But they can still loiter and strike when needed. And their surveillance capability will improve steadily. You're too dismissive.

I wasn't trying to be dismissive. As I said before, "Both are good, and have great future potential, but ..."

My main point was that the news organizations keep hyping up the Predator, showing rotating pictures of it, etc., over and over. You'd think it was the ultimate secret ISR weapon of the war or something.

No doubt its usefulness and capability will improve, and it certainly has utility right now for certain missions. However, the news folks are blowing its current usefulness way out of proportion.
