Pro-Assad page claims Syria and Iran engineered Hurricane Sandy

Source: Washington Post

Among the many global reactions to Hurricane Sandy’s impact on the U.S. East Coast, this one might be the most amusing. Syrian Army News, a pro-regime Facebook page, announced that anti-Western “resistance” forces working under President Bashar al-Assad and under the Iranian government secretly engineered the natural disaster using “highly advanced technology.” It describes the hurricane as a punishment for threatening Assad’s Syria.

Here’s the English translation:

Sources confirm that hurricane Sandy, now buffeting the U.S., was carried out by highly advanced technology developed by the heroic Iranian regime, in coordination with our resistant regime. These sources have also confirmed that experts from Syria have contributed in carrying out this work. This is the consequence of attacking Assad’s Syria and threatening its security.

If we ever get to the level of civilization predicted by Michio Kaku to be able to control such things, we might be in for some exciting times on Planet Earth.

But come on now, Syria and Iran did it?

The GOP media must be worried. They pushed their luck in the last big budget negotiations where they put their foot in thei mouth and refused to back down from their death budget.

Countdown to January, 2013, when their SHTF.


Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of sociopaths...

And it's not an issue in the current politics, but we all know that there is very likely an anthropogenic factor in Sandy... and Irene... and the next big one.

Meanwhile: Check out our Syrian allies! Way to go!

11. Well if Karl Rove can fabricate a robot and get him elected, why can't Iran engineer a hurricane?

anything is possible these days, and nothing is as it seems. We are living it the twilight zone.

The Syrians and Iranians got hold of that damn weather machine!

I thought it was only the CIA/Mossad that had it. After all we caused their drought over the summer...That's what Ahmashouldbeinastraightjacket said.
