we have an excellent sample of military "rotation" ...the drones, one was on station ready to return while another showed up to replace the first,so for a brief time both are on location ..that's how rotation is done

So do you think the source is lying about there not being an aircraft immediately available at Sigonella, or do you think they screwed up the rotation schedule either deliberately or out of incompetence? What do you think is going on?

Would Obama have authorized the drone to be there? Who would have determined whether the drone (either the original or the one that replaced it) had hellfires on them?
