Cheney: Gee, Seems To Me A Missile Would Have Destroyed That Drone Pretty Effectively

Video of Cheney noting the president had three plans presented to him to destroy it, and turned them all down, bizarrely.

Because apparently there's some question about whether Iran, which murders US troops in Iraq, and the US are engaged in low-level hostilities.

By the way, I have no idea why "sending someone in to recover it" is even mentioned. It's a frigging drone. We can make another one. We don't need it back; we just need others not to have it themselves. There is no way in hell that is worth sending a team of men in for.

I think this whole "send someone in" notion is in the mix just to demonstrate how very unadvisable such a mission would be.

But no one with a brain in their head would send in men to bring it back out.

But blowing it up on the ground? For crying out loud.
