Addressing hundreds of worshipers at Tehran University, Jannati reiterated, "The letter is spectacular, and when I say it is an inspiration from God, I really believe in it." The Friday preacher of Tehran added...

There is something about the word "spectacular" that gives me the heebee jeebees: Earlier today, I was reading from Ken Timmerman's book (Countdown to Crisis, the Coming Nuclear Showdown with Iran), and saw on p. 23 this quote, 4 weeks prior to the Beirut Marine Baracks attack, from an NSA intercept from Iranian intelligence, in Tehran, to the Iranian Ambassador to Syria in Damascus:"contact.... the leader of Islamic Amal, and instruct him ... 'to take a spectacular action against the United States Marines."

I do hope that this is just a coincidental choice of words, but given the fact that the one making this comment is an ayatollah and he's stating that Ahmadenijhad's words are "inspired by allah", meaning that allah is speaking through this maniac, this can only lead to causing the Iranian president's psychotic ego-maniacal behavior to be reinforced and encouraged.

IMO, we had better treat his comments as a threat and prepare our response accordingly, and then if nothing comes of it, no harm has been done. However, I see many who want to just write him off as just another bluffing looney. They do so at this country's expense. I prefer to never underestimate my enemy.
