Maybe if Obama met with Ahmajinedad,....profusedly apologized for the United States, .....and BOWED really low,....they might consider giving him his plane.

Maybe they could talk about this simple misunderstanding over a non-alcoholic beer or two. He could bring Oprah and Michael Jordan along to add some gravitas to the meeting, or maybe Bill Ayers who can think like Ahmedinejad.

Not even close, that's like comparing a model T to a Ferrari. Stealth employs multiple technologies, the shape and materials as I already mentioned but it also employs tech to reduce heat signatures, sound and a long list of other things. Proabaly the most important thing they will learn from this plane is how they reduce the radar cross section from the jet engines. They also have an example to test different methods of detection to defeat it.

Having said that I've wondered if this was really an accident. Certainly the possibility exists it was done on purpose to send the Iranians and anyone else that gets their hands on it off on a wild goose chase.

History repeats itself as Iran held carter hostage as it now holds obama hostage.....only a change in president broke the stalemate.

Early on some claimed it was the same guy now in power in Iran who was involved in the capture of the US reps under carter. Was said to be a different 'student terrorist'.

Lightbulb Iran Mocks Obama After He Asks for Downed Drone Back. Says He Begs to Give Him Back His Toy Plane

“Obama is hoping that the Iranian government is in a Christmas mood because he has asked Tehran to send him his Christmas present. Iran mocks Obama who ‘begged’ for [his] Drone back,” goaded Fars News Agency on Tuesday."

“This is not only an intelligence victory for us, but a defeat for our enemies,” said a senior commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps."

After the right wing collective lobotomy over Libya last spring, it isn't the least bit suprising that the Qadaffi-lovers have now become Iran-lovers.

So amusing to see these right wingers call themselves, "patriots."

Cheney is only in love with war if somebody else has to do all the heavy lifting, fighting, and dying. He's 100% for it if he can sit at his desk in his leather chair and whine to Fox News about everyone who doesn't share his passion.

Bold talk, no walk

Ah, so you believe the Iranians to be a credible source?

Guess that destroys Ronnie Reagan's legacy, doesn't it.

And of course, you believe the Iranians, don't you!

How shameful and traitorous of you.
