You didn't read the very brief initial post. They have it, its not broken apart. Just like Iran.

Our weak president will probably apologize.

Yes he will. Either from the golf links or during a scheduled campaign event...


btw, why is he still campaigning?

We don't need a strong leader. We need an effective leader, like:

That was my thought as well-Iran was able to intercept a drone a few years back, it stands that Russia could do the same.

It is highly probable that Iran was assisted by Russia or some other country in intercepting the drone in order to share the intelligence gained by reverse engineering it. I am almost certain Russia is far more technically advanced when it comes to electronic attack capabilities as well.

This disregards the fact that Bush put into place the assets that eventually got OBL, and that AQ is expanding under Obama.
Bush had his problems, but he was a strong leader.
Obama, by nearly every measure is a weak leader-and the world knows it-they can read him like an open book.

Thats a very specific claim. They claim to have pictures, I would not be surprised if they do. Then what do you say?

So, we were spying on the Russians using drones, and they managed to capture one. Big deal. That's the purpose of using drones, isn't it, so that when one is captured, there is no hostage to parade about the square while hooting about how the evil US has been spying on them?

Remember Francis Gary Powers and his U2?

You guys know this is Russian propaganda right? Right? As in its not true, it didn't actually happen, its made up. You know that right?

Like the drone that was intercepted.

Oh, I see. The drone was "American forces."

Actually, it's more like them having found a bug in their headquarters and removed it. It's a device used for surveillance, nothing more. If they'd have shot down a military jet, that would be another matter.

I don't know that. You might be right, or perhaps not. It really doesn't matter. If they captured one of our surveillance drones, so what? If they're lying about having captured a drone, so what?

If we're not spying on them in one way or another, we certainly should be. I'd be very surprised to find out we're not.

Thats exactly the point. I'd argue Putin knows Obama isn't going to do a damn thing, so he's comfortable punking the US.

Im not punked by Putin's actions. Putin is like that gimp kid that always yelled crap from the screen door of the house. If you went to confront him...he'd run inside.

Kindly provide evidence of this, keeping in mind the same thing was said when Iran captured our drone.

Yes, its a military drone-so its military forces. And how exactly is shooting down a drone any worse?

This was a US drone in Ukraine, captured by Russians. Thats not the same as a drone being captured over Russia.

So what? It shows a disregard for the US, and shows Russia has the capability to down our drone.

Not shooting down a drone. Shooting down a military jet. It's the existence of a pilot that makes it worse.

Surely, we must have known that Russia had the capability of downing a drone. If Iran can do it, almost anyone can. Anyway, that's why we use drones, so there is no pilot to be rescued.

And yet the violation of the territorial sovereignty of Ukraine by Russia, and their belligerence to US military aircraft aren't exactly great either.

Iran was using russian tech, and Russia likely has been tweaking its techniques-and this proves they work.

This is about much more than the loss of a drone. Its not clear you understand that.

Well, they both seem to want to appease aggression. How many more times do you need before you figure out where that gets us?

Are you serious? Bush had nothing to do with catching bin laden. In fact he ruled out going into pakistan without pakistani permission. He, along with other repubs, even criticized obama in 08 for saying he would. He even said he didnt care about catching obl. Also the would thought he was a weak leader and thats why 9-11 even happened under his watch. Al qaeda has been decimated under obama. He has killed 30 of there top leaders. The disastrous Bush policy not only destroyed our economy, but our standing in the world.

Yeah, Bush going into Asia, and employing our intelligence resources there had nothing to do with it. :roll:

And sorry, but AQ is on the rise yet again, and in fact flies its flag over several cities it did not under Bush.

Your failed attempt at revisionism is pathetic.
