Default Iran Fires Space Rocket

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/...ket/index.html

Ok...some people are claiming it's to hide their ballistic missiles. Well...rocket into space, ballistic missile...what's the difference? I know that the pioneers of our rocket program used ballistic missiles for space.

I think the USAF should be scanning its spy sattelite images for the giant bottle from which the Iranians are going launch their rocket from. :hmm:

And just by chance, the satelite will be powered by a mixture of enriched plutonium and explosives. It's not their fault that the satelite accidentally went off course and hit Washington.

You know, if they are actually stupid enough to do it, the Iranians *might* get one nuke onto US soil. But by the time the US gets done with a counter-strike, Iran would look like an ash tray...

We already have slavery. I'm a California taxpayer. I pay huge State income taxes, and property taxes that are outrageous. You should see how much of this goes to entitlement spending, to pay for things that people should be doing to take care of themselves.

I particularly like the comment at the end. This could be a cover up to its ballistic missile program! Well duh, I could have told you that without even doing research.
