#1 Iran plans to boost its ballistic and cruise missile capacity and acquire modern fighter planes and submarines, the Iranian state news agency IRNA quoted a senior Defense Ministry official as saying on Saturday.

"...For peaceful purposes!!"

As far as I'm concerned, let the Iranian people eat missile fuel and new fighters. No one is going to get them out of this mess except themselves, and until they face up to that it's not going to change. The mullahs will continue to crush them with religious insanity and their lives will keep getting just a little bit worse.

#2 They just said the other day that they'd developed their own advanced 4th or maybe it was 5th or 11th generation fighters.

#4 "Generations?" A Mideast conspirator:
"We build not for children, but theatre,
Just adding new tiers
To our pyramids -- and fears --
As the leadership shrinks and gets weirder.
