Looks like a moon-shine still to me, not a rocket engine.

But it works.

I had no idea they'd launched Ahmadinejad. Hopefully they aren't planning on returning the capsule to Earth.

Ahmed-Ninja is the ultimate survivor. He will not let himself be launched into orbit if he can help it.

Tenacious chap of the ground hugging kind.

You are already viewing DR and it's yellow pages, so a little more yellow won't hurt.

And yes, I'm into blondes. That pic had zero effect on me.

If they wanted to send a rodent into orbit they could've asked for Afridi who proved he is part-rodent.

The first Iranian in orbit paid for it herself.

She invented VOIP, in case you talk on your computer.

LOL. That grandiose talk would be more impressive if they weren't talking about a launch that puts them 60 years or so behind the cutting edge.

What I want to know is: Why did the turtles and the worms not make it into the headline?

Do you know why the Israelis haven't just blown up the Iranian facilities already like they did to Iraq?

Do you know anything?

Be Well.

If Bush or Cheney was in power - a cruise missle would have taken out the platform and they would not have been able to have a successful test.

This is what happens when you have a weak..."I'll just talk to them" wimp.

Yep, shoot first, ask questions never. What could possibly go wrong?

Oh wait, a 3rd never ending war that costs hundreds of billions of dollars the US doesn't have. Good plan!

My original headline was "Iranian Rat in orbit".

RCADE changed it for the front page to something a bit more respectable.

Muslims try to reach Allah with life forms that Allah will recognize as other Muslims

All animals are Muslims, technically. Even Vermin like yourself.

What were you doing in Islamabad, btw?

Vermin spotted near Isloo!

Because Iran doesn't care about the Palestinians, as proven by their actions, any more than the Israelis do and Iranian leaders just use the issue as a means to focus their peoples' anger elsewhere. Israel, at the same time, uses Iran's constant threats for their own political purposes.

Its a mutually beneficial arrangement based on both parties being full of shit..

Sounds like something the Halfenor would say. Hopefully, even Muffy & Kranc can see the danger of putting religious nuts in office.

They may still have a chance of doing business with Iran, like they did when they were helping Reagan commit treason? Or maybe they want to get that oil line from Iraq that Republican Idol Chalabi promised them and they need to keep Iran's friends in kurdistan happy.

Not Cheney, he loves doing business with the mad ayatollahs. And given Bush's military deciderfication, he would have targetted the Eiffel Tower. And wouldn't his subsequent surrendering to France have bee soooo embarrassing?

Sheeple...you are correct.

As to the 'never ending war" comment. This wasn't and invasion and the "required" nation rebuilding.

This was - put a cruise missle into a launch pad - similar to when Clinton put one up a camels ass and said he JUST MISSED Osama. (as he cleaned the seman from his pants)

So - Yes it was a good plan - yes it would show the Iranians we still have fangs - and yes it would put thier testing behing...and yes it may have empowered an uprising of thier population to know that the US was behind them - instead of pampering their 3rd tier country establishment.

And YES - we should have done the same thing to the launches by Korea.

I'm sure they will find another rat to replace the one they launched.
