Military Confirms US Shot Down Iranian Drone Over Iraq

The story about a US fighter shooting down an Iranian Drone over Iraq (Berman Post: US Shot Down Iranian Drone Over Iraq: "US Shot Down Iranian Drone Over Iraq") has been confirmed by the military. The military tracked the drone for over an hour and sent up fighters to ID it when it crossed the boarder. They shot it down when it was more then 25 miles into Iraq.

Maj. Gen. Abdul Aziz Mohammed Jassim who is the head of military operations at the Iraqi Defense Ministry believes that the incursion was likely a mistake. Mistake; really? This does not seem like something that would be a mistake to me, but what do I know.
