Successful popular uprisings are mostly fantasy anyway.
Iran's threshold for victory seems pretty low:
"America didn't kick our ass! We win! WE WIN!!"
Unfortunately.
It'll be an Iranian weapon delivered by terrorists.
Everyone will know it, but Iran will deny it.
Iran has thrown the gauntlet. Time to lock n load. These idiots understand nothing better than death. Time for these leaders to experience it first hand. They are playing the appologist EU and UN for all they are worth (ooooo big surprise). I just can't figure out who is stupider, the Iranians, or the Appeasers. Or is it the lava-lampman?
Smile for the birdie..........
all they need to do is wait a decade, all the while getting bennies for sitting on their reactors while threatening to restart them. Then hope for a DemocRAT victory in 2008 or 2012. See North Korea, Lessons Learned From the 90's - William J. Clinton, coming soon to Bamtam Books.
It seems that Iran is banking on the fact that the US has expended all of its international clout on the invasion of Iraq.
It's going to be a long year for Iran.
APf
Still, they should know better. Are they that stupid or, have we finally found a purpose for MSM?
Sounds like a case for the Mossad!
"This is a historical opportunity for Iran and Europe to prove to the world that unilateralism is condemned, that the world's most complicated matters can be solved by negotiation."
From the Iranians
"Despite the U.S. propaganda Iran has not relinquished its right to the (nuclear) fuel cycle and it never will do," said the cleric, who is secretary-general of Iran's top security body, the Supreme National Security Council.
"The length of the suspension will only be for the length of the negotiations with the Europeans and ... must be rational and not too long," Rohani said.
"We're talking about months, not years," he added.
Is it me, or are these people having a completely different conversation. The Iranians are stating quite clearly they are going to restart their program and the Europeans are refusing to acknowledge anything they say. I believe that the EU wants Iran to have some nukes in their ongoing effort to destabilize US foreign policy.
On Fox News yesterday, it was said that these gas centrifuges emit a huge amount of RF interference that whose signature can be detected and pinpointed from satellites. The guest on Fox said up to 12 centrifuges are up and operating simultaneously in various locations in Iran after the government there said they shut down enrichment as per the agreement with the EU. Iran just suckered the EU into providing more fuel to be used against them some time in the future! It also proved Iran is lying its @$$ off. Everyone known once they have nukes, they will use them, even if it means glorious martyrdom for all their citizens in a nuclear retaliation.
They should be concerned. The US doesn't mind having to shoulder the responsibility for the security of our friends and allies. They should be very concerned...
Unfortunately the mullahs now feel and talk as if they are on the saddle.
