Or then it's a sinister use of reverse psychology, trying to make the world think Iran is bluffing while they develop missiles for real

I smell preemptive strike brewing.

Apparently there is confirmation from the U.S. government that missiles were fired, it's just that they all didn't fire as planned so they photoshopped an extra one going off. 3 of the 4 were successful. It would be kinda lame to put out an image where one misfired so they doctored the image. Expert: Iran `doctored' photo of missile launches "The whole purpose of these launches was to demonstrate Iran's capabilities and a photo showing one out of four rockets failing doesn't have the intended impact," Fitzpatrick said. Real or not, Iranian missile fire must stop: US The United States had detected the launch of seven missiles on Wednesday, including a Shahab-3 missile said to be capable of striking Israel, the official said, asking to remain anonymous.

Yeah, CNN has coverage of it too. I know this isn't the first time I've seen such evidince of photoshoppery coming from the IRI. But I recall, it wasn't here at 1bc. It was on a Persian forum I used to participate in last fall. They banned me when they realised I was not Persian and was railing against the Ayatollahs, saying things like Azad Iran! Azad Iran!!! (Free Iran! Free Iran!)

That's interesting about that Persian board you went to. Were they "free persians" or persians living in Iran? It is a bit of a wierd way to put it with that headline. I think that's a press "recap" of what the article is about, not an actual statement made by the "U.S."

Do you guys think "we" (US, or Israel or likely both) will hit Iran before Bush leaves office? A little informal poll here. I say 'yes.' Likely within 30 days while this missile thing is hot news.
