I almost choked on my pipe from laughing so hard when I read this.

I remember the Khomeini era very well. He was truly evil and was the one who really did want to kill anyone anywhere who wasn't a devout Muslim. Now? A bunch of saber rattling.

which part are you laughing at?  The part where he says no one can threaten them or the part about the most advanced military equipment that can't fly in bad weather?      LOL     Larryj

Pretty much the whole thing.  This guy reminds me of a cockroach that when you turn on the light just stands there waving his arms and threatening you.  But like all roaches, just needs to be stepped on.

Unfortunately, this is one roach who either is close to having or already has the same capability that N. Korea seeks or already has...And we can't afford to allow dizzy third world radicals to have that kind of power.

Apparently there is no word in the Iranian language for R-E-T-A-L-I-A-T-I-O-N.  No nation will threaten him because its a waste of good oxygen.     Larryj

Sure they are, they're going to bow down, kowtow, roll over and go belly up to him, just like they have to everyother 3rd world wannabe.  Just look at their response to N. Korea...,"Don't you dare make another rocket, or we will be forced to say Don't you dare make another rocket again."

What did Bush and Rice do about the Iran situation?

Billy what do you call going belly up? I thought the recent pirate thing was a good lesson to the world on what we will do when the circumstances are right.

For start, the Gitmo closings, the torture thing, the helping mexico secure its southern border while ignoring our own, accusing americans of suppling 90% of "illegal" weapons to mexcian drug cartels, not going after threats to our country (i.e. N. Korea, iran, terrorists). As for the pirate thing, yes, we did kill three and brought one back to NY for trial.  At that rate we just might be getting somewhere in 20 to 30 years.

We can only go after the ones in International waters that are obstructing American ships.  Anything else is aggression, something that the U.S. has always been against.

I have several piecemeal comments; I am thinking about my full response to this since I feel it is an important topic.

The Iranian language is Farsi.

The IranianPrez.. who I call Imadinnerjacketjohn is on the way out as leader of Iran. (Hey the weather is great here and I am too lazy to look up the correct way to spell it)

Iran is a much tougher fight than Iraq and Afghansistan who we are having a hard time resolving conflict with as it is. A war with Iran would be much harder. While his statement is bravado we should not underestimate their capability. They are a well educated society and their nuclear threat is increasing daily.

More later on this topic, but it is just too nice out to sit and type on the computer.

Thank you, Diane. I just got hit in the shoulder for the third time for being on the computer. Apparently, I am expected to pay more attention to a beautiful redhead in a bikini than political discussion. Bye for now.

The way I see it, if pirates go after one of our ships, then they are fair game no matter where they are hiding. 

David, the problem in iraq and afghaistan is that we are not fighting a traditional war, we are fighting terrorists, querrila fighters.  When we went into iraq to overthrow saddam it wasn't much of a fight, iran wouldn't be much different.  It is because of their nuclear threat that we should go after them before they actually have a nuke.
