It is being said that our CinC and our State Department don't want to hurt Iran's feelings hence the decision not to make a fast grab of the Drone and bring it back......you simply can't make this stuff up....

Are these the type of drones we may have sold to Israel? Maybe our governments way if giving Iran a heads up?

My questions are, Why wasn’t the drone bombed by U.S. aircraft or a cruise missile fired at the landing site?

Our pussy president, he again voted ‘absent’.

“With early knowledge that the aircraft had likely remained intact, the senior U.S. official also told Fox News that President Obama was presented with three separate options for retrieving or destroying the drone. The president ultimately decided not to proceed with any of the plans because it could have been seen as an act of war, the official told Fox News.”

Didn’t we also lose that ultra-secret stealth helicopter under Zero?

This is no accident. It’s in pristine condition. The only thing missing is the silver platter and a card. Wouldn’t be surprised if it had a full tank of gas, an owner’s manual in the glove box, and a spare key under the sun visor. We’ve got traiters inside the gate people.

perhaps it’s just wishful thinking, but one would hope such sentiments are merely the festive bow on a gift that keeps on giving . . .think stuxnet I & II.

The aircraft shown has major differences with the RQ-170. I t’s a model, a mockup, a fake.

Also, if it was shot down or crashed after running out of fuel it would show damage.

If it was guided down to land on an airstrip or road, they would have pictures of it there at the landing location, wheels down on the ground, somewhere.
