Iran has our used to be super secret drone plane, which should have been impossible for them to get, but it happened. So, what was President Obama's response? From CNN: President Barack Obama said Monday that the United States has asked Iran to return a U.S. drone aircraft that Iran claims it recently brought down in Iranian territory.
"We've asked for it back. We'll see how the Iranians respond," Obama said in a news conference, alongside Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. http://www.cnn.com/2011/12/12/world/meast/iran-us-drone/index.html?section=cnn_latest
We asked for it back. I am positive when the Iranians saw this or got the request, they probably pooped in their pants with all the laughter the were doing seriously, did Obama think the Iranians were going to say, "Oh sure, Barack, we'll give you your drone back. When pigs fly, maybe."
Dick Cheney was right when he said this, fromt he article: Former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday criticized Obama's decisions on the drone, but for an entirely different reason. He said that, after the aircraft went down, the president should have ordered an airstrike over Iran.
"The right response to that would have been to go in immediately after it had gone down and destroy it," the Republican, who served with President George W. Bush, told CNN's Erin Burnett. "You can do that from the air ... and, in effect, make it impossible for them to benefit from having captured that drone."
Instead, "he asked nicely for them to return it, and they aren't going to," Cheney said.
I think Obama got schooled by the Iranians in hard core diplomacy and the Iranians handed Obama's butt to him. I guess they didn't teach this kind of diplomacy in the colleges Obama went to. It wasn't in the text books he read and he didn't teach this in his classes in Chicago.
However, Obama is from Chicago and should know a thing or two about Chicago politicians and gangsters. If something like this happened to the gangsters in Chicago- they lose something valuable- the gangsters/politicians would have taken no prisoners and gone out and got their property. They would have asked for the property back, but they would have backed it up with force. For instance. Yo, you have our drugs. Give it back. Please. 5 seconds later, their knee caps would have been pureed and 10 seconds later, they would be fitted with cement shoes. and then the gang would have gotten nasty.
But Obama showed the world how weak he really is and it also showed the world he is not terribly bright. And who will pay for Obama's weakness? The United States.
