TEHRAN, Iran - Iran on Sunday test-fired a sub-to-surface missile in the Persian Gulf during large-scale military exercises, state-run television reported.

"The army successfully test-fired a top speed long-range sub-to-surface missile off the Persian Gulf," the Army's Navy commander, Gen. Sajjad Kouchaki, said on state television.

A brief video clip showed the missile, fired from a submarine, hitting a target on the surface of the water within less than a mile.

The test came as part of large-scale military exercises under way throughout the country. Iran has routinely held war games over the past two decades to improve its combat readiness and to test equipment including missiles, tanks and armored personnel carriers.

1. blowback? or blowjo**...
:rofl:

BushCo isn't really in a position to blow anything but each other in their incestuous 'high-level' staff meetings. In case you missed it, we just sent more troops to Iraq, because things are getting much better now and there are fewer troops needed...and then there's little Israel over there in the corner pissing and moaning, and don't forget Afghanistan...or the fact that both Russia and China are supporting Iran in this little pre-fabricated fiasco, so attacking Iran will inevitably involve 'blowback' from those two countries.

I could be wrong, of course. I guess we'll see just how bat-shi* crazy this malicious administration really is.

2. I tested one of those in my bathtub this morning
An empty shampoo bottle full of air was successfully released from 20 centimeters below the surface
this morning and struck a bar of non-soap; another successful launch of a sub to surface missile,
something a nation needs when threatened by ruthless militant terrorists...

7. bubbles belie a bathtub fart
Floating upwards in glittering perfection,
the nose curdling stench of your lover's bowels,
farting in the bed secretly as if the toxic gas
does not give away the originator when passed
through a gas spectrometer.

:-o Certainly, a single buble launched can
empty the bathroom of all loved ones, without
moving butt a single divine muscle.
