Iranian President says "wise" Americans will bar any attack (Barf Alert)

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday he did not expect a U.S. attack on Iran because there were plenty of "wise people" in the United States who would not let it happen.

Iran and the United States are at loggerheads over Tehran's nuclear program, which Washington says is a cover for making bombs, and over Iraq, where U.S. officials say Iran is fuelling sectarian violence. Tehran denies both charges.

Washington says it wants to solve the nuclear standoff by diplomacy but has not ruled out strikes if that fails.

"They are not in a position to carry out that measure although they may like to ... because there are many wise people in America who will not let this happen," the president said in an interview on Iranian television.

The United States has sent a second aircraft carrier to the Gulf, a move analysts interpreted as a warning to Iran. U.S. officials say the step was taken to increase operational flexibility and to provide deterrence in the region.

Good I wish I could see the look on his face when he craps his pants.

It sounds to me like he is whistling through the graveyard.

He's just hoping for Hillary in 2008 because she's just the fool he is looking for. He's only openly vocalized what he wants to do with those weapons! Now all we need is to commit suicide with a Hillary presidency.

Wonder if his last words might be,"Wise Americans would never attack me." Then the cruise missle detonates.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday he did not expect a U.S. attack on Iran because there were plenty of 'wise people'..."

===

OPINION: You know Ahmadinejad, you have a good point. There are a lot of wise people IN IRAN. I think they see right through you. I think they have sized you up. I think they see a person that they don't like.

What are these "wise people" going to do with you?

I don't know, but I think the good and "wise people" of Iran have a plan -- for you.

Time will tell.

Yep , he must be talking about Democrats and a few spineless Republicans like Chuck Hagel.

Apparently he knows so very little about our country and our Constitution. The President can order up attacks on Iran any time he wants. He is the Commander-in-Chief, the last time I looked. And better now than later when Iran might really have nuclear bombs and be able to deliver them. Seems to me now is the best time, (though there is never a good time), to get the job done. It would strictly be an air war with ship to shore deliveries as well. No on the ground troops. At least that's how I see it. Feel free to take a swipe at my elementary thinking.

Jim Webb to the contrary notwithstanding, retreat is not "wise", Monkey Boy.

Substitute obstructionists for "wise people" and, unfortunately, this century's answer to Adolf Hitler may be correct.
