As nuclear watchdog sets date for inspections compliance, Teheran unveils its Shooting Stars arsenal

TEHERAN - Iran has made a public display of its mid-range Shooting Star missile for the first time, at a parade marking the 23rd anniversary of its war with Iraq.

Monday's show of force came as international pressure on Iran increased and the International Atomic Energy Agency set a deadline of Oct 31 for Teheran to allow full inspections of the country's nuclear sites.

Sand-coloured Shahab 3, or Shooting Star, missiles were paraded atop their mobile launchers and followed by Iranian-made tanks.

1. The Iranians are really working hard to mock the misadministration.

2. They know damned well that we're overextended to the point

of needing a massive draft if anything else occurs.

3. The bush regime has not bestowed the privilege of self defense on Iran

Iran like all other nations, is the property of the United States, and exists by its grace and favor.

These actions by Iran are indicative of a willingness, even an intent to resist US and/or Israeli military/resource seizure/depopulation operations and as such constitute the gravest kind of terrorism.

Iran must be immediately invaded, occupied, and all natural, archeological and monetary assets seized and distributed to Halliburton and Brown and Root.

The people of Iran must be immediately deprived of food, water, electrical power and medical care, to send a strong message that anti-American sentiment will not be tolerated.

If the US finds itself temporarily short of disposable soldiers, the Israeli Defense Force has extensive experience in the starvation, torture and slaughter of civilians that will be a most valuable asset to the bush regime at this time of need.

4. It seems...

... that BushCo has changed the US motto from "E pluribus unum" to "It's my way or the highway, buster!" :(
