detection and interception capabilities, and perhaps even to search for specific targets in south Israel. The drone apparently began its flight in Lebanon and then headed in the direction of Gaza's coastline after flying over the Mediterranean Sea. This route was chosen not only because it utilized the depth of the sea's airspace, but also because Israeli UAVs regularly hover above Gaza...

...Hezbollah tried to conceal the fact that it had sent the drone by selecting a long route that passed through the Mediterranean Sea. It wanted the drone to enter Israel near Gaza, perhaps in an attempt to place the blame on Hamas, which is currently considered hostile to elements that are loyal to Iran...

To put it in simple terms for drones, leftists and other miscreants:

• Iran is arming Hezbollah with increasingly sophisticated reconnaissance and weapons-delivery platforms

• Iran is reportedly weeks away from completing its first nuclear weapon

• Iran's proxy terror group -- Hezbollah -- is also operating in Mexico, assisting drug cartels with the construction of car-bombs and other terror tactics

• The administration's "open borders" policy -- and tacit endorsement of illegal immigration -- raises the possibility of terror groups smuggling nuclear weapons into the U.S. through our southern border

With Obama in office, I'm thinking the Mayans were onto something.
