Obama’s options:
1. Call it a fake and forfeit any covert opportunity to act on this charade in the future.
2. Tell Iran to keep it.
3. Ask for it back.
But you keep believing your government. I guess you really don’t have any reason not to. Especially with Obama running the show. We can all trust him...can’t we?
You still haven’t answered why you think they are hiding the landing gear... have you? I’ve asked several times. Care to take a swing at it?
Your evading the question.
Why would the President of the United States be requesting they give us their "fake" drone?
Stop evading the question.
>I would guess, those taking control of the drone, would have difficulty landing this aircraft, never having done so previously, and the gear was possibly compromised on landing?<
The drone is a fake and you are completely ignorant on this subject.
Your evading the question.
Once again, why would the President of the United States be requesting they give us their "fake" drone?
Obama’s options:
1. Call it a fake and forfeit any covert opportunity to act on this charade in the future.
——— Ok. Keep going on that scenario. Then the Iranians know it’s a fake. The Chinese and russians know they didn’t help, and they doubt the Iranians are capable of anything superior to their own tech. Meanwhile, Iranians bank a huge propaganda win and we encourage them. So now, 3 months or 3 years form now if we don’t call it a fake now, how exactly do we use it to turn the table? Tell everyone, “Just kidding we lied, but we’re not lying now.” Pretend we catch an Iranian UAV in Omaha?
2. Tell Iran to keep it.
-—— Ok. Well how would that help? We admit to their charade and support it by endorsing their story?
3. Ask for it back.
-—— Ok. Obama’s soft, “limpwick” diplomacy. We get that.
You forgot 4. Bomb it into rubble.
-—— If it is ours, and they didn’t do this, then three options A) our military is incompetent, B) Obama is a spineless coward who was afraid to risk bomber pilots over Iranian airspace, C) It’s an Iranian ruse, so you don’t bomb a toy. Not A. Maybe C, but I think we can all admit that B is very likely too?
You forgot 5. No comment on intelligence issues.
