Wishful thinking.
Ahmadinejad is saying !@#$% stuff like that, but I haven’t seen anything on the Defense.gov nor the main-stream media stating that.
Propaganda from anti-Americans...and the beat goes on.

This guy is the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, not some renegade, obscure military figure. He is the Russian equivalent of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
As if our ‘bower in Chief’ would so anything to slow down his ‘soul brother’ Mahmoud from getting nukes.

Yeah, I'm sure that happened.
Under BO’s “Rules Of Engagement” we can’t attack Iran unless they attack us first and only if they meant to attack.
Ok, here’s what Mullen really said here:

Mullen: Iran’s Goal to Further Enrich Uranium ‘Destabilizing’
By John J. Kruzel American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16, 2010 – The top U.S. military officer criticized Iran’s recent announcement that it would increase levels of uranium enrichment to 20 percent, saying the move further destabilizes the Middle East.
The remarks by Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, came after the government in Tehran reportedly vowed on Feb. 9 to produce uranium at higher levels, fueling fears it would move Iran a step closer to obtaining nuclear weaponry.
“The Iranian announcement a couple of days ago is of concern to all of us,” Mullen told reporters on Feb. 14 in Tel Aviv, Israel. “I think Iran needs to make strategic moves which help stabilize the region, and in fact, they continue to make moves which further destabilize the region, which is what happened the other day with this announcement.”
Tehran has stated its nuclear pursuit is toward peaceful ends, saying the more highly enriched uranium would produce fuel to power medical equipment. But many international observers believe that Iran wants to obtain a nuclear weapon.
President Barack Obama has repeatedly called on Tehran to provide assurances to the international community that its nuclear program is peaceful and transparent, a request backed by the five permanent U.N. Security Council members — Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States — plus Germany. But Iran continues to ignore demands by these so-called P5-plus-1 nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog organization.
“An awful lot of people [are focused] on Iran and the announcement the other day that they’ve increased the level of enrichment in what I would call a pretty public and defiant way,” Mullen said in a Feb. 14 interview with McClatchy Newspapers.
Mullen, during a trip through the Middle East, said the Iranian government’s announcement presented an opportunity to reinforce engagement with Iran. He characterized the U.S. as working from “the diplomatic and engagement and sanctions point of view,” and added that tougher sanctions were being discussed.
Speaking to reporters in Tel Aviv, Mullen declined to identify at what point Tehran’s nuclear ambitions might prompt military action. But he warned against the prospect of war with Iran.
“I think them getting a weapon and/or the outbreak of a conflict would be a big, big problem for all of us,” he said, “and I worry a great deal about the unintended consequences of a strike.”
But the chairman repeatedly has refused to rule out any options in dealing with Iran, which appears to be extending its reach in the Middle East.
Mullen said Iranian influence appears to be growing in Yemen, where Tehran reportedly is backing the Shiite Houthi clan engaged in a civil war against the Saudi-backed Sunni government in Yemen. Iran also reportedly has contacts with Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
“Their reach into Lebanon, their reach into Gaza and throughout the region – their reach into Yemen,” he told reporters in Cairo, “I think all those things may continue to foment a lot of instability, which is very dangerous for all of us.”

I guess Russian general is as dumb as a sack of rocks. The only thing obaminations will attack is the United States and it’s Constitution.
My cats have spilled a Yahtzee game on the floor and have spelled out the date America attacks Iran.
Let’s cover Israel’s response to the Iranian propaganda, too.

“War of words: Ahmadinejad, Netanyahu, Clinton”
By AUSTIN KNUPPE
February 16, 2010 10:08 PM
SNIPPET: “In another bout of saber rattling, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced that Israel is planning on starting a war as early as this spring, according to a secret source secured by Tehran. “According to information we have they [Israel] are seeking to start a war next spring or summer, although their decision is not final yet,” Ahmadinejad said, “But the resistance and regional states will finish them if this fake regime does anything again.”
This announcement comes on the heels of a similar comment Ahmadinejad made to Syrian President Bashar Assad last Wednesday. Quoting another unnamed source, he told Assad: “We have reliable information...that the Zionist regime is after finding a way to compensate for its ridiculous defeats by the people of Gaza and Lebanon’s Hezbollah.” Ahmadinejad stressed that “[i]f the Zionist regime repeats its mistakes and initiate a military operation, then it must be resisted with full force to put an end to it once and for all.”
During a trip this week to Moscow to meet with Dmitry Medvedev and Vladimir Putin, Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu responded to Tehran’s war of words. In a press conference after a closed-door meeting, Netanyahu stated, “Israel is not planning any war, and continued Iranian claims to the contrary reflect Iranian concerns stemming from growing talks about international sanctions.” Netanyahu’s visit to Moscow is essential in the diplomatic effort to garner support for a new round of “sanctions with teeth.” Israel is also lobbying the Russians to cancel their arms sale to the Islamic Republic, which includes the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system.”
They have plans to invade most countries if needed.
I’m sooo glad we have a strong decisive leader in the WH.
This may be one or both of two things:
1) Hey Ahmadinenutjob, you better be nice to us Russians and buy a lot of our military stuff, because the US is coming for you.
and/or
2) Hey Ahmadinenutjob, you should let us nice Russians do your nuke processing (for a fee) so the US won’t attack you.
Either way it is a marketing ploy by Russia’s military industry.
Don’t forget Clinton joined the war in the Balkans to get votes. Never, ever, underestimate the depravity of a RAT.
Given the history of Iran and the USA it stands to reason that the US would have plans to attack Iran. IMO, the plan should have been executed 30 years ago when Iran committed an act of war against the USA.....
It would never happen under this administration. That’s what makes it such a stupid comment.
Of course we have plans to do so. They are “contingency plans” and have been around since the 70’s / 80’s 8and possibly earlier ....
