Iran shot down spy plane..

Yal been watching this??? Looks like big snafu to me... Looks like a mini stealth bomber... Not a peice of tech you want in the hands of a hostil country

yeah obama wouldn't let us bomb it or try to recover it.

I doubt they shot it down. No visible damage.

More likely they took control of it and landed it.

Another possibility: A muslim in the US DOD flew it down to them.

I heard that there isn't a remote det on these either. My guess is they used some sort of emp.

When it happened, the news reported that it wasn't shot down, but crashed instead and the one the Iranians have doesn't look much like the one the media was showing. Speculation is that the one their showing is a mock up or the real one pieced back together. They reported that the HD on the thing did have an auto erase function, but I was left with the feeling that might be speculation, as well. Iran says they aren't gonna return it, though and that if it happens again there will be a strong response. Come on ragheads, we want to see your strong response. To be perfectly honest, it's about time for us to go in there and kick some ass anyway. We have a little payback to deliver for past and/or present actions. We have a good excuse right now. They've got a piece of our hardware that we'd like to have back and they've got a retired FBI agent they're holding hostage. Sounds good enough for me.

Sure why not. we already got the resources in place.

I don't think we need to send One person into Iran if there is going to be rules of engagement. If you are not going to let them do their job keep them out of harms way.

Nuke'm. Turn the entire country into the largest live-fire range in the world. Let's spend another four trillion on ordanace and call it a job creation package.

+1

This plus the Pakistanis are pissed at us/NATO for accidentally killing 25 of their troops. Things not going good over there.

isolationism....

So if Iran crashed a spy plane in US territory, we'd hand it right back, right?

Just making sure.

That's a risk that any country takes when sending air craft into enemy air space...if it goes down they get a look see at the technology. And no, you ain't gettin' it back. I'm just glad we have unmanned drones doing that work...and they don't have a pilot in prison too.

Naw Man. I just needed an excuse to turn all that sand into glass. Hate to say it and I'm sure it wouldn't go over very well, but I think we were a little premature in giving up our nukes. I still subscribe to the scorched earth policy, because that's probably the only way we'll ever get their attention. We can find a spot for Israel over here somewhere, then just wipe the whole region off the face of the earth. Sound too radical? Probably so.

What ever happened to the stealth chopper than crashed when they took out Osama ? Bad guys getting there hands on some pretty good tech lately : (

He is giving it to them. Try him for treason.

Yes, and apologize . . . at least our current Apologist in Chief.

Gotta love china.... Why spend trillions on R&D when they can let us do it an they reverse engineer it.. Already heard they almost have a working F35 clone
