Iran to return downed U.S. drone to Obama: a miniature, pink plastic replica

Taunting the weak. "U.S. drone that crashed in Iran goes miniature," by Thomas Erdbrink for the Washington Post, January 17 (thanks to Benedict):

TEHRAN — For the American government, the crash of the RQ-170 drone in Iran was an embarrassment. For the Iranian government, it was a propaganda victory.

And for at least one company, according to state radio, it could be a windfall.

An Iranian firm, seeking to capitalize on the frenzy that followed the crash of the drone — and American calls to have it returned — is now producing miniaturized toy versions of the craft. Most of the toys, which come in several colors and are made of Iranian plastic, have already been snapped up by Iranian government organizations, according to the group that manufactures them.

At least one model — a pink one — has been reserved for President Obama.

He said he wanted it back, and we will send him one,” said Reza Kioumarsi, the head of cultural production at the Ayeh Art group....

from what O understand the Iranians do have the technology to decipher the inner working of this drone. it looks like the chinese are going to decipher it for free in exchange the chinese will retain that technology and also give that technology back to the Iranians.
M

I meant to say the do not have the technology. sorry.
m

I hope the Iranians know that this means war...No one sends Rasool Obama a pink miniature drone and gets away with it...
Ron Paul did that, and look what happened to him...

As if Iranians could manufacture a plastic model!

Muslims are always arrogant like that. They also have a WICKED sense of humor.

The appropriate response would be to send Reza
Kioumarsi a little pink plastic replica of that
Iranian nuclear scientist who had some trouble with his car recently...

.....who had trouble with his car recently....

Classic! lmao!

Ima

Pink plastic model?

Does it take batteries and vibrate too?

Maybe obama can let michelle play with in the tub for a while then send the un-washed unit back to iran.

I strongly suspect that if America had a Truman or Eisenhower in the White House, rather than the person who now lives there, there would be greater hesitation by Muzzies before jesting and ridicule ensued. To the thugs of the world the POTUS should be an SOB and feared. Unfortunately, the present POTUS is an SOB to many Americans and such Americans fear what he's doing to America. The upside-down world marches on.


I don't doubt for a moment that this drone had fail-safe booby -trap mechanisms in place in case anyone wanted to "decipher" the technology.

It's not as big a loss as Iran would have us think . . .

I hate to tell you Trueman fire General Mac Arther for openly his mounth about useing nuclear weapon on Chine in the Korean war when the Soviet Union was neutial send him than telegramar saying it America drop one nuclear bomb on China they will enter the war with they nuclear weapons. The Koran war than war that america was loseing due to attrible lost. Ike kissed Mao ass to end the war.Ike want no war with the Soviet Union.

So many Iranian government actions give the impression they are really trying to provoke a war. If so, I wonder if that's because they think the Hidden Imam will return according to the prophecy that chaos will bring him back?

Hey, Dumb*ss, er DoI,]

General Douglas MacArthur was "relieved" of command, not fired. Big difference.

And Eisenhower was certainly no "ass-kisser". You really, really need to learn history outside of what your local witch doctor teaches you every Friday.

"His jest will savor but of shallow wit, when thousands weep more than did laugh at it"

Shakespeare's Henry V said the above line when the French prince (the Dauphin) sent a mocking gift of tennis balls:

…And tell the pleasant prince this mock of his

Hath turn’d his balls to gun-stones; and his soul

Shall stand sore charged for the wasteful vengeance

That shall fly with them: for many a thousand widows

Shall this his mock mock out of their dear husbands;

Mock mothers from their sons, mock castles down;

And some are yet ungotten and unborn

That shall have cause to curse the Dauphin’s scorn.
(...)
So get you hence in peace; and tell the Dauphin

His jest will savour but of shallow wit,

When thousands weep more than did laugh at it.

-- Henry V

Here's an excellent 4 minute video of the scene including the above lines. Tennis Balls

Smredneck5, is that a hadith? Do you happen to know which hadith it is?

OT, but here's an interesting tribute to this site:

www.tradett.com/Jihad-Watch-products

Apparently, some Chinese product pirate thinks this is a classy brand-name timepiece!

Defender of Islam, if Eisenhower kissed China's @$$ in the Korean War, answer this question for me:

南汉为什么还存在呢?

你为什么赞美一个强迫穆斯林人样黑虫子的政权呢, 并且,剪掉满拉的胡子?

Translation: Why does South Korea still exist?

Why do you praise a regime that forced Muslims to raise pigs, and also cut off mullahs' beards?

Oops!

南韩--非南汉也!

Well, now we know how the mullah-ocracy repays Obama's attempt at outreach. And we also know that Iran despises Chinese Muslims about as much as Defender of Islam does.

You would be my selection for the most tedious and most ignorant person who has ever posted here at JW. Reasonable minds could differ respecting who would be most worthy of this infamous designation, but I wanted you and all to know that your my choice on this one.

I lover to tell yuo, American won than Koran War! Have yuo scene than sallatitie foto of Kora at nite? Suoth Kora all lightened up like XAMS tree. Norht Kora all drak like than semeteree!

Are yuo aslo defnedr of connumisim??

It's not in any of the Kutub al-Sittah but Hafidh Ibn Kathir cites it in his unabridged Arabic Tafsir so it's generally considered reliable.

"أنا الضَّحوك القَتَّال"

"I laugh when I kill."

You can find the text in the link to the Tafsir above.

Thank you Smredneck5.

Do you happen to know if it is in this English version of Ibn Kathir:

http://www.qtafsir.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3138

Spencer and Goldman are going to have a great debate in about 15 minutes from now (the debate starts Tuesday night at 11 pm eastern standard time), here:

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/radio-jihad/2012/01/18/the-jamie-glazov-show

It's not there, it would be after the verse 9:73 which is quoted.

The Tafsir they use is the English translated Saudi translation which is ABRIDGED and not unabridged.

I think the American should respond by sending them a couple of action men figures dressed as nuclear scientists.

Not according to khomeni's little green book. He says there is no humour in islam.

the exact meaning of the two arabic words is...

'' I am the laughing killer ''

LET'S RETALIATE FOR THIS HUMILIATION!!!

Iran bans the harmless little lovely Barbie doll as a symbol of American cultural decadence while manufacturing toy replicas of the downed US drone which violently smoked thousands of jihadis over the years. I have a splendid idea. Let's retaliate for this humiliation by making toy replicas of Ahmadinejad and Khamenie having illicit, unKoranic sex with Barbie.

If I were in a royal position to hand out awards for wit, wisdom and sheer class. .the proprietors and commenters of JWatch would scoop the table.

Gross.
**please desist**

Rasool Obama should retaliate by sending Ahmadinijad a video of Richard Nixon's Checkers speech...

I would give you my real name and address to send my award to but a dozen beardies might turn up for all I know, so I'll have to pass on that one:-(

DoofusofIslam, George beat me to it and with style, but do try to learn something of our language so you won't be referring to the Korean conflict as the "Koran War". That could get you an unintended fatwa.

There's a nice quote from Shakespeare a few comments down from you. Might be a good place to start.

Stephen, you're a Greybeard, mate. Santa don't need to use traceable co-ordinates. . .an' I wouldn't have the temerity to pertain to be His^goodself, an' even worse, I fall far, far short of being royalty.

You gave me a very impure thought about what your propsed plastic figurines might be doing--and without the Barbie! That is, a practice that is very, very common in Muslim-majority countries.

Hey, Iran punks Obama and Hillary again.

Send them another 'drone'...a fake one, heavily booby-trapped.

It end in than shalemake there is no peace and there is no war fighting was only end tempority under than tempority truce which took effect in 1953 to this day. Legality than state of war still exsit. So america didnot win the war.

He was fired for disrespect toward the prezsident. His plane and the US 1 were flying to Hawieve both ready to land the general plane refuse to land first so he can greet the president as US1 landed.

The Korean war was very unpoplurate in america than Ike promise to end it an bring the boys back home so Ike was willing to kiss Mao ass to end the fighting.

Mao also want to end the war too an was willing to have South Korea exsit as than nation-state.

Please … tell what you want, to write, to all these ** English speaking people here in JW **, to someone else … means [ other then you ] who knows * some English* , and then let him or her, post it.

really !!!?? …

You really sound like a 5 years old!!

I did not understand anything you have written.

You sound, so bad, you are making, Muslims, look, worse then usual and I thought that was impossible.

Muslims, always sound stupid when they drop here, not necessarily, because they are stupid, but because their English, sounds stupid …

take this advise

It was a very lewd comment aimed at very crude people.

Wrong, mohammad breath! Kim il-Sung surprise-attacked South Korea with Soviet advisers and Soviet T-34 tanks. After Inchon they were running North like rabbits! Then the Chicoms came in & we ultimatley pushed them back up over the 38th Parallel, too. South Korea is a thriving democracy today. North Korea is a totalitarian crap-hole, toally devoid of virtue, not unlike the many muslim crap-holes you'd like to see repeated here. Sorry, but to your revisionist, anti-American history: NO SALE!

Really, defender, if you hate America so much what's keeping you here? Why not get the hell out, already? Well?

朋友,去新疆,云南, 青海,甘肃,与类似的地方,问你的穆斯林兄弟姐妹老毛是否仁慈的菩萨。

George, Defender of Islam once charged that a female MD in a prestigious hospital in NYC refused to treat him because he was Muslim. This alone tells me that Defender of Islam has probably never once set foot in the USA, and gets virtually all his information about our country from various radical Islamicist and rankled Communist sources. He'd probably be shocked out of his drawers if he learned that people of South Asian heritage have been elected Republican governors of Louisiana and South Carolina by populations he's been taught to view as irredeemably "Redneck" and "racist". I strongly suspect he may be a Pakistani "visa shopper" I turned down when I was US vice consul in Bangkok a couple dozen years ago--all praise for the USA until I followed a string of my fellow American vice consuls from Islamabad to Manila and back and denied him on the ground of 214(b)--no clear ties to a residence outside the USA and no clear qualification for any non-immigrant status. After that, he literally foamed at the mouth about how evil the USA was, often drifting off into Urdu due to limited English.

Limited English alone wouldn't make me think DoI is a stranger to America. For example, we've got one poster here who often apologizes for his mistakes in English (although it's 1500 times better than DoI's), but I meet my students' parents who have even worse English all the time. Further, the JW poster I mentioned above also comes off like many other immigrant parents I've known in his pride in his son's service in our military. Hence, his minor grammatical errors don't allow me to doubt that he's really somewhere in the USA, and probably the [justifiably] proud owner of a naturalization certificate.

DoI, however, seems to view the USA through a prism comprised of Communist and Islamicist propaganda leavened with what may well be sour grapes.

Hi Kepha,

With those Foreign Service postings you have an enviable wealth of experience with lots of folks & their cultures. I'll bet you have some interesting stories to tell!

All I have is a long and typically pretty accurate memory. From DOI's posts over the last couple of years, I have the decided impression that he's right here in the USA.
He's made reference to military service in Alaska. He's spoken about his "rights" under our constitution. He's mentioned FBI agents visiting his mosque. I could think of more, but you get the idea. Also, I've noticed from posts a while back that he seems to know a lot about firearms.

While I've never taken him directly to task on his language deficits, I do engage in some parody, as earlier in this thread. If you recall poster Eleanor, we used to go back & forth in "DOI Language" and it got pretty funny(I miss her, BTW). This little fun probably qualifies as petty cruelty, but by any standard he's not a great spokesman for his faith. Or is it that he's perfect, after all?

I always enjoy your posts, they're rich with historical knowledge & perspective.
