Wonder if this happened because of the technology Iran got from the Chinese, who got it from the Clinton Administration

The Obama administration's foreign policy has consisted of apologising for the US-for-exisitng to our stated and sworn enemies, insulting our friends England and Israel, allowing Mexico to dictate our immigration policy while snubbing Canadian support for our own energy, supporting and funding Brazilian off-shore drilling (Geo. Soros investment) and preventing all American drilling, supporting the anti-west Muslim Brotherhood over pro-west Mubarak in Egypt, calling for the overthrow of Qaddafi only after France, Italy and England supported the rebellion, and only after he thought it looked politically beneficial to Obama (without Congressional approval) bombing parts of Libya would take a month only. Doing nothing in Syria, hoping the UN would, so Obama could take credit.
So now what has he wrought, the Middle East is firmly in the hands of the Muslim brotherhood and Hamas, all enemies surrounding Israel and all anti-American. Oh yes, Obama gave approval to the Navy Seals to kill Obama bin Laden... Osama Obama ... Osama bin Laden. This was the Bush policy he followed (and for once did not blame Bush or give him credit) and is now putting it out front as his major foreign policy achievement. ♘

And now this, not to mention the Ostrich style policy in dealing with the Iranian A-bomb. ♘

News from The Associated Press (who never know what year it is)

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iran successfully launched a new small satellite into orbit early Friday, state media reported, the latest in the country's ambitious space program that has raised concerns in the West because of its possible military applications.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called in to the launch site, saying he was "hopeful this act will send a signal of more friendship among all human beings," the official IRNA news agency reported.

IRNA said the domestically-made satellite, Navid, or Gospel, was designed to collect data on weather conditions and monitor for natural disasters.

It said the satellite weighs about 110 pounds (50 kilograms) and would orbit Earth at an altitude of up to 234 miles (375 kilometers), circling the planet 15 times a day. It's of a type known as miniaturized or microsatellites, which are cheaper to produce and allow for less costly launch vehicles. ...

[In a 'gee they can't do that, it's against the UN rule' moment.]
In Washington, a State Department official said the technology used in the Safir rocket was "critical" to the development of a long-range ballistic missile and that its use violated a 2010 U.N. resolution prohibiting Iran from conducting launches using ballistic missile technology.
