It's happening yet again. Another "Weapons of Mass Destruction" lie is covering the airwaves of media outlets around the world. And just as with Iraq's so-called weapons program, it is proven to be just a lie with no basis of fact. The world's Superpowers have it in for Iran and will do whatever it takes for them to get what they want: military action against Iran.
The missiles will fly from Israel, and in response, missiles will fly into Israel, allowing Israel to gain images and casualties it needs to "prove" to the world that Iran wishes to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.

SHARIF ABDEL KOUDDOUS: Iran test-fired two long-range missiles Monday, just days before Iranian officials are due to meet with the five permanent members of the Security Council and Germany to discuss a range of issues, including its nuclear program. Western powers condemned the Iranian test as provocative and deeply destabilizing.
Iranian officials said the missiles were tested as part of an annual military drill and bore, quote, no connection whatsoever with the nuclear program.
Monday's missile tests follow Iran's disclosure last week of a second uranium enrichment plant. On Friday morning, President Obama, along with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, accused Iran of building a secret nuclear fuel plant.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Good morning. We are here to announce that yesterday in Vienna, the United States, the United Kingdom and France presented detailed evidence to the IAEA demonstrating that the Islamic Republic of Iran has been building a covert uranium enrichment facility near Qom for several years.
SHARIF ABDEL KOUDDOUS: French President Sarkozy warned that Europe and the United States would tighten sanctions against Iran unless it halted its nuclear program.
PRESIDENT NICOLAS SARKOZY: [translated] Everything must be put on the table now. We cannot let the Iranian leaders gain time while the motors are running. If, by December, there is not an in-depth change by the Iranian leaders, sanctions will have to be taken.
SHARIF ABDEL KOUDDOUS: Iran, however, refuted Western fears and said its nuclear activities are purely peaceful. This is Iranian delegate Mansour Salsabili addressing the UN General Assembly Saturday.
