So now these blustering fools claim to have the capability to shoot down satellites?

Sure, they only to shout up "Hey, you 72 virgins, kick down that satellite with your babouches (slippers)!"

LOL

Russians exporting fine designs like Chernobyl now ? Daylam is about 150km from Bushehr, where a controversial nuclear plant is being built with Russian help.

Not Uncle Sam for sure, we wouldn't miss by 150km :)

If we go after Iran and Syria we can expect more decent from liberals in America. Liberals don't like their socialist comrades dis-empowered

Decent = Disent?

If it had been us, there would have been multiple blasts and something of value would havebeen destroyed.

There are approximately 4 million Kurds in Iran. They are the third most important ethnic group in the country after the Persians and Azarbaijanis and account for about 9 percent of the total population. They are concentrated in the Zagros Mountain area along the western frontiers with Turkey and Iraq and adjacent to the Kurdish populations of both those countries

A muslim from the U.N. says that Iran has no weapons capability, and we are supposed to believe him?

Maybe a warning shot. There seems to be confusion amongst terrorists when they are struck by their own approach of deniable involvement. Whoever is behind this, perhaps a work of God, should score an additional point for making mullahs give the bizarrest of stories only second to their 10m martyrs.

I guess the threshold is 3,000,001.

Never argue with a fighter pilot. He WILL shoot you down. ;^)

I was hoping he was one of those Iranian F14 pilots.

I've heard they have got some trouble with maintenance and all :-)

Cheers.
