Another blow to US security

If the steady flow of nuclear secrets to the ChiComs over the last decade wasn't enough, the recent capture of one of our RQ-170 "stealth" drones might prove to be a game-changer as far as US military superiority goes. While Iran was beating its chest about the alleged shootdown of the drone, the US military and the Administration were of course denying the whole affair - until Iranian state television produced the aircraft (which appears largely intact) at a propaganda-laced media event - check out the US flag with skulls for stars!

The USAF transition from manned fighter and recce aircraft to a fleet of drones mandates that we maintain a huge edge in technology. These pesky little things can be used quite effectively against enemy targets, whether the "enemy" is some Al-Qaeda asshole - or the US imilitary tself.

Perhaps the most disturbing thing about Drone-gate are reports that the US military had a chance to go after the wayward UAV and destroy in on the ground where it went down. This of course was vetoed by Obama, who was afraid the violation of Iran's airspace would have been seen as an act of war. Will the buffoonery never end?
