Hmmm, interesting theory and quite plausible.

Sounds like you need to be working for the Pentagon in the damage control department.

Difference in design and how they crashed would be my guess.

I hope we have provisions in place for this scenario. Knowing our military, I'm thinking we do.

Jon Stewart's 3rd skit is probably pretty close to the truth.

If that's the case then we could have saved a few million and simply parachuted a 2010 YZ450 into Tehran...

He wanted to ensure that we check all the boxes before sending our Tomahawks in to ask the second time?

That or he wanted to look weak to the world.

Looks like a "Hack" job to me. Also, destroying it with a cruise missile would be considered an act of war...big no-no right now I think.
