Iran shows off might in military parade

TEHRAN, Iran - Threats and economic sanctions will not stop Iran’s technological progress, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned Saturday at a large parade of missiles and other weapons aimed at showing off the country’s military might.

The parade outside the capital Tehran marked the 27th anniversary of the Iraqi invasion of Iran that sparked the bloody 1980-88 war. It comes as the U.S. and its European allies continue discussing a third round of U.N. Security Council sanctions against Iran over its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment. It also comes days before the hard-line Iranian president is to address the U.N. General Assembly in New York.

Some of the trucks carrying Iranian missiles were painted at the back with popular slogans such as “Down with the U.S.” and “Down with Israel.”

Ahmadinejad, who is to appear at a forum at Columbia University in New York on Monday and address the General Assembly on Tuesday, also repeated his call for foreign forces to leave the region and urged the United States to acknowledge it has failed in Iraq.

Speaking of Ahmadinejad’s visit to Columbia University. Butch of 123beta has this to say.

Stop Ahmadinejad From Speaking At Columbia University

I’m definitely NOT against free speech - I’m just against little Hitler.
