The Iran Charade So They Lied Again

Ozarks, if the war was lost, then is it really likely that hundreds of thousands of Americans were in danger?

Iran test-fired a new ballistic missile last week, on the day the U.S. held a summit on Mideast peace at Annapolis, Md.

The missile has a range of 2,000 kilometers, and is capable of reaching Israel, U.S. Army bases in the Middle East and eastern European cities, including Moscow, said reports.

The new missile is an improvement on the existing Shahab-3 missile, said reports.

Called the Ashoura, it uses solid fuel instead of the Shihab's liquid fuel, which gives the missile a faster launch sequence, making it harder to detect.

Political experts said the timing of the launch was significant, given Iran's opposition to it.

Iran tested a newly-developed ballistic missile on the day of the Annapolis conference, Channel 10 reported Wednesday.

Iranian Defense Minister Gen. Mostafa Muhammad-Najjar had announced the development of the new missile on the day of the summit, but had not specified whether it had actually been tested.

It'll probably be out in the larger news agencies tomarrow. I actually heard about this on FOX this morning.

Have a good one!:s4:

I see. Thanks for posting this, I can't wait to see the mainstream media spin on it... should be very interesting.

My opinion on this, however, is that Iran is preparing for an invasion by the US. They probably have been for awhile.

Excellent point. Basically America is saying "Stop defending yourself or we'll attack you!"

Those were the casualty estimates of invasion of Japan. which would have necessary if Japan hadn't surrendered.

Defending themselves from who ? they are the ones threating to attack someone.

Defending themselves from us (the US). I really don't know who they threatened, or when they threatened anyone with nuclear missiles. In fact, that would make absolutely no sense, considering they have denied having them many times over.

I think what you're refering to is Ahmadinejahd saying something about Israel being wiped off the face of the planet (which him saying that can be debated). However, the only place I've seen this is from places like FOX News and CNN. Also, if he did actually say such a thing (again, it is not necessarily true that he said such a thing, or even in that context--the media loves to take quotes out of context to manipulate you into thinking certain things), you might be right about him implying such a thing, but as we both know, you could not prove that; because, like I said, quotes like that are usually taken out of context to manipulate you. And neither could you prove that they actually are making nukes (unless you want to hand over to us the real CIA intelligence report that you have). As for Israel, maybe you've watched/read too much FOX News and have become sympathetic towards Israel. The truth is, Israel is tyrannical towards other nations... as is the US.

Who have they threatened? America is the one threatening THEM.

Why would Iran want to attack America? What chance would they have of winning? Are you trying to say that Iran basically wants to kill itself?

Hehe, you got that quote wrong, bro. I said that . But I didn't mean that Iran is preparing to attack the US. Re-read it, I said that Iran is probably preparing to be invaded BY the US. :thumbsup:

Haha my bad bro! Sorry I did the multiquote thing and somehow the QUOTE=blahblah wasn't there so I just assumed Ozarks said it since he's pretty much arguing against everybody haha. Sweet, I'm with you on this one haha:jointsmile:
