Iran tests new invisible, talking missile that will penetrate bullshit

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has an educated, motivated population, and maintains a navy and an air force, its doublespeak technology is largely outdated and underfunded compared to the offices of the new U.S. 'democracy czar', Elizabeth Cheney.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.
