| Iranian missiles have 'worldwide reach': Russia |
| 2009-02-08 |
| Iran's successful launch of a satellite with its own technology shows that the country's missiles "can reach any point on the globe," a senior Russian space sector official said Thursday. "I take my hat off to the Iranian scientists," Vitali Lapota, manager of the RKK Energuia space construction company declared was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency. "They have shown their missiles can reach any point on the globe." So, what of the 'Iran does not have the capability' bull you people were spouting last year when ripping US plans for missiles in Poland? Hmmmmm? Iran's launch Monday of the Omid (Hope) satellite carried by the home-built Safir-2 rocket has set alarm bells ringing among Western powers, because of the implications for the range of its ballistic missiles. US experts fear that Iran could eventually equip ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads capable of striking Europe or the United States. Monday's launch comes at a time when Iran has been ignoring repeated UN Security Council demands to freeze its uranium enrichment activities. A President 'with a pair' would take these comments public and announce the timeline for installation of the missiles in Poland and the radar in Czech |

| #2 You need more than a President "with a pair" - you need one with a functioning cerebellum. This one has neither. He only has a functioning jaw. |

| #1 A President 'with a pair' would take these comments public and announce the timeline for installation of the missiles in Poland and the radar in Czech. A president with a pair would announce to Iran they have 90 days to totally dismantle their nuclear program or THEIR nuclear program would meet ours. |
