They send us a pink toy drone and we sent them the USS Abraham Lincoln and it's battle group...

Excellent trade...

Nothing is perfect. That one incident doesn't undo all of the administration's accomplishments, and it doesn't define the outcome of this standoff. The administration will likely keep up international pressure and keep flying drones over there as well.

And so what if Ahmadinejad makes some PR about sending a toy drone? It's all theatrics anyways. You think he'd behave somehow more politely under a Republican administration? Come on, get real.

Just because a lunatic dictator sends a pink toy plane to the president doesn't mean that the president isn't doing the right things; it mote likely indicates that the dictator is a lunatic.

So get over it... "But...he sent a PINK PLANE!" Who gives an F! Put on your big boy pants and think about this rationally. It doesn't mean anything.
I guess you have something to back up all the "leaders" taken out by Obama and his drone army. Don't even bring up bin hiden and his carcass tossed into the ocean as that is a bigger joke than this pink drone. That's probably another reason they're playing games. 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???

Only, beside your point. It doesn't matter, you claimed none drink beer, I proved you wrong, by showing some!!

It wasn't my point.

In any case, the point was correct. Muslims don't eat pork and don't drink alcohol. They only eat halaal meat (Jewish equivalent: kosher). This argument guarantees as much validity as does an argument that Christians eat meat.

Don't go around preaching that Muslims drink beer or alcohol.

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.
Not only does Obama get one, everyone can buy these and put them on a shelf as a reminder, US is no longer the "Super Power" she once was.................Iran Selling Toy Copies Of Captured Drone; Returns downed U.S. Drone to Obama: a miniature, pink plastic replica - Atlas Shrugs

All Obama supporters can do is whine, we're making President Obama look bad.

He does that himself. They are left to defend his actions, why I still don't know. I don't think they do either. I'm sure they'll be calling us racists soon as that is what they are left with to defend "their guy" who is destroying the country one step at a time.

I don't think anyone, including the OP has clicked on the link. It was a toy company that sent the plane, not the Iranian government. Since when are the actions of a toy company international affairs? To make an issue over this is really pathetic and petty if you ask me.
