Didn’t any of the incompetents whop developed the thing think to put a demolition in the thing so when it was “out of their control” it would blow itself to pieces?????? I bet the developers made a lot of money developing it.

. . . the senior U.S. official also told Fox News that President Obama was presented with three separate options for retrieving or destroying the drone. The president ultimately decided not to proceed with any of the plans because it could have been seen as an act of war, the official told Fox News.

This makes no sense.

this thing auto-landed, gear down, on a smooth surface. ON ITS OWN?????

Something REALLY smells here.

ANY other aircraft would be visibly damaged.

Chinese will be selling knockoffs of this within a year, idrone, buy it now.

[Tenacious 1]

There goes 20 years of our technological military advantage.

In 10 years, the world will have caught up. America’s standing in the world economically and now militarilly is in free fall as evil races to catch up without having to spend all the R&D money.

" The official said there are real fears the Iranians will share this technology with the Russians and the Chinese, in addition to using it themselves.

What about the North Koreans? Can we assume the 'self destruct' software wasn't working? Please - we DO have self destruct software on these babies, right?

I wonder if it was piloted by a Muslim Brotherhood member from our wonderful outreach program? You know, to show how PC we are?

“What happened to your drone, Achmed?”

Considering the condition of the aircraft, the senior U.S. official also told Fox News that President Obama was presented with three separate options for retrieving or destroying the drone. The president ultimately decided not to proceed with any of the plans because it could have been seen as an act of war, the official told Fox News.

Reagan would have demanded it be returned within 24 hours or the bombs start falling and he would have backed that up with action. Obama does nothing. How many Americans will die in the future because of this?

The Iranians will make a fortune off of this. The thing is huge.

[dadgum]

It has got to be a “Trojan Horse”.
Dear God, please let that be the case.

[Dallas59]

Probably a dummy. Great way to deliver a virus and tech that is now obsolete. Enemies start to copy the tech, we know exactly what they have. Meanwhile we deploy more advanced drones.

[Paine in the Neck]

I’d like to think it’s crammed full of Stuxnet-type viruses just waiting for the Iranians to download.
