It matters a lot, if Iran actually has the power to commandeer drones, and land them intact (or otherwise). Everything has to be changed on our side. The US has to take everything into account now and make sure everything is secure.
To: indpndtguy
Either way, it was dereliction of duty to allow it to fall into enemy hands without destroying it first.
This is a phoney issue designed to deflect attention from the above serious national security breach by the obama regime.

because THESE words help effect attention away from the fact that 0traitor refused to allow the military to destroy the top secret survielliance drone in any of the THREE methods available.
the reports do elighten us to the fact that it went down in a VERY remote area.
the ‘reasons’ not to destroy the drone get weaker and weaker

It crashed, it was in pieces and the choices were...send in Seals to retrieve...destroy it from airstrike...leave it alone and go play golf.
To: indpndtguy
I am curious why the Iranians did not show the bottom half of the craft.

The problem still remains. Iran has it.And the Vacationer In Chief of the United States looks either like an indecisive wimp or a traitor. Take your pick.

There was a time when we could believe our government...
You have to go back to about 1959 to get to a time where the government could be somewhat trusted on what they say. Then in the nineties, starting with the first Bush, it started to get really bad, and has been going rapidly downhill ever since, with each successive administration getting more brazen. Now with Zero and his henchmen in office, it's nothing more than an in-your-face crime syndicate with carefully crafted "statements" released through the Ministry of Propaganda.

The US Government can't get its story straight about how they killed Osama Bin Laden.
If Iran didn't know the drone was there and it went down in a uninhabited area Iran wouldn't have found it in the first place. The Iranians probably hacked it with the help of the Chinese and the Russians. Now the entire fleet of US spy and attack drones are vulnerable and been compromised by Obama. It would be devastating to have our own predator drones taken over and used to attack US troops.
To: sten
Even if it crashed I would have blown it up no matter how remote it was. After that I would have go through existing procedures and change them.
I admit it is easy to be a keyboard commander and hindsight is 20/20.
By saying it crashed it still says that Obama did nothing to prevent it from falling into enemy hands. He still comes out looking bad at least in my eyes.
I think we here are all pretty much have the same opinion on this issue. It is just convincing other people who are not as informed or lack critical thinking skills.

I could have gone back to the Gary Powers incident, but didn’t want to tax our younger freepers.
