Could We Beam Broadband Internet Into Iran?
abenamer writes "Some reporter at a recent White House press briefing just asked the White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, this question: Was 'the White House....considering beaming broad capability into Iran via satellite so the opposition forces would be able to communicate with themselves and the outside world?' 'Gibbs said he didn't know such a thing was possible. (Is it?) But he said he would check on the technological feasibility and get back with an answer.' I'm not sure what the reporter meant by beaming broadband into Iran: Do they even have 3G? Would we bomb the Iranians with SIM cards that would allow them to get text messages from the VOA? Or somehow put up massive Wi-Fi transmitters from Iraq and beam it into Iran? How would you beam broadband into Iran?"
I'm for letting the world get a good dose of mullah rule without any 'help' from us. They'll hate the west if we get involved, if we don't, if we caused the problem or if we're blameless. Enjoy living at the pleasure of your preferred priests. It makes good TV sometimes.
Keep in mind that the day your priesthood detonates its first test nuke you and yours go on the nuclear counterstrike target lists of the US, UK, France and Israel. Right up near the top. Good luck with that sons of Cyrus.
Allah Akbar!
Are you really telling me you don't see a good reason to provide an unfiltered communication capability to Iran given its current situation?
What situation is that... a bunch of foreigners who failed to buy the election so they're funding a campaign of misinformation and corruption to overthrow a democratically elected government, enslave it's people and pillage their wealth?

Do you mind? It's just taken us 8 years to get a fossilised dinosaur out of the Oval Office....
Kind of like a bunch of liberals electing a new president who turns out to be the same as the guy they spent 8 years hating.
Interesting what the outlook of the Germans is. T-Mobile is all over it. Info found here.

sorry. its just not that often i see someone so stupid.
Plus GobalHawks don't have families so if they shoot it down nobody dies which is a big plus.
Which means we can fly them over Iranian airspace without causing too big of a stink.
This is my sig.
