Nukes, yes. Spell-check, no.
Are you inclined to accept the Thug-In-Chief's protestations that Iran wants nuclear power solely for peaceful purposes? If so, can you kindly explain why the "Down Wiht Israel" balloon pictured above features a nuclear symbol?
"Iran sends defiant message to West on revolution day," by Hossein Jaseb for Reuters (thanks to Jeffrey Imm):
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran aims to send a satellite into space next summer and will not retreat in a nuclear row with the West, its president said on Monday, in a defiant speech on the anniversary of the country's 1979 Islamic revolution.President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addressed a major rally in Tehran a week after Iran sparked international concern by test-launching a rocket designed to carry its first domestically made research satellite into orbit.
"God willing, next summer the first 100 percent Iranian-made satellite will be positioned in orbit," he said.
The West fears Tehran is covertly trying to obtain nuclear bombs. Iran, the world's fourth-largest oil exporter, says it needs nuclear energy to meet booming electricity demand.
The technology used to put satellites into space could also be used for launching weapons, analysts say, and both the United States and Russia have expressed concern about the rocket test. [...]
Ahmadinejad also said Iran would not back down in the nuclear dispute with the West, despite the threat of a third round of U.N. sanctions on the Islamic Republic over its refusal to halt sensitive atomic work.
"They should know that the Iranian nation will not retreat one iota from its nuclear rights," he told the crowd which had gathered in the capital for the 29th anniversary of the revolution that toppled the U.S.-backed shah.
Iranian officials had called on people to turn out in large numbers to show their unity in the face of Western pressure. State television broadcast footage of rallies held across Iran.
The official IRNA news agency said Ahmadinejad was addressing a "million-strong gathering" but it was not immediately possible to confirm this figure.
"America should understand and believe that the Iranian nation will not back down from its rights," demonstrator Leila Jafari told Reuters.
Others at the rally burnt effigies representing Uncle Sam....
It's 'Revolution Day'? I completely forgot! Gotta send that special someone a bouquet of red roses.
Oh, and death to America.
Hot air Balloon, that says it all.
That about sums it up.
Donw wiht Irna adn Deaht ot Ameriac!
Perhaps it was a deliberate metathesis, an attempt by Iranians to display a little wit. If so, it failed.
'Donw wiht Irna adn Deaht ot Ameriac!'
Is that you, Naseems??
Every day they prove more and more how peaceful Islam is.
islam is just plain evil.
The sooner muslims address this challenge the better.
But then, islam will implode, and those professional islam 'explainers' will be without an identity.
Maybe they're protesting someone named "Wiht Israel"?
We wouldn't have the sorts of protests if we simply gave them the 'respect' they deserve and the 'rights' they're entitled to have. If we simply gave them that, there wouldn't be any protests at all and we'd all live together in peace and the world would be a wonderful place for all mankind to live in harmony.
Sorry guys...haven't had my coffee this morning...gotta' have that to think straight...
Perhaps the balloon was left over from a school science fair ... and the nuclear symbol was overlooked ... apparently by a hasty worker ... wiht dyslexia.
Now who wouldn't want their veil-covered head shot against that backdrop for their scrapbook?
They can't even spell 'wit' correctly!
What nuclear 'rights' is Beasty Boy talking about?
Just exactly what is a 'nuclear right'. Who determined that, and who awarded it? Can you give yourself a right? Do others have to respect it?
I guess Allah can give muslims various 'rights', that the infidel world does not have. Maybe those are the rights he refers to. If it is an Allah given right for Iran to have nuke power (weapons?), does this make it acceptable? What if you don't believe in Allah, or think he is a demon, then what?
North Korea shows more stability than Iran, Kim is a
psychotic horny little devil, but he has no 'Mahdi in a box', waiting to pop out at any second. He has no Allah to get in the way, and he is already the perfect man himself, so he has no use for Mohammad.
Does Pakistan have nuclear 'rights', how about Syria? I don't know, but they have politicians, Ayatollahs and Imams all over the place that think they do. As Beasty (or the Ayatollah) thinks, so the deed shall be done, but I don't think 'rights' have a whole lot to do with it...
Part of the point.
Webster's is probably banned in Iran too.
"Ahmadinejad also said Iran would not back down in the nuclear dispute with the West, despite the threat of a third round of U.N. sanctions on the Islamic Republic over its refusal to halt sensitive atomic work."
We're onto our "third round of UN sanctions". It's not a dispute. It's a joke, and a bad one at that. Too bad it's on us.
Go back to sleep. According to the MSM, Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez are just "critics of President Bush". That would put them in the same category as John McCain.
CTYankee...
Critics of Bush especially the ones who swoon and faint are usually liberals. There are conservative critics of Bush, but they don't hold their breath till they turn blue, and pass out. Hugo turns blue and passes out frequently. I hate to say this, but liberal/leftist/socialists get high from holding their breath. Blue contests are held regularly as fundraiser's. When liberals speak but make no sense at all, it's a tip off that they have been holding their breath. Oxygen deprivation is why they are confused. look at their finger nails for confirmation. Blue fingernails are the proof, also purple around lips...
Beasty Boy Ahamadinijad never turns blue, or passes out, he just laughs and thinks, 'stupid kaffurs'.
Every day they prove more and more how peaceful Islam is.
Given what they decline to report on the mainstream television networks and in mainstream newspapers, I'd have to agree.
Islam may be hiss, but ignorance is bliss.
Atom bombs for an "Islamic Republic"?
Friends don't let friends join suicidal death cults. They don't buy them guns, either.
They always have rallies against the Great Satan and Israel whenever they want to prop up their tired Revolution. Why haven't they seen our B-52s yet? I'm just so tired of Iran.
Hurry Bush - it's time to act - before Obama bin Clinton serves up Israel to Iran on a silver platter.
"Are you inclined to accept the Thug-In-Chief's protestations that Iran wants nuclear power solely for peaceful purposes? If so, can you kindly explain why the "Down Wiht Israel" balloon pictured above features a nuclear symbol?"
It's as simple as connecting the dots.
I believe that Dinner Jacket and Iran want nuclear power for "peaceful purposes" as much as I believe that Hitler loved Jews.
"Taqiyya," anyone?
So true, darcy!
What - do they think that we have stupid written across our foreheads?
I know what's written across theirs.....
...."L" for
L U N A T I C!!!
That's funny champ. The next time Robert goes on air to debate some muslim, he should do that when the hypotheticals start to fly. That would be just too damn frickin' funny. Just the picture of someone popping the "L" on their forehead and crying out "Lunatic."
Hey Kevin - yeah Robert may want to use both hands so he can hand signal "LL"
L U N A T I C - L O S E R!
:-)
What would Iran (and the whole of the Middle East) do with their spare time if they couldn't protest against the U.S/ Israel? Would they become productive societies? Would their standards of life improve?
I guess living without spell check and burning things is just too fun to give up...
It's also possible that the mis-spelling was deliberate...that someone in the agitprop department is doing his/her little bit to undermine the regime's propaganda.
Dumb Wiht Iran!
So true, darcy!

Yeah, they do. Because con man Mo told 'em they were the "superior peoples." ! Right! Hey Superiors, you wouldn't be contacting each other so easily without the West that invented the Internet! And everything else, besides. Tell me, what did Mohammedans invent? Answer: Nothing.
Hey darcy - they invented a fairy tale as a cleverly disguised "religion of peace", that's their big contribution :-)
Y'know... I have not once in my life burned an effigy.
I don't think that's going on the "bucket list," though.

A "fairy tale," champ? How about a Nightmare?
Otherwise, nothing. Oh, they got oil by accident of geography, that's it. The Mohammedans and their Murder-god, allah.
No kidding, darcy! I would love to wake up only to discover that this was just a bad dream. Pinched myself - nope - it's real alright.
I like the idea of cutting off the net and anything that a modern civilization needs to compete in the world. If they want to go and re-invent their form of cruelty {scratch that} society let them do it all.
As I understand it the enemy needs to have the ability to wage war taken away form him. I don't care if Mr. Mo's messages are pickup in bottles floating on the Caspian Sea. The less we hear from him in the public the better. However I would also have the best international intelligence looking at them and him all the time. An have the planes parked on the runway and missiles 24/7.

Yes, maybe we're taking this whole Iranian nuclear weapon program too seriously. After all, this is the religion that gave us the "falling down the stairs" suicide bomber.
