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

I'd be more worried if whoever he appointed as Sec. of Defense didn't know the difference between a Predator and a Sentinel.

I thought it was an RQ 170

Do you know what the Q stands for?

[X-spurt]

What difference would it make? You think 4 people watching knew which is which? No!

Perry gets an A+ for kicking nobama’s rearend with it!

At least he now realizes that "aviation assets" on the border need to be "in the air" and not "on the ground".

I don’t see how knowing that would make difference. I don’t expect the President to know a lot about every peice of equipment in the government inventory.

"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!

While probably true amongst technological afficionados or military-experienced personnel that it could be construed as a 'gaffe,' I believe that the large majority of the population who look at an unmanned aircraft automatically think of "Predator" - because that is what our traitorous MSM always refers to when they are denouncing supposed civilian collateral damage caused by the military.

I've lambasted Perry here on other topics, but on this one, he is DEAD SPOT ON! Take it to Obama - take it FAST, and take it FURIOUSly!

I think you can make the case that “predator” has become almost a generic word for UAVs because they are the ones the public hears about the most.

This doesn’t bother me.
