IRAN MISSILE TEST BLUFF: OLD ROCKETS, BOGUS VIDEO
Fri Jul 11 2008 15:18:02 ET

Many of Iran's claims related to missile tests during "Great Prophet III" war games -- appear to be smoke and mirrors!

The missiles tested DID NOT not have 2,000-kilometer range, the NEW YORK TIMES is planning to report on Saturday.

Iran DID NOT launch a Shahab-3 missile, able to reach Israel.

It was an older missile that was out of production, newsroom sources tell DRUDGE.

And a video showing what appeared to be many missiles being fired -- is actually one missile, filmed from different angles!

NYT's Bill Broad is planning to quote military insiders.

Did anyone see the 'story' about Wenger joining Utd as Fergie's number 2? Apparently,Wenger was supposed to have said that it has always been his dream to join a successful club and get his hands on a European cup.

No Caucasians involved or to blame? Nothing to see here then. . . .move along.

@J-Girl

You sound like a quintessential cockblocker.

I am an undergraduate and There is this girl i am so much interested in. i asked her out and she told me she had a boyfriend in a school in another state. i kind of really like her but the issue of her havin a boyfriend makes me sick.

I know the feeling. You are scheming how to introduce your abunna to a girl and she is telling you about her boyfriend. . . . makes me sick to my stomach!

doyin13:
this infatuation with Clinton too much sef.

Clinton this Clinton that.

This was when(2003) Clinton was in the left's good books,hence,the "award" of an IQ of 182 points. I'm sure now, his IQ has 'fallen' to just below Johnson's.

davidylan:
no disputing but if you guide them they are very fast learners.

Guide wetin? I don't think I have the time to teach any woman how to kiss. . . .Naija women with their thick heads.

Queenisha:
see who's talking.

Are you disputing the fact that Naija girls can't kiss?

Naija girls wey no sabi kiss. Absolutely clueless bunch.

Only a dunce will believe this hoax.

Morenisexy:
Who wants irresponsible, careless men?

Its this kind of attitude that is causing wahala! Keep waiting for your fantasy Italian or French hunk to sweep you off our feet.  

The single men and women should just "find each other" and the problem is solved. There will always be "left-overs" amongst women but they will be relatively few.

Lets say no to staying single! Women should stop resisting advances from single men,  

RedHotChic:
You are operating under the natural law of "action and reaction is equal and opposite".  Your choice of words is bothering me. why use "offset"? It's not a question of x=y because in the male female phenomenon, 1 man can easily  offset 20 women either by marriage or by sexual favors.  Will that not fit into your "offset" theory? although x=y, nx can also be equal to Y.(Y being male).

If 70% of Black women are unmarried(as the article states, which must be what Oprah refers to as 'single'),then it becomes a question of whether the remaining 30% of Black women are of sufficient numbers for the male suitors. There must be some corresponding large numbers of 'single men' out there.

Eldee noted an article that stated that there are 70 single black men for 100 single black women,not counting the prison population and those in group homes .If you count the prisoners and those in group homes(whatever that means),that brings the amount of single black men close to the female equivalent.

davidylan:
perhaps 70% is pushing the limits of reality but the fact is this is a general problem. Black women just arent finding black men to marry them kapish. Whether 17% or 70%.

My own view is that whatever the figure for women,there must be a comparative number of single men to offset it.

TOH:
How come lesbians werent considered in this equation, funmi

You dey mind am? She gives us a scenario of 3 straight women against 2 men of which 1 of the men is gay and thus ruled out. The ratio of women to men is not even 3:2 in any society,never mind 3:1(straight women to straight men).

There is no evidence that homosexuality is more prevalent in men.

The only plausible explanation for the illogical 70% stat is the male prison population but that isn't big enough to offset the shortfall.

davidylan:
Considering the fact that the population of women is slightly more than that of the male . . . this theory may not be true.

The difference is marginal,won't be more than 5%,even taking into consideration lower life expectancy for males.

If there is a community of 100 straight females and 95 straight males and 70 of the women are single,that will leave 30 women to be matched with 95 men.

@RedHotChic

Theory B:
Let X= unamrried woman 1
Y= unmarried single woman 2
Z= man 1
L= gay male
P = unmarried woman 3

I wonder which society you will find a ratio of straight men to straight women of 1:3

folahann:
leave Jackal alone

That's all them losers could do to console themselves

Just love seeing this

Given that you have confessed to wanting to take Fabregas to bed and bugger him,you should keep what you love seeing to yourself.

70% of Black women are single? Generally ,for every heterosexual woman who is single, there must be a corresponding single heterosexual male . . . .70% of Black women can't be single without a comparatively high number of single men elsewhere to offset this huge amount.

These Gunners have no shame! After 3 trophyless years,they have been reduced to claiming trophies won by their players on national duty .

Shabtai Shavit, an influential adviser to the Israeli parliament's defence and foreign affairs committee, told The Sunday Telegraph that time was running out to prevent Iran's leaders getting the bomb.

Mr Shavit, who retired from the Israeli intelligence agency in 1996, warned that he had no doubt Iran intended to use a nuclear weapon once it had the capability, and that Israel must conduct itself accordingly.

"The time that is left to be ready is getting shorter all the time," he said in an interview.
Despite offering incentives, the West has failed to persuade Iran to stop enriching uranium. Israeli officials believe the diplomatic process is useless and have been pressing President Bush to launch air strikes before he leaves office on January 20 next year.

They apparently fear that the chances of winning American approval for an air attack will be drastically reduced if the Democratic nominee wins the election. Mr Obama advocates talks with the regime in Tehran rather than military action.

That view was echoed by Mr Shavit, who said: "If [Republican candidate John] McCain gets elected, he could really easily make a decision to go for it. If it's Obama: no. My prediction is that he won't go for it, at least not in his first term in the White House."

Look at this oik called aloraboi still blithering. Only a slowpoke will think the Niger-Delta wasn't self sufficient.

Kobojunkie:
Just simple answers needed please

1) How much does the Niger delta States get in annual funding from the Federal Government? And What was the money ACTUALLY spent on during the 2007 fiscal year. If you have detailed report, I would like to see it please

Niger-Delta money is not for the Federal Government to distribute as if they are doing Niger-Deltans a favor.

aloraboi:
Tuh Tuh Tuh- Mumu like you! Coca and other Agricultural produce before crude oil was discovered.

4play u stupid no be small, maybe ice don freeze your brain, Omo ale

I see you ignored the agric. produce part and focused on d cocoa just to place an insult. Useless fellow, get angry with someone else not me.

Your imbecility must be congenital. Nigeria depended on mostly agricultural produce from the South-West and what were these products composed of if not mainly cocoa? Idiot!

These followers of a pedophiliac ghastly lascivious Arab shyster,having been given their own section,still insist on taking pot shots on others.

aloraboi:
@4Play
You are the stupid one here. How can you just insult someone like that?

Nigeria did depend on Agricultural produce if u didn't know and he said that clearly,  Stupid people are the ones who talk anyhow!

If you believe that Nigeria ever depended mainly on cocoa money,you must be an slowpoke.

kolkuns:
let d people from Niger Delta understand that before exporting oil, federal government got her revenue from agriculture (i.e produce from cocoa in west and groundnut from the north) and money from this exportation was shared among the existing states then. So is now the turn of the Niger Delta to contributes their own quota to the development of Nigeria, and they have been favored by giving them the lion shares from their revenue in expense of the other zone. They should go and ask their Governors and Rep Representatives were they keep the money for development of Niger Delta. They also ask the MD of NDDC were the money is. They should allow us to rest.

I don't know where these ghastly imbeciles obtained this canard about Nigeria depending on cocoa and groundnut money in the past.

@adconline

Martha Stewart is a convicted criminal. Are you suggesting that our honorable house members are akin to criminals?

jassie:
Yes, they are indeed going too far. What they did at Bonga was a clear example of OVER-FREEDOM!!!

When late Gen. Sanni Abacha ordered the execution of Saruwiwa years back, people said Abacha was wrong and shouldn't have killed him. Now see what the Militants are doing in the Niger Delta.

When Nigeria was feeding on Coca money and other Agricultural products most of which came from the South-West (Yoruba land), the Yorubas never said the Government was cheating them. Because of the problems of the Niger Delta, NDDC was created to see to their problems and allocation of large funds from Crude Oil produce are given to the people.
Instead of the militants to vexate their anger upon their leaders who loot Federal allocation for the Niger Delta, they are busy kidnapping foreigners and causing social unrest. They don't see Nigeria as one country and what they are trying to achieve at the end is forming a country of their own.

Nigeria ever depended on cocoa? You are stupid.

Its one thing commenting about the strengths and weaknesses of your rivals,its another yapping about another club's transfer saga. Did SAF say anything when Henry was angling for a move? The link you produced was from Feb 2008.

Wenger should shut his face and concentrate on stopping the stampede of key players away from his club-Hleb,Flamini and Adebayor all at one go.

It just confirms that Wenger is a Viewer. You will never see SAF or Rafa poking their snout into other club's business.

texazzpete:
Thank you! At times i cringe when i hear the stupid statements people can make.
How can the source of over 90% of your country's income be a 'curse'?!

There's under-development, true, but we wouldnt have even the small infrastructure we have today without money.

Population of 150 million yet people think the country can be easily sustained on selling cassava et al.

There is an enormous amount of empirical evidence suggesting, at least,a correlation between the abundance of mineral resources and poor economic growth.The phenomenon is variously known as resource curse or Dutch disease.

Living standards are generally higher in oil poor developing states compared to oil rich developing states. Among other things, the discovery of oil distorts spending and the movement of human capital.

In Nigeria,the best talents either want to work in the oil sector or for the banks who binge on Govt deposits,which deposits originate from oil revenues. This is okay if oil prices maintain a perpetually upward trajectory but oil prices are notoriously volatile.

The abundance of oil encourages the neglect of other vital sectors-manufacturing and agriculture

When you add; the corrupting effects of oil,the lack of the sort of accountability that exists in 'rental' states and the overall distortion of Govt planning and spending;you will see that oil can act as a curse.
