After the great orator requested they return the downed drone. Obama has become the laughing stock of the world. This is actually what THEY wanted to begin with I guess so I'm not surprised.

"We wanted for Mr. Obama himself to have these toys and know that Iranians don't leave anyone's requests unanswered. We made the 'RQ' in pink as it is Mr. Obama's favourite colour and we will send it to him via the Swiss embassy on Bahman 12 (February 1)."

He is being made a fool in front of the entire world by Iran. Not just sending a toy plane but a pink one. Yeah the terrorists are running for cover in Iraq and Afghan. Oops we left Iraq and just let some leaders go from gitmo so the taliban would negotiate with us. Good work Obama!! NOT

What are we supposed to do, go in and nuke 'em? Start yet another pointless war (that we can't afford in blood OR dollars) with another country that is absolutely no threat to us? This is not a fascist nation, we don't operate that way.

Who said anything about nuking anybody?? What is it with you folks?? Who says war is pointless to begin with? Do you even know why we have been fighting these wars recently? Apparently not. You are and have been reaping the rewards of our monetary policy. That should give you a clue.

Jesus...i'm embarrassed for Barack Obama right now. First, the Pakistanis let the Chinese come take a look (and presumably samples) from our downed stealth chopper in the Bin Laden raid, then we lose a stealth drone to the Iranians.....and then they taunt him with a pink toy drone?

Just wow. How's that "Reset Button" working out Barack?

Reagan is sworn in promising to carry a "Big Stick" and the Iranians send home our hostages.

Obama is sworn in promising to hit the "Reset Button" and he's taunted with a pink toy drone.

I think the diffferences in approach are very obvious, as well are the outcomes.

Ouch. A pink toy drone.

What a horrible blot on the dignity of our nation.

The deafening sound of collective national humiliation is unbearable. Our empire has fallen, our defeat is comprehensive, crushing and irreversible. The Iranian's won.

The made a pink toy drone. Better start learning Farsi.

And what did that "big stick" turn to be?



Weapons sales.
