The fact that they're photoshopping their Military Prowess imagery is heartening, actually. It means they're less advanced than they would have us believe. I'd love to see an American diplomat slide this picture across the table to his Iranian counterpart and say "Boo!"

The second from the right is the one that failed to launch. Why they bothered to photoshop over the failure isn't certain to me - I think it would have been easier to show three missiles launching, and if the fourth was on the ground, either clone sand and air over it or just show it as un-launched yet.

I also want an American diplomat to slide it across a table and say "Boo!" - accompanied by a few glossies of some of our test fires. Maybe we can get some Iranian shoe-banging on the table, some ululation, and it'll be a fun time party for all!

I love that word. More people should ululate just because I love reading it.

I liked the comment there by someone suggesting that maybe Iran could just Photoshop out Zionism.

Incompetent demagogues are the best kind.

True. Bush should drop a couple of bombs on them now and then dump the Iran war on Obama's plate. Then we'll see how much time he has left on his hands to socialise the USA. hahahaha

"OT" (even if here isn't even a topic)
What is so special about "ululare"? Chapter 1, page 1 in my first Latin book.

Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

Is it possible they just wanted to make him look taller? I hear he's pretty darn short.
