He asked nicely ... he has that open hand policy you know ...

They said NO .. .pound salt.

[Sir Napsalot]

>>> I’m surprised he had the guts to take out bin Laden.

I highly doubted it was his decision.

Just like the somali pirates hijacking Maersk Alabama who met three simultaneous plinking in the heads, the decision was taken out of his and his admin’s hands. They did everything they could to hinder the rescue mission.

Gotta say, love our SEALs sniper teams, on an Easter Sunday, no less.

[Sir Napsalot]

Before you throw ‘idiots’ around too much, which ONE of the commenters said Obama is the one responsible flying the drone?

People were reacting to HIS stupid actions/decisions for the ‘international incidents’, so those are off limits too?

I think you are the one who should take a couple minutes to chill out.

Il Douche asked? That oughta do ‘er! Who carried the request, Ron Paul? [cue up War’s “Why Can’t We Be Friends”].

[Grunthor]

I wonder who his pot connection is.

@iowahawkblog David Burge #WarEtiquette if the theocratic nuclear madmen return(s) you(r) drones, don't forget to follow up with a thoughtful personal thank-you note.

It no longer even matters if they do return it. They’ve had enough time to have engineers go over it and study it thoroughly.

[chessplayer]

They might if obama gives them some nukes or gazillions of dollars.

[unkus]

Your tag line fits us all. What a disaster we’re being subjected to. What an evil, vile creature he is.
0bama the sinister.

[hal ogen]

Feckless...truly feckless.

The military screwed up, they should have hit it within 2 or 3 minutes of losing it, assuming they knew where it is.

And perhaps the military did not screw up. If the Iranians were in fact able to unlink our American-based "pilot" and were able to take over the controls, one would think that more than just the Iranians were involved in this. Perhaps he should have at least grounded the drones flying outside of Afghanistan until this virus was completely taken care of.

American war drones on despite virus

Two years ago there already was a scandal involving US drones, after American servicemen obtained a laptop belonging to Iraqi insurgents, with video footage files from drones on them. It was said Iraqis might have used a Russian or Chinese program to intercept the video signal from a drone and that the program could have cost as little as US$26.



Do you think Obama oversea’s the flying of our drones

Do I think he is? No. Do I think he SHOULD be intimately involved with daily reports on the activities of our drones flying very close to international airspace borders? Hell Yeah. He is our CIC.
