The report says the models also will be sold on the Iranian marked for about 70,000 rials, or around $4.

It's a better "gift" than some of the ones Obama has given.

I’m beginning to think that the Iranian government doesn’t take Obama seriously.

I’m sure Baby Baraq will proudly display it on his desk in the Oval Orifice.

Iran is humiliating America and the Messiah with its sense of humor.

Maybe Iran will stick a propellor on the drone like the models we used to put together as kids.

it is uncertain whether the mullahs will allow Achphlegmdinagad to play with glue...as he has the tendency to ‘huff’ it....so they may just return the model in the box.

I’m picturing him playing with it during Cabinet meetings and making (improper propeller) airplane noises.

Drones are not the American tech masterpiece, the NRO big birds are.

Drones are often used as a cover story for data gleaned by the NRO birds...IMO only.

The mistake they may be making is thinking that Bork (Obunga) is still in charge of the US military; near as I can tell, HIllary Clinton and Leon Panetta are running our military at present.

Sure.....and we should send it on a mounting with a couple scaled down reactor domes below it. The message should translate well in Farsi.

Look for the media to claim the Obammy team has sucessfully restarted our relationship with Iran. This “gift” is a good will gesture.

*sigh*

Remember when Ronalds Reagan took office and LITERALLY 5 MINUTES LATER the Iranians released the hostages?

With Obambi in office they make jokes...

When the United States needs eyes and ears in critical places where no human can reach – be it over the most rugged terrain or through the most hostile territory – it turns to the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).
