Now ISIS has drones?
CNN ^ | 08/25/14 | By Peter Bergen and Emily Schneider

Posted on 08/25/2014 6:44:13 AM PDT by winoneforthegipper

In a video uploaded to YouTube on Saturday purportedly by the terrorist group ISIS, various scenes of jihadist propaganda flash across the screen: militants reading verses from the Quran and examining a map of northern Syria, clips of violent clashes and explosions.

But this video had something else in it that previous videos released by ISIS have not: Surveillance footage apparently shot by a drone.

Logistics I think would be the only stumbling block keeping ISIS from terrorizing our souls on our soil. How long before that is overcome?

They’ve got tons of money, plenty of willing soldiers, and all kinds of weapons and armaments. We have an open border and a government more interested in repressing its own citizens than protecting them.

We have to foil 100% of their plots, they only have to get 1 past us to do major damage. And, after seeing zero response to Benghazi and other atrocities against America citizens, they can’t fear any significant reprisal from us.

So, if they decide to hit us, they will hit us, and American citizens will die here on our soil because our government is unwilling and unable to do its first and most important job.

9/11 is two weeks away.

How much is being imported across our Southern border every day with the active connivance of the Obama functionaries?

Yeah, and every one of them has a lipstick mark and “With love, from Barack Obama” scrawled on the user manual.

They have all the arms that are in the areas they conquer, the $2 billion they got from the Mosul bank, $2 million a day from the oil they’re selling and willing arms providers in Russia + China + Iran. Our only “hope” is that they take a liking to all the US arms that Obama left there as then we can control some availability of spare parts.

The “O” administration is a petri dish.

It has been from the first... and the ‘culture’ is rampant by now.

Yep...they got some Ravens from Talil for sure. I don’t think we left any Pioneers, Hunters, Shadows there. We may have though. Those are old birds that operated in and around Iraq. It would have been contracters from General Atomics or AIA working them since the durka durkas couldnt keep them in the air.

Anyone with a “go pro” can be said to have a drone.

My friend filmed his house from nearly 2000 feet up with a remote control helicopter and a go-pro camera.

I have a drone. It can fly pretty high and I can see live video from it.

Cost me a few hundred bucks.

I keep flying it into my pool. I guess I need to quit work and practice some more.

I've seen more "culture" in the bottom of the glass that holds the tooth brushes!

I would think this is more than gopro...given the fact they have weapon caches now from Syria, Syrian supposed freedom fighters and Iraq.

Now for sure at the least they have a few migs, sidewinders and more manpads from Tabqa airbase....so play it as u will.

Afghanistan was a stone-aged wasteland.
In Iraq there were far more advanced electronic goodies for them to pilfer. Particularly after we had thoughtfully provided them to the useless Iraqi Army.
