We are hostile to Iran, spy on it, threaten with attacks and sanctions, freeze their bank assets in US and then we are looking for them to return the captured drone which was used to spy.
We must be kidding.... Are we dumb or think Iran is dumb?

Americans are utterly stupid. First, they lose a very highly-advanced spy plane to the Chinese (where do you think their newest ****ing technology is coming from?), now this.

The United States does not generally outsource innovation, let alone tech innovation, let alone military tech innovation. Source?

It could be an outlier, but by your track record, I'm guessing you made it up.

Get it clear - it isn't "we", it's our kum-by-yah appeaser president obama who absurdly asked for it back.

I tend to think that this demonstrates OBAMA'S stupidity more than Iran's.

How's that?

Apart from making a request that he knew wouldn't be granted (in order to get it on the official record), how did the President demonstrate his stupidity? By allowing a stealth drone to be flying over Iranian airspace (presumably checking out Iranian nuclear progress or air defences)? By not magically stopping the Iranians from hacking the GPS of the drone and tricking it into landing inside Iran? Just what was President Obama supposed to do that he didn't do?

Dumb****, you are unaware of the American spy plane forced to land in China by the Chinese Air Force? That was some of the most-advanced hardware the USA had in its arsenal. It ended up in Chinese hands. Reverse-engineer that shit, and you are now a world leader in technology. Americans are so stupid it pains we Canadians to be your neighbours.

Now I see what you were TRYING to say. Your subject was still the Americans in the parentheses, not the Chinese but you meant to say the Chinese got their tech from the Americans not the other way around.

He "got it on the record" - to what end? That doesn't make any sense - it just provided a laugh line for late night comedians.

Duhhhhhh - he's commander in chief of the military - right?? He maybe should have evaluated the characteristics and weaknesses of the drones before ordering a mission which could give the russians and chinese state of the art military technology - right??

What Chinese ?

Most of the high tech stuff is done by non-whites (Chinese etc.) in US.
So, who is copying from whom is questionable.
White man loves the innovation done by Chinese in US but hates Chinese.
Basketball analogy: They love black basketball players games but not the black man.

The mission was ordered by Directer Petraeus. Or did you miss the fact that it was a CIA mission?

You are a racist. That is also not necessarily true, nor does it matter. A lot of the "non-white" people still consider themselves to be American.

Oh and when it comes to military tech most of the innovation is done here, not in China ;) (actually even with a lot of regular tech- where do you think Apple or Google technology is primarily innovated?)

Do you have any links to Obama ordering the mission? The CIA (indeed the Homeland Security Department as a whole) is pretty autonomous.

Do you think the CIA publicizes their top secret missions on the internet? :p

No, the CIA isn't autonomous - it is under the ultimate command of the president, who is responsible for what it does.
