    The USA-ZOGs weapons really are not all that great. This has happened before:

    The plane was flying too low and was spotted and shot down. It's not like it's actually invisible Maybe they should teach the video game players that control them not to fly that low.

    So now, thanks to Americans, Iran has a stealth fighter as well as nuclear weapons.

    Perhaps that's not the brightest strategy the US could use against a new ME power which happens to dislike Americans - and Israelis who are no doubt now desperately seek an antidote.

    But it looks as though stealth is less than it's cracked up to be. Seein' as someone saw it and potted it.

    Not liable, but likely underway! They will get their Chinese friends to build them a good one and teach them to mass produce it for half the price..

    They'll likely sell it to someone who can do something, and then what, 10 years minimum until they field anything. We've been flying our own tech around for so long we've likely got the ability to detect it. It's not invisible, it's just really small, atleast from my understanding.

    Ah yes, we have Awryly .....first with his theory on American soldiers taking off their shoes to "tinkle" (har-de-har-har)...... and, NOW, we have a drone being a "stealth fighter".

    Hmmmmmmmm...... Could be that Awryly is "tinkling" into the wind again.....

    Daggdag .......again with the "SEEMING" ISLAMOFASCIST, and/or ISLAMOFASCIST Supporting CRAPPOLA.

    And, let's not ignore the possibility of a LIEberrhoidal spouting the usual puke.

    FYI, a drone is NOT a plane ...... Although with delusionals, of course, apples turn into chairs, and drones into.....what was it ? Oh yes ....."planes".

    This reminds me of Ironman when the terrorists were trying to figure out how to put the ironman suit back together. Two guys sitting in a tent looking realy confused since they were completely clueless on what to do next.

    Yep. This will almost certainly be used as an excuse for preemptive war with Iran

    I saw several sources that said it was a remote spy plan. You know, like the number of remote controled planes that the US military uses. Such as the Reaper.

    None of this would have happened if Bush was still president - gas would be $1, economy would sore, and employement would be down to 1-2%

    Bush betrayed us in other ways. He left the Mexican border undefended. He made the mistake of invading Iraq. He didn't even have a plan for occupation. He was a Big Govt. Republican.

    Nah. Bush just put the US economy into a nosedive.

    Thanks to Obama, it didn't quite hit the ground.

    The downed plane was an advanced stealth version. China is way behind America in drone technology. This event will help it catch up.

    Well if Bachmann was POTUS gas would be 20 cents.

    The drones only cost 4.5 million. Let China have it, we borrowed the money from them to build it.

    Good thinking. Give the Chinese cheap stealth drones so they can see everything you're doing.

    They might even improve them so they can't get shot down.

    Lost U.S. drone's sensors could hold vital data
    8 Dec.`11 - A stealthy drone, alleged to be a American, unveiled by Iranian officials would be more valuable to U.S. adversaries for its onboard sensors than for its radar-evading capabilities, defense experts said Thursday.

    Loss of plane peels back layer in U.S.-Iran spying
    10 Dec.`11 WASHINGTON (AP) – The loss to Iran of the CIA's surveillance drone bristling with advanced spy technology is more than a propaganda coup and intelligence windfall for the Tehran government. The plane's capture has peeled back another layer of secrecy from expanding U.S. operations against Iran's nuclear and military programs.

    Merry Christmas China and Russia.

    But when you start worse than useless wars and conduct surveillance for a "trusted ally", you have to be prepared to pay the consequences.

    And isn't it ironic that the Chinese will get access to secret US technology paid for with dollars borrowed from China?

    Russians providing Iran with radar jamming equipment is a bigger problem than a downed spy drone...
    :omg:
    Russians providing jamming equipment to Iran is worse news than downed spy drone: Bolton
    Monday 12th December, 2011 - Former US ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton has said that reports suggesting that Russia provided jamming equipment to Iran is even worse than the news of Tehran capturing an American spy drone.

    Obama should get down on his hands and knees and beg for forgiveness from the Iranians. Obama's good at begging.
