A rather dismal display. "Iran missile test failed: US observers," from AFP, August 20 (thanks to all who sent this in):
[...] Iran announced on Sunday that it had successfully launched into space a missile with a dummy satellite. There were conflicting accounts by Iranian officials as to whether the missile was carrying a satellite or simply capable of carrying one.A US intelligence official, who asked not to be identified, said the Iranian missile failed shortly after lift-off.
"It was a rather dismal display," the official said. "It certainly didn't get very far off the ground, and it definitely did not meet the overall objectives that the Iranians reported the test achieved."
It eventually attained orbit in the photoshop.
The good news is that is was an utter failure and they were shown to be the liars that they are.
The bad news is that if they are allowed to keep working at it, they will learn from their failures and eventually gain success much like the Soviet rocket failures many years ago.
This needs to be made more of a main story around the World. Imagine the humiliation? Imagine how much less credibility anything that the Iranian officials say will have.
Let's all take a moment to laugh at the emasculated Iranian space program.
Poor Ahmadinejad couldn't get it up.
Viagra, perhaps?
Spot On,
Agreed. This test failed but the next one might not. The Iranians will not be discouraged from pursuing their dreams by the failure of this one test. Complacency is something we need to guard against. No one can assume the next test is years away. Chinese and Russian expertise are at Iran's disposal.
Spot on, yeah, they'll keep trying. Ths U.S. failed in its first two attempts to launch a satellite. That didn't stop us, and it won't stop them.

Yup, and without that help these 7th century morons wouldn't have a clue about building a rocket. No instructions in the koran, and it is "rocket science" after all, isn't it? . They can't even build a reliable automobile or even manufacture their own toilet paper. Oh wait, they don't use toilet paper, do they? They are, however, able to hire westerners to Photoshop their launch failures into photographic successes.
Iran was just setting off rockets to celebrate Zionist Victory Day.
That included sparkers and pinwheels and whatever other fireworks they were able to buy from the Chicoms.
Hey, a party is a party, and sometimes a firework fizzles.
Chinese and Russian expertise are at Iran's disposal.
Chinese rocket expertise? Thank you, Bill Clinton.
Oops! A+ for getting something to explode, F for getting something in orbit. Doesn't mean they wouldn't try again. Doesn't mean they won't succeed.
Meanwhile, the people of Iran live in poverty.
Pakistan has the bomb and look at the prosperity it brought too!
They will boast of this as a success, the way they always do with every public failure.
It was the will of Allah...
Abscedere ,
That is what I was going to post. Funny how everything is "inshallah" except what the infidel world does.
Muhammad never had a satellite.
/no ice cream, no TV, no nothing
Let's all bow our heads for just a moment and pray for extra gravity all over Iran and Pakistan.
Iranian ICBM. Not good.
Of course the test met the overall objectives! The engine started and it blew up just like the suicide belt that served as the basis for its design.
undaunted, hilarious "extra gravity" lol.
Glad this one failed, but I agree with e1 here, they will try again and one day they will succeed unfortunately. We should be taking out their launching facilities.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't inventions of the infidels haram? Oh that's right, only things that can't be used to promote jihad or to kill people. (I know a little redundant.)
The irony in that "religion" never ceases to amaze me.
Imagine the society they could have if they put the amount of time, money and energy into development that they spend trying to kill us. When they do succeed in destroying the infidel nations and the whole world is one giant ummah shithole, then what?
Frankly, I don't think they've thought this whole jihad thing through.
You have another chance Israel, destroy their program before they get a chance to figure out what Allah did wrong.
Am I the only one reading too much into it?

The missing imam (or their god?) will return and make their lives eternally blissful! The irony is that they fault the West for its sexual proclivities but their afterlife is one huge orgy.
NOW do you see what happens when you let a woman lead the Islamic Republic's contingent to infidel Olympics, carrying the flag? TOLD YOU SO! /sarc
Speaking of women in the Olympics, does anyone know if any of the OIC countries had a team in Women's Beach Volleyball?
Iran may want to spring for some Cialis...

Allah gave Mohaammad a dispensation on the number of "wives" and concubines he could have here on earth. I presume the wealthy Muslims today, figure they have the same dispensation. They treat their wives and concubines very much the same as a Western person treats a prostitute. Then they condemn the West their sexual proclivities.
Simply inform the Iranian and every Islamist nation's populace that the American flag is already on the surface of the moon, we own the entire surface sphere— every square lunar inch is a possession, a territory, what have you, of the United States. Then in the same breath inform the Islamist populations that we are going for the planet Mars next, and we intend to take possession of that surface sphere too. At this time we will have possession of the Boardwalk and Park Place properties, and we also possess all the green and the red properties, too, ... and Islamists have nothing. And there's no way the Islamists could organize themselves to compete, grab a few planets of their own, and possibly ketchup.
Ron with lasers and Star Wars defense shield talk brought the Ruskies to buckle with this kind of talk. Perhaps something similar, if coordinated, could occur to get the Islamist nations youth to rise up and destroy the last of the dangerous dinosaurs that roam the earth ...
The Islamist man is a knucklehead; they have no one but their two bit selves to blame for possessing nothing. Some one should tell them what's going on ..., George W. et al., certainly isn't saying the right words. George W. should make a speech at the UN before he leaves office, and his words will kick 'em right in the nuts a couple of time ... he'd give a speech spelling out the reality of the situation.
Future Arab youth are going to be mighty ashamed of their past leaders for being so ...? what's the word I'm looking for here?
I saw a Muslim woman run the 100m sprint in the semi finals. She had on the scarf, long top, long pants, everyone else in the race had on shorts, short tops, no scarf. The muslim woman was dead last.
k24anson,
A fitting word might be ignorant, but that's probably not strong enough.
You're whole post was just freaking funny, and exactly spot on target. The zombies just can't get over the fact that infidels have walked all over their precious ilah. I'll tell you this: If that idiot Imanutjob can figure out how to shoot a Shaheeb-3 (or whatever) to Pluto, he can have it.
(Of course, we can give him some fine pix of where he might try to land there...evil grin.)
In the meantime, I would agree with a grand strategy of gloating to the zombie world. The next time any of these morons start boasting about yada yada "we boosted a satellite because the Koran has all knowledge and science.." yada yada, we simply respond with the very simple and well known phrase:
Been there, Done that, Seen that!

What do we know about the general standard of workmanship of totalitarian states, Islamic or otherwise? Lousy.
What are slave workers likely to do? Does anyone suppose the average dissenter, slaving away in a Chinese labor camp, isn't going to ever-so-subtly sabotage some of the military junk they're being forced to produce? Corrie ten Boom and her workmates, slaving away on a Nazi assembly line producing military equipment during her time in Ravensbruck, didn't allow their Christian feelings or their dislike of doing less than their best, prevent them from persistently and sneakily sabotaging what they were supposed to be making, so as to contribute their modest mite to the failure of the Nazi war machine.
Slaves in the kitchen tend to piss in the soup if they think they can get away with it.
Furthermore: do you think either Russia or China gives a damn about the quality, or otherwise, of what they're selling to the Iranians? All *they* care about is getting the cash. It's not as if either of them has a Customer Service and Complaints Department, and I doubt they are interested in Returns and Refunds. Caveat emptor. Indeed, one wonders whether they may not have installed devices, in some of the stuff they've sold, that might render such devices inoperable if the Iranians should attempt to turn on the vendors.
There is a part of me that hopes that Iran's Grand Plan to Destroy Israel will go the way the Death Star does at the end of Star Wars Part 1: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 4 3 2 BOOOOM right there on the launch pad taking several thousand mullahs and imams with it.
"The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
"The LORD [YHWH] is known by the judgement which he executeth; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands".
Psalm 9: 15-16.
Here's hoping for a really big Work Accident.
However, let's also bear in mind the proverb: 'God helps those who help themselves'.
I understand that according to rabbinic tradition the sea did not part until one Israelite was brave enough to jump into it.
Imagine the first time they try to launch a nuke at Israel...perhaps we will see the Biblical prophesy fulfilled when it falls short in the desert and creates the "sea of glass" mentioned in Revelation.
No Photoshop to the rescue?

I can picture that. That's funny. I can see her at the end of the race huffing and puffing. LOL
