TEHRAN, Iran - Iran tested more missiles in the Persian Gulf, state media reported Thursday, a day after the country drew Western criticism for test-firing nine rockets.

More Photoshop???
I heard that on the news this morning. I heard they got a “strong condemnation” from Condi. That’ll stop em!
Time to take Ahmamurdereijad out.
Shouldn’t we be test firing our anti-missile defense system in that neighborhood?
Or even suggest stronger sanctions. That will work because we all know how effective Sanctions can be. Dictators care about their people and do not want to see this happen.
Iran and OPEC have declared War on our economy, and by firing off some Missiles it keeps the price of Crude Oil up, and our economy slows the growth. Brilliant tactic by Iran.
If he was the only problem, it might be a good solution. The “Mad Mullahs” control the Revolutionary Guard, however, and they are a political and military force unto themselves. Ahmedinutjob has little political power without their approval and direction.
Can radioactive oil deposits be exploited, I wonder?
Maybe its Iran just showing a somewhat belated, and elongated 7/4 Independence day celebration, in our honor
Heck, I gotta believe it would make it a more superior grade.
Just for fun let’s put a Star Wars intercept in the Persian Gulf and have a test run on the Iranian missiles.
And not say we did it....
(Is that what happened with the N Korean missile tests???)
The sad thing is that we have no one but ourselves to blame. Instead of pushing back at OPEC by showing our willingness to develop our oil resources, we plan to build windmills and drive hybrids. If this Country would step up to the plate and allow the entrepreneurs who made this country great develop our reserves while simultaneously developing alternative energy and technology, oil prices would drop accordingly.
I hope they run out of missiles playing their saber rattling game.
Fox and Friends showed some video that purported to show the launches. It was impossible to gauge the size of the missiles. The exhaust plumes were irregular with erratic sparks flying, not uniform tongues of fire one usually sees with a shuttle or ICBM launch. I’ve witnessed night Minuteman launches about as up-close and personal as it is safe to be.(1500M)
These missiles looked crude to my eyes.
We should have some of our new jets take a quick and sudden flight over Tehran, specifically where their Mullahs, Ayatollahs, and “President” live.
That would be nice, but the F-22 is not being deployed to Iraq. Apparently Gates does not want to send the “wrong” signal to Iran.
How many of these “test” firings until one of these missles accidentally hits a U.S. warship, ala USS Vincennes? The Navy theatre commanders and the Pentagon brass had better be on their toes.
We can protect ourselves!
