Only an idiot would expect Iran to return the drone. I have said from the beginning that Iran figured a way to jam the drones signals from the US. I still believe that, and it’s a bad situation.

Of course Iran isn’t going to return it.

The U.S. should have destroyed it.

I understand that drone could have been destroyed by small missile from Predator.

What you are saying is that US military satellites have been compromised. If what you allege is true, the entire military, including all of our aircraft, ground troops and navigational weapons (smart artillery, JDAM, etc.) can now be controlled by the enemy. Also, this would include any secure communications too.

I vote for "inside job" in the same way that Clinton orchestrated the give-away of missile guidance technology through Loral to China.

As a conspiratorialist caller to Rush's show claimed - if this was stealth technology, how did Iran even know where it was unless they were told where to look and when?

It wasn't destroyed or recovered because our government, including our military wanted it to be found by the enemy.

That thought ought to gravely concern you.
