Iran To Launch First Domestic Satellite Soon - Ahmadinejad
IRNA ^ | August 16, 2008

Posted on 08/16/2008 6:25:31 AM PDT by Strategy

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad added in his press interview in Istanbul Friday that Iran would in near future launch its first domestic satellite to the space.

According to IRNA, President Ahmadinejad said addressing the audience, "I want to inform you of a first hand news today. The Americans sanctioned us 28 years ago, but that is not the whole story."

"They also imposed a number of sets of embargoes, whose single purpose was the block the path of our progress. But thanks to all those sanctions, we are now a nuclear country, and will by grace of God very soon launch our first Iranian made satellite."

The Iranian president reiterated, "This satellite, the rocket that would launch it, and the land station from which it would be launched are entirely made in Iran, by the talented Iranian scientists and technicians."

He pointed out that the Islamic Iran is today also among the top five world countries with advanced bio-technology expertise, the top in nano-technology field, and that the Iranians have achieved all such high objectives thanks to the US, and US backed sanctions, which our nation is decided to resist against...

With whose rockets? Russia of course... or the Chicoms. Anyway I suggest the moon-worshipping Mullahs jump into their spacesuits and fly straight into the sun.

Either he doesn't know that satellites orbit planets not countries or he expects the whole world to be under Iranian control. :-)

Hear this turban boy.

Yours is a society of stagnation, you would have nothing if it were not for the progress of the west. You wouldnt even know of the oil beneath your feet without US.

Oh You guys are miles ahead of us at somethings Alibaba.

Theft, Deception and Hardness of the heart.

The west IS progress and America leads that charge.

You are a stone in the desert Baboo.

Major creep-out after reading this.

If this is true...and I regard ANYTHING coming out of Iran as highly suspect...then we may have a MAJOR problem. A Earth-orbiting satellite carrying a nuclear device would be a bad thing. If they explode the thing in orbit directly over the US, the EM pulse could give us that 'doomsday scenario' we all fear.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, do a search on 'EMP Weapons'. Imagine everyone in the US suddenly being without electical power, and without the ability to get it back. ALL electronic circuits...fried.

Letting Iran have a bomb is bad. Letting them have a means to possibly take the United States out of the picture for a long time is worse. IF they have a launch-to-orbit capability, we need to destroy it.

Sounds like it might be a nice test vehicle for one of our Star Wars shooters. Why use our targets when we can use theirs? Claim we thought it was an incoming.

Well, then (as you say, if Iran even has the capability) we should explode the thing over Iran. We have the tecnnology.

Oh...and don't miss or anything. Some of us are right next door...

I have been monitoring Tehran “The Voice of Justice” at 9495 Khz what a load of baloney! L0L Their propaganda makes Russia ,China and Cubehr sound fair and balanced L0L!

2 weeks back Iran, IRNA targeted the 40 meter HAM band here with propaganda. I was heartened when one by one Civilians here in the states kicked in linear amps to overide the Iranian signal.

No one said anything. They all just kicked up the power and within half an hour Iran gave it up.

Go USA!

Now thats just some old retired guys on old tube sets swatting a fly.
