Oh, absolutely. It's the talk of the Muslim world and has been the running headline on Al Jazeera for weeks.

The pink toy drone has completely eclipsed all coverage of the growing civil war in Syria, the increasing Chaos in Senegal or the failure of the Arab League.

Pink toy drone... that's what everybody's wringing their hands about.

"Pakistan is known for a lot of bad things but it is time for us to be known for some good things too, like our beer," Isphanyar Bhandara, whose family owns the brewery, said.
Under Pakistani law, drinking alcohol is illegal for Muslims - who make up 97 per cent of the country's 173 million people - although no one has been lashed for drinking since the 1980s.

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but it was a private group of citizens who sent the plane. More of a practical joke than anything else. If everyone would stop over-analyzing this, we could all have a good laugh, Obama included.

Pakistan overturns ban on booze . . . for export | News.com.au

The argument was... Muslims don't drink beer (alcohol in general). Now, I'm sure there are moderates and liberals among them that do, but that is besides the point. And what about 3% of 173 million?

I thought it was government policy that no government employee can accept gifts and the Iranians know this.

Just another PR stunt by the increasingly desperate Iranian regime...

Exactly. They know Obama is a joke. He won't do anything but what his followers here are doing. It should never have gotten to this point in the first place but when the arab world looks at you as weak and you show it in your every move this is what happens. They watched as the left whined and cried and threatened to pull troop funding the whole damn time we were over there during Bush's term, all for politics. They see our guys being tried for shooting their guys an laugh. I would be too if I were fighting a country and they were trying to imprison their own warriors for fighting the war. It's a joke, Obama is a joke and the entire world knows it.

Weapons sales.

More precisely, Illegal weapon sales. One of the most insidious details of this back-door deal was that the hostages wouldn't be released until after the inauguration, so it couldn't possibly be perceived as happening on Carter's watch. Talk about putting politics first.
