#1 Heehee. Wrong company - again. First it was Lockheed. Hey Jihad Boy, try Hasbro.

#2 Actually it is the right company. Nothing specific, more like "here's a hit list, youse can do what's you wants with it". Sort of like the NYT revealing names and addresses at certain... convenient times.

The Lockheed Martin attempt came out during the David Coleman Headley trial.

#3 Aerovironment makes small, hand launched recon drones. Their large stuff, like Helios, have been abortions. I think we all know which company makes the drones that are wasting Al Qaeda in their hide outs.

#4 I know Aerovironment makes hand held drones. The hand held drones are helping to take out AQI, Al Qaeda in Yemen and Somalia, and the Talibs.

They're still on the 'hit-list', no matter how much the armchair-analysts here snicker about it.

#5 Yokay, I'll bite, I'm confused - is AL QAEDA = RADICAL ISLAM trying to destroy the Company wid thingys that go boom; or buy the Company = Drone Techs via any Proxies, as per for TerrorOps???

AFAIK nothing in War, Maha-Rushian "Histoire'" or even Islam, etc. says the Burqua Boyz have to hate NEW = MICRO/NANO-TECHNOLOGIES.

#6 I will snicker as much as I want to. The fact is Al Qaeda in the form of Bacha Bazi Spokesmodel Adam ~~Pearlman~~ Gadahn is calling for individual jihad in America (correctly) singled out "armed American drones" as a great threat
.
My dear brothers in Islam: with America and 25 of its NATO allies beginning to deploy a further 37,000 occupation troops to Afghanistan, and with armed American drones now violating Islamic airspace and terrorizing Muslim populaces from Miran Shah to Mogadishu, and with the American war president and his rabid British poodle plotting fresh aggression against the Yemen, and with the United States consolidating its cruel treatment of our brothers in Islam at new or newly expanded Muslim-only concentration camps in Illinois, Bagram and elsewhere, it is rapidly becoming clear that this already hot global battle is about to get even hotter.

That Lockheed was misidentified as the drone source is FAIL 1.
"There was a plan to kill him because he was making drones," Headley testified during the Chicago trial of his childhood friend, Tahawwur Hussain Rana.

Later Aerovironment is singled out. They don't make armed drones. Certainly not the ones killing hundreds of Al Qaeda jihadis. Fail 2.

Your attempt to be the arbiter of the correct and true - Fail 3.
