Just too funny.

How pathetic. Iran's only airborne warning and control system (AWACS) collided with one of its own escort planes. Isn't its purpose to control those other planes?

Whoever arranged this accident was a master. Not only does an AWACS (their only one) crash into one of its own escorts at an important ceremony for Ahmadinejad but the flaming planes then crash on top of Khomeini's mausoleum.

Eye witnesses reported that the flaming planes landed on the mausoleum burial site of the Islamic revolution's founder Ruhollah Khomeini, a national shrine.

And Ahmadinejad actually got on a plane just after witnessing that. I wonder what was going through his mind - is this going to be my last flight?

The loss of this airborne control system has left Iran's air force and air and missile defenses without "electronic eyes" for surveillance of the skies around its borders.

How handy.

It is just one of God's way of saying the muslim fanatics have perverted his word.

That is a harbinger or microcosm of Iran's fate if they don't straighten out.

Did anyone listen closely to what Netanyahu said in his speech at the UN?

I'm paraphrasing: "The Nazis exterminated one third of the world's Jewish population... The Nazis bombed London. .... The Allies leveled German cities. I'm not defending this; I'm stating it as a fact. The bombing of German cities was the result of decisions made by great and thoughtful men."

Does that sound like a hint to you??? It hit me like a ton of bricks.
