the evil Iranians

the evil Iranians

What make you believe the Iranians actually took control and landed it? We have gone through this before and NOT ONE have put forth a credible explanation on how can Iran crack a triple-DES encrypted real time airborne data link.

i have no evidence for or against....just saying that which is being reported to us

and quite frankly -- if I were at the Pentagon i'd just tell everyone not to make a big deal out of it. Panetta looks like a helpless idiot when he asks the Iranians to politely return the spy plane they were flying clandestinely over their air space.


incidentally, due to whatever breach there was (or whatever the reason) Linux will be the standardized operating system of use in the future; linux being a bit more secure

Feeding it false gps signals should be considered landing it. And that does not necessarily require cracking any encryption.

Well, maybe I should've said 'some Indians' instead. Statistically speaking, since when I've been posting on here, I've seen that around 90% of the Indians on this forum are very pro-US. That's what my experiences on this forum suggest. I have nothing against India or Indians though, they are free to be pro-US and It's none of my business, neither do I care about it; but as my experiences suggest, 9 out of 10 Indians on this forum are overly pro-US. I should reiterate that I didn't say that because I was being anti-Indian, Iran and India have always had good ties, but that's just my opinion.

Well neither of us are Pro US. its just the interest that matters. If that was the case Indians would be willing to buy oil from Iran. Iran and India have a long history way beyond the time when US even existed. As far as Iran goes we agree with Iran on certain points but differ on the other. It cannot be more simpler that that. we dont want another nuke power in the area which can disturb the balance further but at the same time we also dont want a sanctioned secluded Iran.

As far as India goes it can very well hold the key for Iran for the west in improving relations. Its all about playing the right cards.

You come to my home in peace you are most welcome and would do what ever we can do to serve you as the traditions are in the subcontinent. But at the same time Americans and Israelis are welcome too.

Yup. Best evidence. Got it? Then show it. In fact, we do not even want it back, we can churn out them out just as fast as Iran can Photochop missiles, just let our engineers, nay, technicians, examine whatever it is. Let the whole thing be under Swiss supervision and let them videotape it for all the world to see.

osama was killed? got evidence? show it.

What if Iran does possess the drone but in pieces because of the crash? How do you explain the video showing a very much intact aircraft?

Ever consider that possibility? Of course not.

What if there really were Unicorns and Leprechauns?


Oh and the Defense Secretary wants Iran to return his light-saber

 

[gambit]

osama was killed? got evidence? show it.

Third party confirmation, as in how al-Qaeda pretty much confirmed it. After all, since they cannot see and hear Osama after a while...

So how about letting third parties inspect the captured drone?

Which is what and by whom?

and quite frankly -- if I were at the Pentagon i'd just tell everyone not to make a big deal out of it. Panetta looks like a helpless idiot when he asks the Iranians to politely return the spy plane they were flying clandestinely over their air space.

And can we say those two fools in that dog-and-pony show video looks like fools? Looky here...Calling people names is not going to get your argument anywhere. We do not even want it back. Just let third parties inspect and do not censor their reports. What is there for Iran to be afraid of?

Then why cover up the underside in that video? Just show us the landing gear's manufacturer tag. Is that too much to ask?

Maybe cause they missed the altitude by a few meters, and so its belly got damaged?

Just like your President confirmed the missing drone by asking for it back.

Then show it. What is the point of covering it up?

 

[Roybot]

Bit juvenile! Not sure what Iran gets out of such antics

 

[gambit]

Nope. The US is saying: Bring it if you got it.

 

[Generally Khan]

• President of United States, "We’ve asked for it back. We’ll see how the Iranians respond."
  
• United States Secretary of State, "We submitted a formal request for the return of our lost equipment."
  
• Former Vice President of the United States, "The right response would have been to go in immediately after it had gone down and destroy it."

Dont Let Your Denails Turn Into Delusions...
