An anonymous Iranian...Ah, the slapstick thickens. <br /><br />An anonymous Iranian engineer through an anonymous Iranian reporter tells the Christian Science Monitor exactly how the Iranians scored a supersecret US drone.<br /><br />The story is nicely spiced, with among other things, the following:<br /><br />(1) a gratuitous insult of the Pakistanis<br /><br />(2) the Iranians being "drunk", supposedly with happiness<br /><br />(3) the simile of the laptop ("Have you ever had a new laptop? Imagine that excitement multiplied many-fold.")<br /><br />(4) Revolutionary Guards worried about autodestruct but "so excited they could not stay away."<br /><br />What--no pistachios? <br /><br />Adding to the humor the following:<br /><br />(1) that recently a USAF drone crashed landed on its home airstrip in the Seychelles<br /><br />(2) that the Christian Science Monitor, before it went Neo-Con, used to be a comparatively decent news rag.<br /><br />Okay, kiddies, get out your maps and answer the following questions:<br /><br />(1) where are the Seychelles?<br /><br />(2) where is Mary Baker Eddy buried?Eugene Costahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15649417453647803409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9230592.post-4342445070202903902011-12-13T10:00:54.770-05:002011-12-13T10:00:54.770-05:00"the Iranians claim to have shot down a U.S. ..."the Iranians claim to have shot down a U.S. drone"<br /><br />Apparently a review of the U2 Incident is in order for the forgetful.<br /><br />Has it been recalled, for example, that Powers was supposed to destroy the plane in the air and commit suicide under certain circumstances--neither of which he did.<br /><br />The point--a supersecret drone without remote autodestruct?<br /><br />Hardly credible, which suggests either that the autodestruct did not work or the whole incident was planned.<br /><br />The Iranians are almost the accomplished chessplayers the Soviets in their prime used to be--does the US and Israel, among others, really believe they are naive enough not to know the gambit inside out?<br /><br />In either case, the US again seems to have outsmarted itself, which, given the incompetence of the high inner circles, is easy enough to do, if only by accident.<br /><br />The triple reverse of asking for the drone back is no doubt Obama's and Clinton's little fillip of psychological warfare to add<br />another provocation to the initial provocation, which was the drone.<br /><br />The irony is this--one of the problems of dangling juicy bait is that to be persuasive it must be juicy and juiciness also divulges secrets, even when it is known to be bait.<br /><br />The Iranians are now claiming that they will soon reverse engineer the drone in a new improved version.<br /><br />"Improved"?

If it had said 'Nein,' the Serb resistance would have re-stated and handed the election to the opposition, they could have said 'Ja' yesterday, but then there is no telling how events may play out in the next few months. Their plan is a risky one but worth the gamble.<br /><br />As for Russia, I don't think the empire is engineering a 'colour revolution' there; they would rather have Putin - better the devil you know. They know the kind of government they would want has no chance in getting in to power, but just look at the make up of the protesters - its mostly the Communists of the far right, neither is an outcome the empire would welcome.Asterihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04753296082976125114noreply@blogger.com
