Iran Mocks Obama After He Asks For Downed Drone Back, Says He ‘Begs To Give Him Back His Toy Plane’

In the wake of the latest downed U.S. drone, Iran is gleefully mocking Barack Obama, chiding that the president “begs to give him back his toy plane.”
“Obama is hoping that the Iranian government is in a Christmas mood because he has asked Tehran to send him his Christmas present. Iran mocks Obama who ‘begged’ for [his] Drone back,” goaded Fars News Agency on Tuesday.
“We have asked for it back. We’ll see how the Iranians respond,” Obama said following a White House meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Israel National News adds:
Iran said last week it downed an advanced RQ-70 drone. The Obama administration initially denied the report, but later admitted it had lost a drone.
“Given Iran’s behavior to date, we do not expect them to comply,” U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said. President Obama reportedly turned down proposals to try to bomb the drone or retrieve it, fearing such an act would be considered an “act of war.”
“This is not only an intelligence victory for us, but a defeat for our enemies,” said a senior commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps.
The RQ-170 has special coatings and a batwing shape designed to help it stay undetected by radar.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast lambasted Obama, saying that ”it seems that he has forgotten that Iran’s air space has been violated, espionage operations have been carried out, international laws have been violated and Iran’s internal affairs have been interfered with.”
Iran boasted that the U.S. has lost 90 drones since 2007.
“The Drone Crash Database of the global research says thirteen drone crashes have taken place over the past ten months, including the stealth drone in Iran,” Fars reported.

I’d be real keen to note this advice Iran…you know what, forget that!

I agree with the person who‘s wondering why those drones don’t have a self-destruct feature. If BHO had the opportunity to destroy that drone and didn’t = add one more coward chip to his spineless self.
What a useless, poor excuse for a potus! Can’t call the guy “Commander In Chief.” He hasn’t earned it!

I’m not laughing – this is a smoke screen – our military can pick a fly off Amediajahed ass from 1000 miles away and we can’t destroy this drone. Obama will get the drone back after the the Russians and Chinese are finish inspecting it. Laugh all you want – Obama wins – America loses.

Posted on December 14, 2011 at 1:17amThis may actually work out in our favor. For all we know, the drone may still be secretly active and transmitting data back to US intelligence. It may be rigged to self-destruct after a pre-determined amount of time. It might contain some rare radioactive isotope that we can trace to wherever it is being held. We may simply use this as an excuse to invade Iran to retrieve our property.
In any case what I see happening is a PRELUDE TO WAR…Iran, China, and Russia are gearing up for an all-out assault on United States interests in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. They plan to attack us financially and economically before attempting to conquer the region militarily.

Posted on December 14, 2011 at 1:56amThis reminds me of an accounting from the reign of King Hezekiah:
Hezekiah received the envoys and showed them all that was in his storehouses—the silver, the gold, the spices and the fine olive oil—his armory and everything found among his treasures. There was nothing in his palace or in all his kingdom that Hezekiah did not show them. Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah and asked, “What did those men say, and where did they come from?”
“From a distant land,” Hezekiah replied. “They came from Babylon.”
The prophet asked, “What did they see in your palace?”
“They saw everything in my palace,” Hezekiah said. “There is nothing among my treasures that I did not show them.”
Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD: The time will surely come when everything in your palace, and all that your predecessors have stored up until this day, will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the LORD.

Now, why would they initially deny the report if, as i am sure, they must have had some evidence that it might be true?
Silly question, because lying is Obama’s typical, knee-jerk reaction to things. Not really so silly, however, because the deeper answer is that he is far to comfortable with misleading us.
