You are still wrong. The real fact is that neither you nor the author can offer any proof of guilt.
Windflier is really struggling. :-)
So, instead of answering my question, you intimate that I’m an idiot who is unfamiliar with a common phrase. Good work, I’m totally convinced.
Yeah, no doubt. There’s obviously a thought process at work here that says, “If it’s anti-Obama, then it’s good to go for posting on FR.”
Thankfully, most of us have higher standards here.
I'm done with you. You're unresponsive and flat-lining.
I don't know what to tell you. You failed to see how the author 'connected the dots', and you demanded that I explain it to you.
Read the article. The whole article. If you come away disagreeing with the author, you can then explain to me how he failed to 'connect the dots'.
Walk away from what? Someone who's posting in circles? No big deal, really.
You poor, silly person. Go in peace. I haven't the heart to wound you further.
From one who shot himself in the foot.
Verity, why are you still here? You're like Baghdad Bob, making ludicrous claims.
You never presented an argument to back up your weird contention, and you never even attempted to answer the question I put to you again and again.
In short, you came onto this thread and pissed on it. Now you want to call yourself a victor? I don't know where you sit on the chronological scale, but you talk just like an adolescent.
Produce a cogent argument, or sit down.
Was it a production? Like when we supposedly went to the moon? Perhaps the drone lost is a production? You can’t dismiss everything as hoax.
IMHO, here are a couple of alternate theories.
1) First, why was the drone in the area?
Later reports on the 6th Dec 2011 corrected previous reports the drone had belonged to the DoD air forces in the operational region, but rather it belonged to the CIA.
I suspect this was a reaction to prior reports of DoD ownership, which my have challenged coalition agreements or implied joint command amongst allies of lacking command and control of air forces in the region.
Bird might not have belonged to the CIA, but if not casts even more doubt on those controlling it.
Probably was a CIA bird, just as the corrective reports indicated. The 6Dec11 reports appear sloppily hasty or reaction reports. Probably true.
Why would the CIA be flying the bird in the area and why would they land it?
1) Lost control...bird was reportedly out of fuel, if true then probably not.
2) Lots of unexplained explosions in Iran these days around nuclear facilities and lots of suspicion of Israel.
3) No seemingly sincere allied support from POTUS and Israel, although POTUS asserts he is Israel’s strongest supporter ever in the office of POTUS. This is manifest by his celebration of Hanukkah last week (go figure).
4) Perhaps intel being gathered by the drone was such high value that it dwarfed the value of the drone,...fly until it crashes, then safely land it at an airstrip and retrieve it diplomatically.
5) Perhaps is a diplomatic test. Will Iran cooperate with the US?
6) Perhaps POTUS gained valuable intel on the strikes against Iran and wanted to share with Iran, but with plausible deniability. Land the drone and let them find it. Instead of being quiet of their find, they blunder into broadcasting their victory. If POTUS is an enemy if Israel and drone had smoking gun evidence, then he is making an overture to Iran.
7) Scarier still, what if Iran returns the drone.
8) The pretty please request for Iran to return the drone is a half thought out request. The only value would be to appear to defuse diplomatic tension, while appearing adversarial to Israel. Would anybody in their right mind use the drone again or even open it up in fear of an IED or malware installed? It more likely would become an antiaircraft weapon target.
Here we go again...
Answer me one question. If we never went to the moon, where did those reflectors that scientists routinely bounce laser beams off of come from? You know....the ones on the moon? You do know about those, don't you?
