Iran tests new invisible, talking missile that will penetrate bullshit

[bigtree]

Iran has reportedly test fired a new torpedo off its south coast which was unseen, according to the U.S. State Dept. Condi Rice complained today that Iran has developed an invsible missile aimed directly at the Bush regime's rattling sabers.

However, some experts were skeptical that the missile could actually penetrate the Pentagon propaganda machine.

Although Iran has an educated, motivated population, and maintains a navy and an air force, its doublespeak technology is largely outdated and underfunded compared to the offices of the new U.S. 'democracy czar', Elizabeth Cheney. As “freedom agenda co-ordinator”, Cheney has set up bases within striking distance of Iran to bring about regime change with all of the ridicule and bluster a great nation like America can manage.

An Iranian state television address said today "Revolutionary Guard naval forces a few minutes ago test fired a powerful torpedo in the Strait of Hormuz."

"This torpedo is capable of destroying manufactured mandates to conquer, exceptionalism, double-standards, and outright lies at any depth and moving at any speed." Iran claimed.

The test comes in the middle of Gulf wargames that began in 1991 with the first assault on Iraq, and later codified into U.S. public policy with doctrines and policy reviews.

but, seriously . . .

Iran makes new 'wargame' claim

Iran earlier in the wargames said it had tested a radar-evading missile and an underwater missile that can outpace enemy warships. Iran said in February last year that it had started a mass production line of torpedoes. Iran has also started building midget submarines, which it says are capable of firing torpedoes.

David Kay, the White House's former weapons inspector in Iraq, warned that, as with Iraq, "Iranian exiles (like Chalabi and his bunch) are providing the press and government with a steady stream of new 'evidence' concerning Iran's nuclear-weapons activities."

In the spring of 2003, hawks in the Pentagon drafted a national-security presidential directive on Iran, a statement that formally commits the White House to a certain policy, the way a congressional act does for Congress. According to one official, the proposed language argued that the United States should push harder for regime change and target Iran's key economic and political centers, using independent actors not formally employed by the U.S. government.

Due to infighting within the administration, the presidential directive was never formalized. Several current and former officials say they now expect movement toward a presidential directive to begin again.

3. Yes, but there's a problem, you see.

Any "new invisible, talking missile that will penetrate bullshit" is completely undeployable except by those who have no respect for human lives and who either want to commit suicide or simply don't care--it would function as a free-wheeling, free-range suicide vest that might kill the enemy or its owner with equal ease.

Oh ... wait ... we're talking Iran.

Deployable. Quite, quite deployable.

"The flurry of technological achievements, shown in grainy television footage, coincides with a large naval war-game in the Gulf codenamed "Great Prophet".

The exercises around the Straits of Hormuz, through which two fifths of the world's oil passes, are seen in the West as "sabre-rattling" as Teheran faces concerted international pressure to halt its widely suspected attempt to develop a nuclear arsenal.

Western officials say the Iranians are trying to tell the West - especially America and Israel - that they can strike back against any attempt to bomb their nuclear facilities.

Iran could, for example, try to disrupt the shipping of oil through the Gulf, and threaten Israel with a growing array of missiles.

"The aim is political and rhetorical rather than military," said one British source. "I would not put any money on the Iranians' kit if it came to a contest with the American military." The clerical regime also wants to impress on the Iranian public that it remains powerful despite American attempts to destabilise it.
