Hardly. Is this why we are supposed to accept Bush's lack of response as really "intelligent" instead? Nice try. Looks more like we're taking the threat seriously, same as we did in N Korea..and have decided to allow their nuclear status, since we do not have the stomach [politically!!] for real fights. [Our military of course could kick their ass gladly, but they will not be given the chance.]
Can they back up their threat? Yes, somewhat.
Somewhat? What does that mean? Propaganda, even on our side is still very obvious propaganda.
Will it bring down a rain of hellfire on their heads? Yes, somewhat.
This must be a joke.
The mullahs are in no position to take on the US militarily.
And you base that on what premise?? They wear diapers on their head?
When you hear the news that a few more carrier groups are heading to the gulf then you can figure game's on.
Wake me in the 23rd century so I can watch.
It*s my understanding that they have rebuilt their bunkers too far under ground for us to be able to penetrate them.
More evidence of superficial understanding. What bunkers? Storage of nuclear weapons? Research and development? Command and control? In all those cases, severing the access to ventilation, communication and access renders them useless. How long do you think they could function deaf, dumb, blind and hungry?
Are you always this rude to ladies? I admit that I don*t have all the answers, but it*s my right to have concerns about our troops. Get over yourself. Next time don*t act like such a jerk.
They've even gone so far as to design their new MBT, (the Zolfaqar), to match the silhouette of the M1 Abrams. They've known who they're going to be fighting for a long time.
Hey Iran, you fought Saddam for 10 years and got no where. We routed his entire military in 3 weeks. What was that you were saying again about attacking us?
I don't know. I thought I knew but I was obviously wrong. LOL!
If they hit US forces, they should be ready to take a few Daisy cutters over the nuke plant.
We have a lot of cool toys, yes. Any technology that saves our soldier's lives is worth the price.
My point is that they've been preparing to take us on for some time, and their MBT design reflects that.
So you have to ask yourself Punk, Are you feeling Lucky? Well, Do ya Punk?
Must be that the diaper on his head is as full of **it as he is.
Ulterior motive ping
They must be taking strategic manners lessons from North Korea.
We can certainly oblige.
Well they have said that if they had a nuclear bomb, Israel would cease to exist.
And now they have said that Israel and America are inseparable.
I don't think they've left us a lot of options.
I can walk !
The sad thing is the Iranian mullahs are nuts enough to attempt some kind of crap like this.
Calling Israel, Come in Israel.
Are these people nuts? That would seal their doom.
iraq was the perfect lauching pad for what's about to be done. weakened after two wars, it was a prime target. we're going to finish the job of flipping iraq over to the west to the extent turkey has been flipped, then train our sites on saudi arabia dividing that state into east and west. then all the crazies will be shipped out to the mecca medina west and the technocrats stay in the east where all the o&g is located. then we break the opec cartel, flood the world with cheap oil thereby bankrupting iran and russia (again). of course these countries are probably getting hip to this action and may decide to get froggie. russia is looking for iran to do some serious dirty work. should be interesting. if allah loves the arabs, he'll make sure the usa succeeds. otherwise, a bunch of dead arabs (and iranians) after the usa retaliates for whatever attack they throw our way.
breaking iran will also break syria and lebanon who depend on iran for support today.
