Iran missile test a deception...

Maybe this is why it's not exactly a bright idea to engage in direct talks with a regime that cannot be trusted, and does a pretty poor job with Photoshop too!

Iran tried to deceive world by 'testing' old missiles, US experts believe

Iran attempted to deceive the world with last week's high-profile weapons test by claiming that a 10-year-old missile was a new, longer-range version capable of striking Israel, US intelligence officials and independent analysts believe.

Analysis of Iranian television coverage has also indicated that one of the weapons actually remained on the ground but the video was doctored in an effort to cover up the failure.

The tests were the latest escalation in muscle-flexing between Iran and Israel as the threat of war grows over the Islamic regime's nuclear ambitions.

Ehud Barak, the Israeli defence minister, is to urge the Bush administration to adopt a tougher line against Iran and will try to persuade the American public of the need for military action during a three-day visit to Washington this week, a former top adviser said.

Bush leaves office, she said...

What a load of crap!

Ok...for starters its called wolf control . The killing of wolves either via the air or the more traditional ways saves moose and caribou which is the intent. And also Alaskans rely on deer, moose, caribou and other wildlife for food . These dumb asses would rather have you believe that Palin is hanging out the side of the helicopter screaming in hysterical joy while she slaughters these poor defenseless wolves. And isn't that really the point anyway.
