DUBAI: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said that the United States is incapable of launching a military strike against Iran but would "regret" an attack if it carried one out.
"America is today incapable of staging a military strike against Iran for several reasons," Ahmadinejad told Dubai-based Al-Arabiya news channel in an interview, according to an Arabic voice-over of his remarks in Farsi.
The ground is not prepared for a strike in either economic, political or military terms, he said.
"And of course, they know full well that the Iranian people's response (to any attack) will be harsh, and they will regret it," Ahmadinejad said on Friday.
"In practice, then, they do not want to launch a strike against Iran. They are agitating and applying pressure on (UN) Security Council members in order to deceive and extricate themselves from the impasse in which they are," he added.
US Democratic lawmakers on Friday warned the Bush administration was "beating the drums for war" with Iran, and vowed to wield constitutional powers to thwart any military strike.
Their comments came as US President George W Bush fired off a fresh warning that international pressure would grow on the Islamic Republic, unless Tehran agreed to suspend enriching uranium.
Washington accuses Tehran of using its nuclear programme as cover for a drive to develop an atomic bomb, a charge Iran strongly denies, saying it only wants to generate electricity.
We could still bomb the shite out of them no ground war
It seems we've heard that bravado several times before.
It's hard to tell which is a worse threat to our security: Ahmanutjob or those moronic, traitorous dems in Congress.
Works for me...
President Ahmanutjob is funnier than Redd Foxx, Bill Hicks and Dice Clay rolled into one!! One MIRV’d Trident missile from one SSBN (Nuclear missile submarine) would destroy all so-called civilization in Persia in an instant. No aircraft required. This guy is an engineer?! What the heck?
the traitors in congress
As long as I live, I’ll never forget watching Baghdad Bob declare that no US forces were in the city while US armour was moving in the background.
Ahmadinejad prays toward mecca 5 times a day in hopes the US elects a dem for prez in ‘08. If so, he’s safe for at least another 4 years.
Most definitely, if Obama is office! He already took nukes off the table... BEFORE he welcomed “discussions”. BAH!
The domestic Left is a far greater threat to this country , more so than all the Islamos, Russia, N. korea and China combined. bottom line.
I guess I have to admit... Choosing between nuking Imagonnajihad and nuking Congress... Damn.
Good thing we have more than one, then.
But you're right, he was fun to watch.
imo we won’t nuke anybody. don’t have the guts, insight, or whatever it takes. as far as congress goes, we can’t even vote the #astards out or make the newly elected listen.
Remember the “Iraqi Information Minister” website? You could type statements and a virtal Baghdad Bob would utter words in faux Arabic and your writing would appear as a subtitle at the bottom of the screen. That was tons of fun.
LOL - that was funny.
And all those nuclear submarines off the coast are just full of blanks?
imo they aren’t, but who’s gonna push the button? give the order? no leadership, no army, no government. imo. now what?
U better have u’re bunker ready if u really wanna survive.
