Just In Case You Forgot
Iran is still busily pursuing nuclear weapons. And Mad Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has absolutely no respect for - or fear of - the UN Security Council.
"It is most embarrassing that the U.N Security Council, which should be the defender of nations' security and rights, threatens countries pursuing nuclear fuel under the law to provide fuel for peaceful purposes," Ahmadinejad said.
Addressing the seventh conference of the general assembly of the Asian Parliaments Association for Peace, Ahmadinejad criticized the U.N. for applying a double standard, noting that "countries, armed with nuclear weapons, deny the rights of other countries to produce nuclear fuel and exploit it for peaceful purposes."
Ahmadinejad made the comments following the meeting Saturday in Moscow between Iran's top nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Unfortunately, he is also not all that worried about the United States since he's cheering the election results and sending drones on overflights of US warships.
The television's anchor said the film, the property of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard, showed a vessel from "the US fleet in the Persian Gulf".
"A source in the Revolutionary Guard said the drone carried out its mission without US fighter pilots reaching it," the television said.
It said there were 10 such films taken by the drone which showed "more precise information and details about military equipment, foreign forces, and their activities in the Persian Gulf."
The station did not name the vessel nor did it say when the footage was shot.
UPDATE: Lawhawk from A Blog For All pointed, in comments, to this Confederate Yankee post that casts serious doubts on the Iranian claims.

Don’t worry about those Iranians. Or Iraq, or Korea, or anything.
The Dems will solve it all - they’ll make friends, so just forget about it, stop reading the news, have a beer or two, and get ready to get some nice freebies from the Dems to make your life easier: Free plasma TVs for all!
Don’t worry - be happy!

We have to deal with the Iranians. The American public said “NO” any more regime changing and if Israel attacks Iran, they don’t have the troops to occupy it and we don’t have the troops to occupy it. Iran’s influence is going to grow and we will need their cooperation.

Tell us Arlo how do you cooperate with regimes which wish to destroy you. Are you a typical Neville Chamberlain Leftist who will throw Israel to the wolves just to be able to declare ‘peace in our time’?
Arlo you don’t deserve to live in freedom.

Which countries has Iran invaded? Next to Israel, the Iranians are peaceniks.

Hizbullah is Iran’s proxy army - and they’re anything but peaceful. You forget the tanker war fought between Iran and the US. And the mad mullahs have never been held to account for their invasion of the US embassy in 1979.
Then, there’s the tiny fact that the so-called overflight video might be bogus.
