The Drone Affair is a provocation, pure and simple.
Why would an advanced unmanned aircraft that routinely flies over hostile territory be designed not to self-destruct in the event of imminent mechanical failure, but rather to seek a viable landing area? Has the U.S. military suddenly become penny-wise and pound-foolish?
As is the case with all sophisticated intelligence operations, was this one intended to A) deliver false impressions of state-of-the-art technologies, and B) stand as a casus belli?
This tells us nothing about Obama other than the fact that A) he obeys orders, and B) the echoes of Dealey Plaza yet reverberate about him.
