Interesting and very misleading title. First off Cheney was never president and second the article stated Cheney's opinion on what should have been done to the drone. He never stated anything about going to war to recover the drone.  The article also includes a lot of bias and useless opinions by the author. It is very doubtful that destroying the drone would have led to war. It would have, at worst, led to some political fallback. It's not like Iran would hate the US any more than it does now, but neither country would want a war either.

I won't go into too much of the article.  However, just going by the statement "a quick airstrike" I can tell you Cheney is full of shit.  Let us just say this supposed airstrike only targets the drone.  Could there be any possibility that Iran would declare war after being hit on their land with a US airstrike (even if it is just taking out a drone)?  I believe there is and thus an airstrike to take a drone out is completely idiotic.

I never said anything about which options were viable or if the actions that he suggested were even ones I agreed with. I just stated that the title of the thread is incorrect and misleading and what would be the more likely fallout if the drone was destroyed. Don't really care about the article either, it's not any sort of news.
