#1 Just wondering ... why so many articles from the Iranian press here? If I want to read Iran's propaganda, I am able to go to their site. I don't mind an occasional article where it makes sense, but dang, this site is plastered with Iranian propaganda lately.

#2 Perhaps you could contribute some news from other sources, cross?

Or you could just continue complaining about the free ice cream....

#3 why so many articles from the Iranian press here?

Since the Iranian press is just a tool of the Iranian "government", it gives you an insight into what they are thinking and therefore where they are heading.

If this is their level of rhetoric at their present capacity for confrontation, how do you think they will be actually behaving when they think they have the mother of all bombs in their pocket?

#4 I would be happy to contribute news from other sources. What is the procedure for doing so?

#5 I have tried to add something using that link at the top of the page but it has never seemed to work for me. Also, it seems to let me add a title and a source but no text. I am probably messing something up. The interface isn't exactly intuitive to me.

#6 Crosspatch, you clicked the "Post a news link" which lets you post a headline and link only.

Try clicking "Post your own article" instead. That lets you add text, commentary, and all the rest.

#9 "Abdul, commence building the S-300s!!"
"Yes, Your Insanity! First, I will need five hundred thousand Estes 'D' model rocket engines...."

#10 I made similar comments a couple of weeks ago but my concern is that some of the domestic coverage was stuff I couldn't find anywhere else. So it was more of a poke in the eye of the propagandists which used to be our media.

#12 They have the source code for the computers? The software tools?

#13 No, but the Chinese do.

#14 Maybe that's what they really meant: the Chinese are capable of building the S-300 for us. It's more believable.

#15 There have been rumors that China will sell the HQ-9 SAM (S-300 clone) to Iran.
