TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran on Saturday warned the West of the "serious consequences" of launching any attack against the Islamic republic after showing off a new longer-range missile in public for the first time.

"Military aggression against Iran is no longer a case of 'you hit and you run away,'" said supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. "Anyone who launches an aggression will seriously suffer the consequences of this aggression.

Sound familiar?

BAGHDAD (AP) - Saddam Hussein, in remarks televised Wednesday, said Iraq “has huge capabilities” and is ready to face a U.S. attack, “destroy it and defeat it.” A senior Baghdad official condemned U.S. President George W. Bush’s state of the union speech, saying it was filled with “cheap lies.”

“When faced with an attack, we always put in our calculation the worst case scenario and we build our tactics on that,” Saddam told military commanders. “We know that they are coming with large forces of infantry and armoured units to storm our defensive positions. But we will absorb the momentum of the attack, destroy it and defeat it.”

Iran’s greatest threat is that it will conduct missile strikes against the huge Saudi oil refineries which process their oil. Without those refineries to remove the impurities, Saudi oil is useless to us, even if we can keep the Straits of Hormuz open. That’s why the Saudis have announced plans to hire tens of thousands of guards to protect their oil facilities from terrorist attack. Guards won’t stop ballisic missiles, though.

I still think we need to bomb Iran, but no one should be deceived about the economic risks we face if we do.

My comments from another thread:

Iran fought Iraq for something like 10 years and couldn’t win. We kicked Saddm’s buttocks in about 20 min. and this asshat thanks he can defeat us! Pure chutzpa.

And now we have a body of troops that are battle hardened and battle savvy.

We had similar restrictions in Nam, however we were not burdened with “imbedded” news folks, so things just sorta took care of themselves.

Get rid of the “imbeds” and things would be different. Fewer troop deaths and more bad guys looking for their 72 virgins.

The blood of Americans will flood the streets if America attacks Iran. The 12th Immam will arise to fart thunder and lightning on the Great Satan......blah blah blah.

Ahmanutjob is attending the UN to deliver an ultimatum to the USA, "become Muslims or we will destroy you,"...( this is sure to cow every liberal POS in Congress and the CIA.)

I think Dubyah is playing rope a dope with Ahmanutjob. Iran's ultimatum to the USA, as an Axis of Islamofascism, has become the vehicle by which the US public will become informed about Irans plans of world conquest to form a World Caliphate ( Inshallah.....sarc.). Already liberal institutions are fawning over Ahmanutjob, licking his hands like the dogs they are. Averrage Americans will look on in horror as they begin to see liberals as the treasonous touts they really are.

It smacks of Karl Rove.

I can hardly wait to see what Senator Leiberman has to say about Ahmanutjob Ahminajihad.

So shall we separate the quick from the dead.

My son had a Koran here at home. I burned it in our trash barrel incinerator. We should pile up a large collection of Korans and burn them for Ahmanutjob when he visits ground zero.

I just had a very spooky image of waking up in the near future, to find out that much of Tehran...no longer exists.

Of seeing sattelite photos of What’s left of Tehran, with
huge craters where blocks and blocks of buildings used to be.
Like arial photos from Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Seeing news coverage of other sites around Iran also
cratered and spewing clouds of smoke that must be visible for dozens of miles away.

We need someone to look ARAB , take a Koran.
Smear it with bacon , put some slices inside.
Get to Ahimanutjob and ask him to bless it.
Hand it to him and ask him to kiss it.
Then show him the grease on it and the slabs inside.
On video of course.

This old thread has some interesting info on Iran and Al Qaeda, just a reminder. Also, Kenneth Timmerman reports in his book, Countdown to Crisis, that even years ago bin Laden is one of the few who can phone and talk directly to Khamenei

That's not very likely, at all. Perhaps there might be an attack on some facilities, but not the wiping out of the country and/or any of its large cities. The "wiping out" of a country and its capital is something that is reserved for Syria, not Iran. Iran is scheduled to do an invasion of Israel, along with Russia, in the near future, so it will still be around. Syria won't, however, be around, for that.

Hal Lindsey on the destruction of Syria by Israel

Damascus is the oldest continually inhabited city on earth. Although conquered many times, its status as an economic and cultural center of antiquity preserved it intact to this day.

But Isaiah predicted Damascus would one day face utter destruction: "Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city and it will become a fallen ruin," he writes in Isaiah 17:1.

The prophet also predicts Damascus' destruction will come at a time when "the glory of Jacob" had begun to fade (verse 4), at a time when Israel is in great peril of being "shaken like an olive tree," leaving only a few "on the topmost bough."

Isaiah prophesies that, when Damascus' destruction comes, there will be "an uproar of many peoples" and "the rumbling of nations" but that they will flee at God's rebuke.

It seems clear from recent events that Syria is preparing chemical and biological weapons, and possibly some form of nuclear weapon for use in some future war against Israel. Syria and Iran have been outfitting Hezbollah with the latest in offensive weaponry since the war of June 2006.

Israel is unlikely to sit back and wait for a first-use chemical or gas attack from Damascus. Neither is it likely to wait until Ahmadinejad can use Syria to flank them in the event of conflict with Iran. So the number of Israeli raids against Syrian targets is likely to escalate until either Israel has destroyed the threat or Syria responds militarily. If Syria attacks with weapons of mass destruction, it can expect a massive, in-kind Israeli response.

Bible prophecy doesn't make allowances for a full-scale unconventional war of annihilation of Israel by Iran, however. Ezekiel predicts Iran's participation of the Gog-Magog invasion as part of a Russian-led alliance, not a regional alliance with Syria. Both Iran and Israel are listed as participants in that future conflict.

But Syria isn't.

Syria isn't numbered among any of the various protagonists prophesied to participate in the conflicts of the last days.

Isaiah describes the destruction of Damascus in much the same terms that would be used today to describe the effects of all-out, no-holds-barred Israeli retaliatory strike against a Syrian gas attack.

"At evening time, behold, there is terror! Before morning, they are no more" (Isaiah 17:13-14).

These events in Syria are going to be the "lead-up" to the destruction of Syria by Israel, as the Bible has told us. Look for this to come about directly. Iran and the Russian confederation will come afterwards.
