2. X-37B is watching

The US Airforce X-37B unmanned space plane has been in space for more than 9 months. I am quite sure it is watching what Iran is doing with that drone. No air force in the world can go toe to toe with the US Air Force. It is the only Air force that can strike 10,000 targets any where in the world in 48 hours. It is called global strike.

when will d lranian leaders and the U.S ever say the truth...
4. #2 that would explain all the wonderfull success

The US has enjoyed since WW2 thanks for the eye opening info. The smart thing would of been to simply destroy the dron before it hit land, as I am sure you know they all have self destruct options, but I guess its opertor is depended on this so-called global stike ability as it had in Lybia, Iraq, and Afganastan Not!!

...I thought it was part of an Obama skywriting commercial for re-election. Crashed and burned. Figures.

Seems that your "globla strike" went on strike in Afghanistan.
7. another theory
courtney ,   usa   (12.06.11)
would be it was intended to be "downed" in iran and taken back to their facilities where it can be further tracked and recon'd

What are you going to hit in Afghanistan? Afghanistan in my opinion isn't worth sh*t and we should pull out. Our objectives in Afghanistan are complete. We drove the Taliban from power and killed Osama Bin Laden even though it took a long time. Any country that occupies another country should know that it will bleed slowly. People just don't like to be occupied no matter who is doing the occupying.

sipahi ,   Istanbul   (12.06.11)
You drove Taliban from power? What news are you reading/watching? Afghanistan is a lost war. They control almost all of the country except Kabul... Get your facts true.
10. 9# Another inbred Turk out of the cult worshipping
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (12.06.11)
harem of the grand mufti? Where do they breed such a bunch of embiciles. The West Despises your cult following. As a Turk...You should be ashamed of yourself for supporting these animals.
11. #9 - you're both correct
William ,   Israel   (12.07.11)
The US indeed did drive the Taliban from power. That's obvious in the fact that Afghanistan now has an Olympic team with women athletes, women go to school and drive, and soccer stadiums are back to being used for sport rather than stonings. The Taliban today doesn't control Afghanistan as you claim. Rather, criminal war lords who are against Hamid Kharzi, and are in partnership with the Taliban for such criminal activities, rule most of Afghanistan. But I agree with you that Afghanistan is a lost war. Not lost by the US but by the Afghanis who are in the middle of Muslim tribal criminal gangs. Truth is, it might be best for everyone, especially Arabs, if these faux countries created by the British just devolve into their tribal regions circa 7th century.
