Iran is also claiming that Chinese and Russian experts were granted access to the drone.

I wonder how much China had to funnel into Obama 2012 campaign coffers to purchase a fully intact cutting edge drone, that just happened to land in perfect condition. I guess Obama has really be studying how to win reelection form the Clinton playbook.

[Stevenc131]

Gosh, Obama has politely asked for the drone back. Hard to believe that Iran would keep it with Obama being so nice about it and all.

[larryleo]

Just another huge blunder on Obama’s watch.

[G Larry]

Scrubbed memory doesn’t take long to decode.

Obama is still an idiot for not having this destroyed before Iran got their hands on it!

[DonkeyBonker]

Hopefully they get the full picture of me flipping them the bird.

[listenhillary]

I hope we included some special features when the software is accessed without the right codes.

[B.O. Plenty]

I have often wondered what the US is going to do when a lunatic country gets a drone, and starts targeting US diplomats and military people in other countries.

It is not far fetched to think that there could be some hostile drones based somewhere in Mexico or Canada that could target Americans right here.

This captured drone just moves up the inevitable IMO...

[McGruff]

Iranian experts are in the final stages of recovering data from the U.S. surveillance drone captured by the country's armed forces

Now I know it's all

[cicero2k]

If Iran had the ability to detect and knock these things down, they would have by now. So this event is not that significant. They had a drone fall into their lap.

It’s not like we are in a drone race with Iran, or there is a drone gap. We would swat one of theirs down wandering over say, Boston; if a few minutes.

So the risk for us would be for them to re-purpose some technology. Not sure what that would be, but I’m thinking tha Iranian air superiorty is not one of the purposes.

[CORedneck]

I am sure our dear leader will support the lawsuit by Iran !

[Nachoman]

Iran's panel of experts:

[G Larry]

CAN WE TRADE THEM DRONES??!!!

Cuz we got one in D.C. that we’d cough up in a heart beat!

[Signalman]

The Pubbies need to clobber Obama on this colossal fiasco from now until the election.

[Hardraade]

“Decoded”? What moron thinks that Iran doesn’t have a full set of service manuals?

[bossmechanic]

what they mean is:
Red goes to positive
Black goes to negative
Green must be the ground.
The iranians couldn’t decode anything if you gave them your Capn’ Crunch decoder ring.
The russians and chinese on eht other hand.....

[tm61]

hopefully it reads:

“be sure to drink your ovaltine”

[LibLieSlayer]

obama gave the drone to them... there is no doubt in my mind... and panetta has destroyed our CIA and is now destroying the Military.

LLS

[baddog 219]

It was a gift....

[edpc]

Good. Check the info. Share it with others. I get the feeling there’s more than just standard code on it.

[Mariner]

I wonder what all that code will do once it hits laptops, servers, PLCs etc.

Don't be surprised if it's a non-working version of the drone which has been loaded with all sorts of goodies.
