Iran said Saturday it will continue its ballistic missile program, after the U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon said that the missile tests aren’t in the spirit of the country’s landmark nuclear deal with world powers.

“Iran will strongly continue its missile program based on its own defense and national security calculations,” foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi said in comments published on the ministry’s website.

Iran’s missile program is not linked to the nuclear deal and does not conflict with the U.N. Security Council resolution endorsing the agreement, he said. “Iran’s missile program has aimed at defense and it is not designed to carry a nuclear warhead,” he added. …

What?

The rebuke didn’t stop them dead in their tracks?

That’s what I was thinkin’. Maybe the threat of a notation on their “permanent record” will make them take notice and cease their evil ways.

Hussein Obama’s legacy, like Bill Clinton’s, will be to give a terrorist country nuclear weapons.

Bill Clinton gave N. Korea nuclear technology apparently because the Clintons are for sale to the highest bidder.

Hussein Obama gave a treaty to Iran because that’s what Muslims do, they stick together. Hussein Obama’s JOB #1 is to destablilize the world as much as he can for the ultimate goal of Islam:

DESTROY THE WEST SO THAT ISLAM CAN RULE THE WORLD

For that, you have to give Hussein an A+ because most Americans will never believe the obvious, Hussein is working for them, not us.

“Iran’s missile program has aimed at defense and it is not designed to carry a nuclear warhead,”

Well, okay then. That puts my mind at ease.

Was it a rebuke or a ‘strongly worded’ rebuke? Did they add an ‘or else’?

I watched a great documentary last night. It was about StuxNet. If you are interested in cyber warfare this is a great show to watch. It is “On Demand”

Iran’s response:

“We fart in your general direction!”
