Iran has ended its large scale Great Prophet 9 exercise in the Persian Gulf, test firing a “new strategic weapon,” which it says will play an important role in the future battle against the US.

The test was performed on the final day of the exercise, staged by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, through which about one-fifth of the world's oil passes.

"The new weapon will have a very decisive role in adding our naval power in confronting threats, particular by the Great Satan, the US," Admiral Ali Fadavi, Iran’s navy chief, told the Revolutionary Guards' website.

And why would they say that if Obammy is their friend? Maybe Obama approves of them attacking the US?

If/when such an attack comes to pass, yes we can nuke the dickens out of Iran. But the fallout (pun may or may not apply) would be considerable.

True dat, but it would take a CiC who loves this nation, and is committed to serving and protecting her people, to do so.

That's precisely the opposite of what we have now.

I think Obama would like no less than to push this onto the back of a President Cruz.

Whether he would want it to happen when it can yet affect an election cycle is less clear.

I think so, too. If there's one thing Obama has no capacity for, it's confronting and handling serious international conflicts.

Like all libs, he's a strutting coward who saves his anger and his heavy hand for his own citizens, while turning his tail to real threats.

King Obama probably gave Iran the parts with instructions how to assemble.

In the beginning
was the Word
and the Word was with God.
He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

And so it begins.

And so what begins?

Good eye. That thing looks like it was flame cut from 1/4 inch steel plate, ground with a body grinder, and bent to a contour.

Maybe there should be an entire thread about the [theatrical] difference (with many ‘live’ examples for application in day-to-day speech/use) between a simile, satire, parody, metaphor and farce.
