Perry Slams Obama Over Downed Drone: "This President Is The Problem"

December 10th, 2011

"The idea this president now, with Iran getting one of our predator drones in their possession, and he had opportunities -- he had two choices. Actually, he had three. He chose the worse. And those two opportunities he had was to either retrieve that drone or to destroy it. And he did the worst of the three. And he did absolutely nothing. And the Russians and the Chinese will have our highly technical equipment now. This president is the problem, not something Newt Gingrich said."

I agree, Perry highlighted that Obama is on the other team.
He is against Americas interests.

I would give my left nut to go up in a U2.

I have never been, but I have been at the helm a fast attack sub

That's nice.

"R" still means reconnaissance, and "Q" still means unmanned.

Nobody, not even you, needs to depend on any claims of personal expertise on my part to verify that.

The designations for U-2 in any of its forms (also TR-1 and ER-1) does not follow convention, nor did the designation "SR-71".

Funny, I worked on a sub for ages on an ANQ WLR-4

Seems to me that the darned thing was manned

So ... tell me:

What's the stall speed of an ANQ WLR-4? What's it's max gross? What kind of engines does it have?

Oh, wait. It's not an aircraft, is it?

We're talking about aircraft designations.

So military nomenclature is a goofy business.

I also worked MLQ 38 and 39 I forget the nomenclature for the Blackhawk I now it was ALQ, and I cant recall the nomenclature fore the Marine LAV based platform.

It was all the same system

Man that LAV was a hoot to run! I like the jarheads, they were like "Can we run this thing on the move?" Sharp cookies.

Nice hat tip from Perry to King. Wonder if King supports Perry’s in-state tuition for illegals?

"It would help Perry’s chances if he knew the difference between a Predator and a Sentinel."

If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you. Governor Perry has been talking about drones in the air over our border ever since I heard him talk to Gretta Van Susteren. And Perry has pointed the finger to the border problem at Herr Zer0 for years.

When life becomes endless rounds of golf and luxury vacations, the mind goes soft. Herr Zer0’s mind has got soft. It is in the fantasy world of the Unicorn Farm. His mind is consumed with getting those big rich guys who are taking money from the poor and middle class--instead of our enemies in Iran.

Start asking these questions Herr Question Maker: How did the drone get on the ground without a scratch? How do you suppose Iran is able to hack into the operating controls of our drones and now, with a click of a laptop, cause the drone to land at the feet of our Iranian enemies? How were these top secrets compromised to unlock the code that controls the drone?

Iranian TV has broadcast footage of an advanced US drone aircraft that Tehran says it brought down using electronic methods to override its controls. This is a huge security leak. Iran will make sure everybody and their uncle will be able to defeat our drones. No more finding Osama bin Laden or taking out a terrorist.

Zer0 is unfit for Commander in Chief and you should be asking questions about that! FUBO!

We’re off on a tangent here.

There is something I like about Perry.
There is an honesty that I believe, there is a tenacity that I admire.

I agree ...

Perry might not have detailed knowledge of the various UAV/UAS we play around with, but he has good instincts regarding how they should be handled. He also correctly recognizes the threat posed to these United States by Zero's unpatriotic feckless idiocy.
