Do you actually believe, this company could send anything, not okay'd by Ahmadinejad or Tehran??? I'll bet you, it was his idea.

Oh... and Ahmadinejad again demonstrates his brilliant and cutting ability to humiliate his foes and demonstrate his spectacular leadership on the world stage through his masterful use of pink toys.

The entire administration stands abashed by this deft display of cutting whit and and global perspicacity. Most of all... Obama, who is left to gnash his teeth all alone in the oval office, staring at the tiny plastic drone while wearing his "I sent Seal team Six to Abbotabad, and all I got was this dead terrorist" t-shirt.

Oh, the humanity!!

Funny that folks have brought up the Bush/thrown shoe incident, because, as I recall, he laughed it off, and was making jokes about it ("All I can tell you is it was a size 10") I thought he handled it pretty well honestly.
You know what? That's probably what Omaba is doing as well. Laughing it off, possibly with a dismissive wanking motion.
I suppose some around here would have him declare war over a pink toy, but fortunately he has something they lack: Perspective.

As for terrorists they have all been killed or run off to somalia to become pirates while we were actually fighting em. Now its a cut and run display that we all knew was coming by the democrats. Drop the bombs from the sky like bubba did in the balkans. Kill a bunch of civilians who cares as it doesn't make the "shocking" headlines. Libya anybody???
You'll flip flop like a dying fish to desperately fit your "only Republicans can ever do anything right" story, including living in the delusional state of belief that all of the successful Al Quaeda hits over the past two years didn't happen. That's pretty pathetic. "Oh, a successful strike happened under a Democratic administration - that can't be right?! It must not have happened!" I'm sure you practiced this same willful avoidance of reality when it came to the much smaller number of Al Quaeda leadership that were killed when Bush was in office.

You can stick your head in the sand and pretend like all of the things that happened didn't happen, but that won't change reality. And the reality is that a sizable (and larger than in past) number of senior Al Quaeda leaders have been wiped off the map due to aggressive administration policy, in part involving drones. And there's no backing away from that.

And again...who gives a crap if Ahmadinejad sends us a pink toy plane? If push comes to shove, this country under this President will send him back a lot more than that, and don't think he doesn't know it.

Your comparing a drone, to a shoe. It would've, been better for Iran to have a shoe!!!

Looks like Iran has their fist still clenched!!

Rational people have been through this before:

(1) because the image of it will become a very potent recruiting tool for all walks of radical Muslims against the USA. And right after the strike when tensions are highest, that's not what we need. By the way, there's a lot of other images and info relating to military strikes that the government has no obligation or interest to show you.

(2) even if you show the image, all the armchair "forensics experts" across America will still not believe it, because they will say that it was photoshopped, the blood doesn't look real, oh look the hair looks like it was a wig, blah blah blah. The real thing to go by is the DNA evidence, and if they released it to you, you likely wouldn't even understand it scientifically for one thing...but that still wouldn't stop "experts" from posting all about how the DNA tests were faked, etc. The door for a conspiracy argument is never closed...just ask the birthers about that one.

I agree. But if we didn't want them to get their grubby mitts on a drone, We probably shouldn't have been flying it in their sovereign airspace.
