On May 18th 2008 Barack Obama stood on stage and said Iran was not a threat.
“Iran, Cuba, Venezuela? These countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don’t pose any serious threat to us,” he told a crowd at a campaign stop over the weekend, prompting the probable Republican opponent for the White House to respond that Iran already is attacking the U.S.
Today Iran test fired 9 missiles as a show of force against the United States and Israel. Doh!
TEHRAN, Iran - Iran test-fired nine long- and medium-range missiles Wednesday during war games that officials said were intended to show the country can retaliate against any U.S. or Israeli attack, state television reported.
The BBC reports on the new missile and the effect it had on the world oil markets. Note that Barack Obama and the American left don’t count actions that undercut global oil markets as any sort of threat to our way of living.
Iran has test-fired nine missiles, including a new version of the Shahab-3, which is capable of reaching its main regional enemy Israel.
The Shahab-3, with a range of 2,000km (1,240 miles), was armed with a conventional warhead, state media said. Iran has tested the missile before, but the latest launch comes amid rising tensions with the US and Israel over the country’s nuclear programme.
The early morning launch at a remote desert site sent oil prices climbing.
White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe called on Iran to “refrain from further missile tests if they truly seek to gain the trust of the world”.
What did Iran have to say?
Brig Gen Hoseyn Salami, commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards’ air force, said: “Our missiles are ready for shooting at any place and any time, quickly and with accuracy.
“The enemy must not repeat its mistakes. The enemy targets are under surveillance.“
Yeah, that peaceful victimized country of Iran. The same country of Holocaust deniers that is one of the largest sponsors of terrorism in the Middle East, exporter of Shia extremists in Iraq, killing American soldiers every chance they get and threatening the destruction of Israel and her allies. That one.
Yet the American left is offering this guy up as their savior, the messiah of leftist extremism.
Words have meaning.
