Iranian President Caught in a Lie

This is what he says:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad insisted Thursday that Tehran's nuclear program is peaceful and said he is "at a loss" about what more he can do to provide guarantees. "The bottom line is we do not need a bomb," he said at a news conference on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly. "The time for nuclear bombs has ended," he added.

This is what they do:

Iran successfully test-fired a missile that can avoid radar and hit several targets simultaneously using multiple warheads, the military said Friday.

The Fajr-3, which means "Victory" in Farsi, can reach Israel and US bases in the Middle East, state Iranian media indicated - causing alarm in the United States and Israel. The announcement also is likely to stoke regional tensions and feed suspicion about Tehran's military intentions and nuclear ambitions.

MIRVs--multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles--were developed in the 1960s with one goal in mind, the delivery of multiple nuclear warheads from an intercontinental ballistic missile. Only recently has the United States become the first nation to consider converting MIRVs into non-nuclear weapons systems.

The Fajr-3 mentioned in the article above is designed and tested with a MIRV that carries three warheads. Israel can be effectively "wiped off the map" as Ahmadinejad has promised, with just two nuclear warheads.

Iran says it does not want nuclear weapons, yet it develops and tests nuclear-capable missile systems while continuing to try to hide its nuclear program.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the apocalyptic, holocaust-denying "pocket Hitler" of Tehran, has been caught lying again.

They also just opened up their heavy water reactor. That'll probably get'em bomb materiel faster than the centrifuges.
