The secret site where Iran is suspected of developing long-range ballistic missiles capable of reaching targets in Europe has been uncovered by new satellite photographs.

The imagery has pinpointed the facility from where the Iranians launched their Kavoshgar 1 “research rocket” on February 4, claiming that it was in connection with their space programme.

Analysis of the photographs taken by the Digital Globe QuickBird satellite four days after the launch has revealed a number of intriguing features that indicate to experts that it is the same site where Iran is focusing its efforts on developing a ballistic missile with a range of about 6,000km (4,000 miles).

Touchy things these rockets. Why one little mistake and they can blow up. A few mistakes and a whole base can go leaving no survivors. The old Soviet Union had this happen a few times. Maybe a few SAS lads could help it along.

Don’t worry, as far as I can tell the mideast is always mentioned in the Bible, the US on the other hand, is not.

Didn’t we liberate Iraq based on intel from spy photos?

News you will see tomorrow morning:

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Friday condemned as “offensively anti-Islamic” the satellite photos that proves Iran is developing ballistic missiles with a range that can hit Europe.

Iranian space program? What a joke. Reminds me of Mel Brooks’ “History of the World” with his “Jews in Space” sketch.

[McCoMo]

Iran is so intent on having a nuclear bomb, we should save them the trouble and just give them a couple.

“I guess it is not a secret anymore.”

Nor is the means by which the imagery was collected.

These reporters are so F’n Stupid. May as well just tell the Iranians when we’ll be overhead to take pics.

Sheesh

B. Hussein wants to “negotiate” with Mahamood Ahmamurderijad, and Queen Hillary wants to pull “out” of Iraq and engage in “dialogue” with those who would oppress us. Meanwhile, as the gas spinners spin, the Iranian Regime is getting prepared to end the world as we know it.
This is ludicrous.

but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."

Sure you can. Happens all the time.

But it would be more accurate to say this: You can fool all the people who make critical decisions for a nation -- all of the time -- if they want to be fooled.

He doesn't need to be any of those Islamonutzis.

He found enough hatred right here at home in “Christian” “Liberation theology,” which is no more than identity-based (racial) Marxism/communism.

Communism has been using whatever groups it can influence to spread their totalitarian BS. Feminism, minority racism, class envy are only some of its many hideous faces.

Wright is little more than an Imam in a church of hate.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

The good thing about Obama and the Wrigth mess is that black racism is finally out of the closet. Even I had grown comfortable with the thought that even if there are major differences between us, at least we are all Christians and there is some unity in that. But that sad little dream has been blown out of the water. The Wright-type Christians would join with the Islamonazis in an instant to destroy America.

Most of us have known for a long time that many of the black community hate our guts, hate America, and want to destroy America and most Americans. Now it's out in the open. Now every time I see a black dressed up for Sunday service, I will have to wonder what brand of preaching they'll be listening to and agreeing with and enjoying: Bible-based or race-based hatred seeking a communist overthrow of America.

I’m sure it’s just large vats of pesticide. Very large vats.

I can’t recall. Is barack Hussein Obama a Shiite, a Suni or a Wahabbi?
