This from a country that is half Iranian, with the other half hating Iranians?

If this guy is watching the Senate right now...he would be SURE that he is right.

TOO many of our politicians are acting like paper tigers.

"Iran could quickly transfer the Natanz site to some desert, so that even if the entire world invades Iran, they might not find it." Like Iraq? Kerry et.al. take note!

The following are excerpts from an interview with Iranian Expediency Council Secretary Mohsen Rezai, which aired on Iranian Channel 2 on June 8, 2006.

Is this like the Iranian version of the Comedy Channel?

Because Rezai's stand up routine is a laugh riot.

Yet those politicians are supported by a sissified citizenry who have elected them decade upon decade.

Sad.

If I were sitting in the-earthquake-is-gonna-happen-again soon-IRAN, I might refrain from using the "Tremor" analogy.

America is Like a Paper Tiger

This was a scene in the original "Naked Gun"..all the world's bad guys are meeting in Beirut..and "Khomeini" guy addresses them all that "America is weak..like a Paper Tiger" and Leslie Nielsen is in disguise as a server as he shakes his hands while pouring the tea and then suddenly rips his hood off and reveals himself and beats up the bad guys..great stuff..

Kind of like us - with half Americans and the other half hating America?

For a second, I thought this was an interview with John (who?) Kerry and Mr. M.

"If Iran goes underground with its nuclear activities, the entire world will curse America, and say: 'What have you done? You have made the region unsafe, and achieved nothing.'"

This sounds like a familiar strategy...

He could ask Saddamn until he gets tucked in for his dirt nap.

If he wants to go the Ouija board route there are others who thought the US was a paper tiger right up to the time we dragged their sorry butts out of the rubble.
