No Brakes and No Belts

Ahmadinejad’s speech, that the nuclear train “is moving ahead and it has neither a brake nor a reverse gear”, is the topic issue in the Blogestan. Behrang used the title “a president with no brake and a nation with no seat-belts”. Mullah Hasani wrote “dear passengers of the nuclear train, we just found out that the train’s brakes do not function. Do not panic. We may, at most, hit something or fell somewhere. Everything is normal…This is our definite right. It is fun to ride a train with no brakes. While we are traversing, you will be served with Yellowcake.” Aknoun sarcastically warns the US to run for their lives. Haji Kensington warns, “our fate train has no brakes…[it is fine, but] if they cannot lay rails enough fast, or if the driver does know not that the rails lead to a valley, then a tiny catastrophe might happen.”

When IR Shows Off, (Update: Oops! The Pictures Are Fake!)

Baztab writes,

It was mentioned in recent days that a satellite has been launched to the orbit, using an enhanced Shahab missile. The mention to be half-tone satellite was claimed to have been launched three weeks ago. In fact, what was launched was a below-orbit satellite which goes above balloons but below satellites…These rockets have little equipment and reach to 50 to 150 kilometers above the surface. The rocket uses solid fuel and its flight time is less than 40 minutes. After the launch, the rocket exhausts its fuel and then returns to the ground using a parachute. The executive deputy of the Aerospace Research Institute stated today that the mentioned rocket does not stay in the orbit.

It seems that Ahmadinejad was up to another fake scientific achievement. These pictures are published by Baztab and probably show the rocket.

Update: The picture are NOT taken in Iran. Gateway Pundit has the story.

Full Speed Towards?

“Bitter Language”, by Nikahang Kowsar, Rooz.

Fars reports that Ahmadinejad attended the national conference of the Clergy and Ideology Authorities in the Police. There, he stated “the enemies have always focused on an issue in the last 28 years and now they have concentrated on the nuclear issue”. He added “the nuclear technology is not just a science or a technology, it is the face off between the world of Supremacy [a name implying those who attempt to be big at the cost of others' suffering] and the power and political management of the revolution. They are not afraid of enrichment or the number of our equipment; they are afraid of the revolution…They know that if they loose this battle they have to give up in the whole world.” Ahmadinejad concluded, “Iran has the technology of [nuclear] fuel enrichment. This train is moving ahead and it has neither a brake nor a reverse gear. We have dismantled and thrown away the brake and the reverse gear last year.”

This is a real picture from Ahmadinejad’s speech.
