Iran is going to attack us from space, bleats Fox News
Fox News, in its current battle to help the State and make Iran look like a nation full of Super-Hitlers, screams this from the top of their Web site:
Report: Iran Close to Trying Space Launch
Sounds terrifying, eh? Soon, those maniacal Islamanazis will be raining ICBMs on the heads of all patriotic Americans.
From Aviation Week:
Iran has converted its most powerful ballistic missile into a satellite launch vehicle. The 30-ton rocket could also be a wolf in sheep’s clothing for testing longer-range missile strike technologies, Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine reports in its Jan. 29 issue.
The Iranian space launcher has recently been assembled and “will liftoff soon” with an Iranian satellite, according to Alaoddin Boroujerdi, the chairman of the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission.
The move toward an independent space launch capacity is likely to ratchet up concern in the U.S. and Europe about Iran’s strategic capabilities and intents. Orbiting its own satellite would send a powerful message throughout the Muslim world about the Shiite regime in Tehran.
The U.S took over Iraq on less. Expect to continue to see more “evidence” to be delivered by the Bush Administration’s propaganda arm in the coming months.
A note to the people of Iran: Guys, the vast majority of Americans don’t want to go to war with you. But as you well know, the will of the people is rarely considered relevant. So while it’s obvious that you don’t care much for your President either, the U.S. and Israel will be bombing you by April. It’s all they talk about. It’s War on Terror stuff, you understand. Get used to dead civilians.
