what happened with the rocket into the Iraq oil field housing area?

Let me get this straight... The US flies a spy drone over a country on the other side of the world (I'm not buying the "international waters" stuff, considering the current administration does nothing but lie), and they're provoking US by shooting it down???? Give me a fucking break.
