"That’s a good question — and according to former VP Dick Cheney’s contacts, Barack Obama didn’t lack for options to keep the highly-classified drone from falling into the Iranian military’s hands. In an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett, Cheney wonders why Obama didn’t order an air strike on the downed aircraft while he still had the chance:"...
"...“was told the president had three options on his desk and he rejected all of them.” The options all involved destroying the drone on the ground.
" “You can do that from the air,” he said. “And, in effect, make it impossible for them to benefit from having captured that drone.” "
Romney: Obama’s A Wimp For Not Destroying That Drone
He (Obama) was extraordinarily weak and timid in a time of … a critical moment. This will have severe implications for us, long term, and it was a terrible mistake on his part. I find it incomprehensible that he didn’t destroy it, or go get it. I think destroying it would have been a good deal easier. Destroy it immediately, or go get it. But the idea of letting it fall into the hands of people who will use it against us, use the intelligence capacity against us, is an extremely enormous mistake on the part of this president.DEBKAfile: Iran propositions Saudis, seeks anti-US pact, offers nuclear cooperation "This TV item informed Tehran exactly how high the Saudis rate Iran's regional standing and the stability of its government."
