Iran Claims Missile Success on Mock Warships
Arutz Sheva ^ | 25/9/12 | Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

Iran, the day before Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaks at the United Nations, claimed Tuesday it successfully fired four missiles at a mock sea target representing warships.

The timing of the missile tests is part of Iran’s propaganda campaign to instill fear among Israel and American leaders, who have warned that the “military option” is on the table if Tehran does not stop its unsupervised nuclear development and enrichment of uranium that can be used to manufacture a nuclear warhead aimed at Israel.

The Ahmadinejad regime has claimed successful military tests at a dizzying rate, but several analysts have said that many of the claims are exaggerated. Earlier this year, Iran said it tested a “long-range” missile but evidence pointed to its being a shorter range weapon.

Tuesday’s announcement of the anti-warship missile tests was made by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), through government controlled news agencies, such as Fars.

That’s even worse than the dreaded mechanical baseball pitcher, and (gasp! organ music! gasp!) the fearsome blow-me-up-Betty doll that simulates real sex.

I swear the whole planet is split with one side in reality and the other stuck in a repetitive fantasy mental loop.

I thought the millenia of fantasy passed with the age of Aquarius?

But I guess Islam is still stuck in the 12th century obviously.
