Gov. Rick Perry, a contender for the Republican nomination for U.S. President, lambasted President Barack Obama Sunday for failing to keep a highly valued spy drone from falling into the hands of Iran's armed forces.
Perry was referring to a report on Fox news, according to which the US military offered Obama different courses of action for retrieving the drone or destroying it when it came down on Iranian soil last week, but he rejected both options for fear that they would be seen as acts of war.
"This president now, with Iran getting one of our predator drones in their possession(…), he had two choices. Actually, he had three. He chose the worst," Perry accused. "And those two opportunities he had was to either retrieve that drone or to destroy it. And he did the worst of the three. And he did absolutely nothing. And the Russians and the Chinese will have our highly technical equipment now.

Perry is a clown. Please spare us the foreign policy lectures.
ReplyDeleteThis is the game changer Obama is finished.
ReplyDeleteClown or not, Obama must go!
ReplyDeleteMaybe this is a stupid question but, why would the POTUS be the guy that makes that petty call?...It's just a multi million dollar piece of equipment...or did he just give away our technology to the highest bidder? hmmm
ReplyDeleteWhats really funny is that you are the same guys that say "Obama shouldn't get credit for ordering the Obama hit, he didn't do anything", yet now you seem to have flipped your view on the Pres.'s role. Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone been paying attention?
ReplyDeleteIt's been known for months that a virus/trojan attack on the drone system existed ...
where were our military tech people?
Where were the manufacturer's who received billions to produce these drones?
WTF did they think was the purpose of the "infection", what was the intent & would happen if not ameliorated?
Why is it whenever we have a Democrat in the White House our military technology ends up in our enemies hands?
