The Long Arm of Iran

The top mullahs have been complicit in terror attacks.

"I think it would be almost inconceivable that Iran would commit suicide by launching one or two missiles of any kind against the nation of Israel." --Jimmy Carter, Sept. 19, 2007

On March 17, 1992, a suicide bomber crashed an explosive-filled truck into a building filled with Israelis in Buenos Aires. The bombing was so powerful that the destruction covered several city blocks--29 innocents were killed and hundreds more were injured. This occurred more than 8,000 miles from Tehran. Two years later, on July 18, 1994, Buenos Aires was again hit with a terror attack. This time the target was the Jewish community center in the center of the city--85 were killed.

Argentina has issued warrants for nine Hezbollah operatives and Iranian leaders, including Mr. Rafsanjani. Nobody has been arrested.

-Excerpt-

Mr. Rafasanjani continues to be described in the Western media as a leading Iranian "moderate." If Mr. Toma is correct, this "moderate" was intimately involved in the planning of the Argentina bombings. And he has ambitions to succeed President Ahmadinejad.

-excerpt- ... the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei authorized the Buenos Aires attacks. This is important because many analysts today argue that, as scary as President Ahmadinejad sounds, he is not really in charge in Tehran--the true "decider" is the Supreme Leader. Well if he is, then we should in fact be doubly concerned.

-excerpt-

... the Argentinean case demonstrates what Tehran was willing and able to do when it had no nuclear umbrella. If, as the 9/11 Commission Report argues, the U.S. suffered from a "failure of imagination" regarding how far terrorists would go, a nuclear Iran risks encouraging the terrorist imagination to take another quantum leap.

The MSM has gone from calling Rafasanjani a “ pragmatic conservative” to a moderate.
He is neither.
He is just as dangerous and deadly as the Supreme Leader or Ahmadinejad.
NO DIFFERENCE.

The mullahs are not restrained by logic or mutual assured destruction. The only thing that will put an end to their apocalyptic fantasies of global Armageddon is to ensure they never acquire the means to realize them.

“In spite of what the West would like to believe, Ahmadinejad and his allies from Ramallah to Waziristan, from Gaza to Kandahar to Baghdad, are not negotiating. They are fighting.”

This is why negotiating their nukes or even destroying the regime’s nukes, isn’t enough. We must get rid of the regime.

Anything, A N Y T H I N G, that Jimmy Carter doubts will happen automatically increases the likelihood it will happen. The man has never been right in his life.
