President lets Iran shoot down one of our drones? I am just a dumb Coonass from the swamps of Louisiana but I believe that this was a pre-planned operation between Trump and Iran that was allowed to happen (just like the tanker attack; note - no casualties in either case).  What better way to expose the rats in the CIA than to let them go forward with a plan (that was discovered by the good guys) to start a war between the US and Iran. Iran is playing along because it is in their best interest (not being blown off the face of the earth plus financial advantages of becoming less hostile with US).  If I have learned one thing with Trump as our President, it is that he leaves nothing to chance. Everything is orchestrated 10 steps ahead for a desired outcome. I believe with all my heart that the patriots are in control of the Iran situation.  We'll see.
