Default Our lost Drone.

http://www.examiner.com/conservative...p-secret-drone

Watching Fox news today I hear that the drone that Iran now has that belongs to us, was not destroyed (self destruct) by order of Obozo! It seems that the military wanted to run the self destruct on the drone, but Obozo was afraid that Iran would claim that we were attacking them. And that is just what they have done anyway. The drone, having lost contact with its handlers, simply landed on the nearest flat surface. Now Obozo is asking Iran to give us back the drone! Please! Iran says nope, and we ain't thru with the U.S. yet, either! I honestly believe that Obozo wanted this technology to fall into the hands of Iran. Nothing else could be the reason for his decision! My immediate response would have been a JDAM right on the drone by the time it stopped rolling in Iran!

I also cannot understand why/how we failed to destroy it. I don't know what ulterior motives may have been behind it, but it certainly does put a great deal of operational, reverse engineer-able high technology in the hands of those sworn to destroy us. Bad juju.

According to Fox News, Bozo had 3 scenarios to recover/destroy the drone and refused them all, didn't want to hurt Irans feelings. This guy is a total waist of good oxygen

All Americans should be pissed about this........the ramifications of this technology falling into these guys hands are beyond terrible. I don't know why our partner countries in democracy aren't giving Obozo hell for this.

Air Force Lt.Gen. Thomas McInerny was just on Fox News, explaining that these drones don't "just land by themselves".

He said that somebody had to over-ride the secure data link to the drone, and then direct it to a soft landing in Iran. He suggested that the Russians or Chinese were responsible.

I would bet Russians and Chinese. Several weeks before the drone capture, it had been reported that we recently discovered a computer virus in the drones, but did not ground them.

I remember the virus thing, and was told by computer experts it was "no big deal". Stealthed Iranian drones coming into THIS country will be carrying something heavier than a camera, or will they be content to sell the tech to the cartels.

On a serious note, the Iranians would be much less prone to be gay or to look at porn than our United States troops would be. I do not like the government, but I like the people of Iran. I have several good friends who are Iranians.

Don't worry, it could be our good friends, the Chinese. That drone might be sitting in a Beijing lab in a couple of weeks.

In very short time, we will be through sending one anywhere. The bad guys who count, will be able to down then, or maybe send them back where they came from. How pathetic.

whats worse , is that at first they stated it was a hawk a unarmed drone , not far removed from what we ( the public) can buy now , that too was a lie , in fact its the latest and greatest , even milinf said it was no biggy and would be destroyed , now we find out it was not blown up on executive orders

hey folks just open the armies filing cabinets and give em the plans , it'd be cheaper

say what you like now , when you get rid of obozo first order of the day MUST BE ARREST HIM FOR TREASON , forget the birth certificate BS this is "UP AGAINST THE WALL, NO BLINDFOLD" stuff

I think the cartels will pay huge for these - no more need for drug mules, slip a drone over the border, radar invisible, drop the load, come back for more...

That's the problem with the idiot in the white house. Zero, zip, nada experience with our military hardware and how sophisticated it is and how valuable the technology is to the other side. It should have been destroyed as soon as they lost control of it.

Forget the cartels, worry about the muslim brotherhood, or the russians or the chinese strapping a nuke on that drone and flying it in to a major city

Trust me, I already noted that above, I just look at all angles I can for buyers of this tech. As for getting a nuke into a major city in the US, I'd hazard a guess it's already been done thanks to our porous borders.
I think the people protecting high officials better update their anti air equipment.

Don, I agree with everything you've had to say, but Obozo is not the idiot that most believe he is! This was a diliberate act on his part, knowing full well the consequences!

I think we should send them another one...this one with a mini nuke on board, set to blow when the first camel jockey opens the hatch. Now that is a nice, pleasent thought. Anyone believing this was not planned, I got a used car I will sell you, cheap...

Im in agreement that it was a Obama 'gift' to his islamic breatherin....Remember Clinton and the Chinese nuke deals????...and our secret guidence system sattelite atop the Chinese rocket they were supposed to launch for us..The thing malfunctioned and no one but the commies were allowed near the crash site for days..COME ON.!!!..THE COMMIES LAUNCH A SUPER SECRET USA SATTELITE FOR US???? How stupid do they think we are????. Our state department is ultra famous for pulling stunts like that to help themselves and line their corrupt pockets....Today there is just another Clinton running the state department.

Another time during the Clinton reign an Asian-muslim country contracted with Armalite to buy 500+ Armalite FA CAR's...The Clinton state department stopped the deal cold...Then turned around and GAVE the bastards the weapons... No doubt a lot of money exchanged there "under the Swiss bank table" and WE paid for them...

Betcha Osambo's/Hilliary's Swiss bank accounts just got a lot fatter... Freaking liberal-progressive corrupt bastards...:
