Aaaaah, that subtle Zionist bias of the AmeriKan MSM!
"Iran’s Revolutionary Guard tests missiles to show force; Defies pressure over secret nuclear facility" by Nasser Karimi, Associated Press | September 28, 2009
Of course, when ISRAEL DOES the SAME THING over WAR CRIMES in GAZA, no defiance!
TEHRAN - Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard said it successfully test-fired an unspecified number of missiles yesterday in drills -- scheduled to last several days -- meant to show that Tehran is prepared to crush any military threat from another country.
The display of force occurred days after the United States and its allies warned Iran....
General Hossein Salami, head of the Revolutionary Guard Air Force, said Iran had perfected its short-range missiles to make them more accurate in tactical battlefield situations and defend the country from any attacks. “We are going to respond to any military action in a crushing manner, and it doesn’t make any difference which country or regime has launched the aggression,’’ state media quoted Salami as saying....
The missiles tested weren’t the kind that can carry a nuclear warhead.... But the timing of the missile tests has been widely interpreted as an Iranian show of force in the face of the international storm of criticism over the secret facility....
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said she doesn’t believe Iran can convince the United States and other world powers at the upcoming meeting that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes....
Yeah, THANKS for PREJUDGING the thing and CLOSING YOUR MIND, you mass-murdering witch! Of course, this is the "lady" who wants to obliterate Iranians.
The Iranians must “present convincing evidence as to the purpose of their nuclear program. We don’t believe that they can present convincing evidence, that it’s only for peaceful purposes, but we are going to put them to the test,’’ Clinton told CBS’s “Face the Nation.’’
How do you PROVE a NEGATIVE? I know! Ask Saddam Husse.... never mind.
Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said pressuring Iran economically and diplomatically would have a better chance of changing Tehran’s policies than military strikes against the nuclear site.
“The reality is, there is no military option that does anything more than buy time,’’ he told CNN’s “State of the Union’’ in an interview broadcast yesterday.
Israel doesn't care, Bob.
The nuclear site revealed in the arid mountains near the holy city of Qom is believed to be inside a heavily guarded, underground facility belonging to the Revolutionary Guard, according to a document sent by President Obama’s administration to lawmakers. After the strong condemnations, Iran said Saturday that it will allow UN nuclear inspectors to examine the site.
That is SUCH a LIE!!! WtFU is right!
Israel has trumpeted the latest discoveries as proof of its long-held assertion that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons.
No surprise there.
“The revelation of the secret Iranian facility also demonstrates to even the most skeptical people the evil intentions of Iran,’’ Danny Ayalon, Israel’s deputy foreign minister, said in an interview with Israel’s Channel 10 yesterday.
So what would we call your deception at Dimona, NaZionist?
Why must Israelis always PROJECT THEIR BEHAVIORS on to SOMEONE ELSE and ACCUSE? No wonder the world hates 'em.
By US estimates, Iran is one to five years away from having nuclear weapons capability, although US intelligence also believes that Iranian leaders have not made the decision to build a weapon.
Actually, THEY HAVE MADE a DECISION: They ain't making one!

And EVEN if they WERE, who could blame them after watching USrael throw its weight around the last eight years. It is NO COINCIDENCE Iraq is on one side of Iran and Afghanistan the other. The WHOLE THING has been PLANNED!
WASHINGTON - Iran reported yesterday that it successfully test-fired its most advanced and powerful medium-range missiles as part of war games it said were intended to deter the country’s enemies.
I stand corrected; the WaPo called them war games.
The missiles are believed to have a range of 800-1,200 miles, making them capable of striking Israel, US military targets in the Middle East, and parts of southeastern Europe. But Brigadier General Hossein Salami, commander of the Revolutionary Guard Air Force, said the test-firings were part of exercises to practice “preventive and defensive operations.’’
They are “in no way a threat to neighboring countries,’’ Iranian news media quoted Salami as saying. Rather, the tests send “a message for certain greedy nations that seek to create fear....’’
Oh, and WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE, don't we, USrael!!!
Specifically, the Iranian defense minister, Ahmad Vahidi, warned Israel against carrying out threats to attack Iran’s nuclear sites.
Can't get ANY MORE DIRECT than that!
“If this happens, which, of course, we do not foresee, its ultimate result would be that it expedites the Zionist regime’s last breath,’’ Vahidi said on state television. He added that Israel was on a “slope of destruction.’’
I wonder if he voted in my poll! Half of you say no attack -- ever!
And HE IS NOT SAYING THAT to make me FEEL GOOD, is he?
In Tehran, opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi spoke out against any sanctions, saying they would force ordinary people to pay the price of the “wrong and adventurist foreign policies of the government.’’
Oh, EVEN the US ASSET doesn't want sanctions, huh? And HE'S RIGHT!
