Santa Claus Shot Down by SA-15 Missile over Northern Iran

TEHRAN (Dec 24)-The Iranian News Agency is claiming that the Doshan Tapeh Air Base commander has reported one of it's newly aquired Russian SA-15 anti-aircraft missile defense batteries engaged and shot down the Santa Claus reindeer propelled flying sled over Northern Iran today. The target was tracked on radar for 10 minutes before the order to fire was given by the regional air defense commander

Witnesses report seeing the SA-15 streak skyward erupting in a brilliant flash and then a giant fireball plummeting to the earth. The fireball was captured on film.

The smoldering wreckage was discovered in the mountainous region of Mazandaran Province, just south of the Caspian Sea.

The crash site had been looted by local village children leaving only scraps of colorful paper wraps and ribbon amid a large impact crater.

There were no signs of a survivor. Villagers reported a large pack of wolves carried off the reindeer remains.

A NORAD command spokesperson at Peterson Air Force Base answered "no comment" when asked if Santa had yet to appear on US radar. An unnamed senior radar specialist commented, "In all the years I've been doing this I've never seen Santa fail to show up on radar. I fear something dreadful has happened".


Doshan Tapeh Air Base Commander, Rashaii Albukaala discusses the missile incident on Memri TV.

Where's the first post complaining about Breaking or Not Breaking News?

Where's the first annoying post of 40 "Just Damn's" or "Bush's Fault?"

Where's the guy that DEMANDS an accurate link?

Freepers get so darn lazy on holidays.

I've just received inside information that it was a "Santa-like-with-reindeer" UAV that had covertly been tracking some oddly shaped fruit cake shipments crossing the border!

Well, if the Islamic Republic hadn't bagged the notorious S. Claus, Abe Foxman and his CAPO (Collaborationist Appeaser Press Organization) Air Defense Branch were waiting to nail the non-inclusive thought criminal as he entered US airspace.

Knowing how well Russian Surface to Air missiles performed in both Iraq wars, I am convinced the Mad Mullahs really shot down

My God, what have we gone? We didn't want to get along. We refused to sing kum-bah-yah. If we had only loved them--Santa would be alive tonight.

May God have mercy on our souls.
