I think there are a couple of possibilities.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Obama is terrified of having to make decisions that have real consequences.<\/li>\n<li>Obama actually wants the Iranians to have the drone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Option 1 is the most likely of course. Obama hates to make decisions other than which club to use on the golf course. If it was the second option, then Obama has just committed a potential act of treason. While I consider Obama to be a complete and utter moron, I don\u2019t think he\u2019s quite ready to risk impeachment and possible execution.<\/p>\n<p>As to how the drone ended up in Iran after an apparent soft landing, that is under investigation. As I understand it, f the drones lose contact with their base, they are programmed to fly home. It is possible that their frequencies have been hacked and the drone was ordered to fly into Iran. If that is the case, then we have a real problem now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/checkpoint-washington\/post\/drone-crashes-in-seychelles\/2011\/12\/13\/gIQAQ3PsrO_blog.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">And it\u2019s beginning to look like we are having a problem<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>U.S. military drone crashes in Seychelles<\/p>\n<p>One of the Air Force\u2019s premier drones crashed Tuesday morning in the Seychelles, the Indian Ocean archipelago that serves as a base for anti-piracy operations, as well as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/national-security\/us-building-secret-drone-bases-in-africa-arabian-peninsula-officials-say\/2011\/09\/20\/gIQAJ8rOjK_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. surveillance missions over Somalia<\/a>.
