Winston translated the sign: The banner with the Obama picture says: “Obama, learn your lessons!”
Iran celebrated their latest combat choppers this week with a lavish ceremony.
Fars News reported:
Iran has produced a number of domestically-designed combat choppers named ‘Toufan’ (Hurricane) which are equipped with hi-tech weapons and anti-tank missiles, the defense ministry announced on Saturday.
“The combat chopper is equipped with advanced weapons systems, including anti-tank missiles, rocket-launcher and 20-mm artillery and enjoys high mobility,” Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said.
Vahidi also declared inauguration of the mass-production line of composite propellers for chopper 214 by the defense ministry’s affiliated industries.
Iran has recently made good progress in the air industry and has succeeded in gaining the technical know-how for producing stealth aircraft and drones.
Of course, no regime celebration would be complete without desecrating the American flag.

Since Iran is at war with the US and killing American solders, at a minimum by supplying weapons and training, I can only hope that CIA and US Special Ops are working to kill Iranian Qods and Revolutionary Guards, but I doubt it.
Mitch commented:
Well, it is good that Iran is mocking Obama. Obama is a bad president.
But in response to Canthisbe, it would be bad to kill Revolutionary Guards.
I can only hope that CIA and US Special Ops are working to kill Iranian Qods and Revolutionary Guards, but I doubt it.
Killing Revolutionary Guards wouldn’t do anything to change the Iran government. If we wish to wage war on Iran, we must wage war and overthrow their government, but I’m not sure that’s a good idea. Just killing a few guards will only anger Iran, but it won’t cause them to be less aggressive.

Jim, wondering if you’re following this:
http://noisyroom.net/blog/2010/05/02/rumors-swirl-around-oil-rig-explosion/
-snip from another site, quoted at link-
“A grim report circulating in the Kremlin today written by Russia’s Northern Fleet is reporting that the United States has ordered a complete media blackout over North Korea’s torpedoing of the giant Deepwater Horizon oil platform owned by the World’s largest offshore drilling contractor Transocean that was built and financed by South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., that has caused great loss of life, untold billions in economic damage to the South Korean economy, and an environmental catastrophe to the United States.
…
“To the attack itself, these reports continue, the North Korean “cargo vessel” Dai Hong Dan believed to be staffed by 17th Sniper Corps “suicide” troops left Cuba’s Empresa Terminales Mambisas de La Habana (Port of Havana) on April 18th whereupon it “severely deviated” from its intended course for Venezuela’s Puerto Cabello bringing it to within 209 kilometers (130 miles) of the Deepwater Horizon oil platform which was located 80 kilometers (50 miles) off the coast of the US State of Louisiana where it launched an SSC Sang-o Class Mini Submarine (Yugo class) estimated to have an operational range of 321 kilometers (200 miles).
“On the night of April 20th the North Korean Mini Submarine manned by these “suicidal” 17th Sniper Corps soldiers attacked the Deepwater Horizon with what are believed to be 2 incendiary torpedoes causing a massive explosion and resulting in 11 workers on this giant oil rig being killed outright. Barely 48 hours later, on April 22nd , this North Korean Mini Submarine committed its final atrocity by exploding itself directly beneath the Deepwater Horizon causing this $1 Billion oil rig to sink beneath the seas and marking 2010’s celebration of Earth Day with one of the largest environmental catastrophes our World has ever seen.”
It gets even more intrigue-laden.

Actually, that photo with Obama is taken from the cockpit of one of the helicopters that we left behind in Iran after the failed rescue mission, Operation Eagle Claw, which took place on April 24, 1980. The helicopter was on display at that Iranian ceremony.
So the message “Obama, learn your lessons!” is even more significant. The Iranians are taunting Obama with the memory of one of America’s most embarrassing military failures.
A lot of people argue that Operation Eagle Claw was doomed to failure from the start because of the restrictions put on it by Jimmy Carter. The Iranians are clearly making an Obama-Carter comparison.
As well they should. Obama is the best thing to happen to Iran since Carter.

Peace is achieved by the agressive use of force.
If you go to war you do so to win. It’s bloody messy and undesirable by normal people. At some point you have too for when the cause is just then fight we must. (thought I would use a stanza from the national anthem of the U.S.A. look it up it’s there.
powder is dry.

Greetings:
Brings to mind an internet story about a Marine Corps pilot who was flying his F/A-18 in southern Iraq when he was challenged by an Iranian air traffic controller for being in Iranian air space. After the pilot ignored the first couple of challenges, the Iranian controller threaten to send up some Iranian fighter plans to correct the situation.
“Send them up,” replied the Marine pilot, “I’ll wait.”

Yup. After November Obama will become a bitter lame duck. He’s too rigid and inflexible to alter his radical approach. So, without Congress on his side he’ll sulk for two years, and then we’ll toss him out and replace him with someone who will put American interests ahead of those of the “global community.”

Don’t discount Obama suspending the Constitution and declaring “martial law” after the November elections if they go the way everyone expects…of course, it might take some sort of “national calamity” first…..

Mitch:
Per The Christian Science Monitor:
“The Guards run the show in Iran
They have a hand in the nuclear program, attacks in Iraq, and politics.
Still, the United States must find a way to contain the Guards – they help run Iran’s nuclear program, have a hand in killing US soldiers in Iraq, and are playing an increasingly prominent role in Iranian politics”.
http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/1005/p09s02-coop.html
As a general proposition, it’s a good idea to kill anyone who is trying to kill you before they kill you. To allow someone to kill American soldiers and not to retaliate because you might anger them is nonsense. They don’t seem to be too concerned that they might anger us by providing the shaped explosives to kill hundreds of American solders in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Toufan must be Persian for Typhoon.

[Rahim also said that Obama promised to start publicly assigning blame to those he sees holding up peace and to force Israel into indefinitely extending its temporary settlement freeze.] who died and left obama king? to expect him to have the answers to age old problems when we still don’t know who he is – a serious mistake.you judge a man by his past deeds and obama’s are under lock and key…..

People have said that about every single president since Reagan. I’ll believe it when it happens.
Besides, who’s going to enforce permanent suspension of the Constitution and martial law based on nothing but the president’s whim? The people who wear the uniform aren’t mindless dopes who obey orders unquestioningly. Neither are our cops or feds.

So what if Iran mocks me? I suck! So what if Iran Smears the American flag. It sucks. Let them mock us. We deserve it.
Look, I held out my hand to Iran. They left a steaming pile of crap in it. I have learned my lesson. Next, time I will hold out a bowl.
I have bowed, stooped and apologized for America’s suckatude. It did not work.
Let me be clear, I will make America suck better. I will make America suck better than Barney Frank sucks.
My limousine is running and I am traveling from bomb shelter to bomb shelter. My bomb shelters look good. How about yours? Good day.
