Iran, ahead of deadline, says will resist foes

TEHRAN - Iran's president said on Friday the Islamic Republic would "stand against" its enemies with its "power," speaking just before a deadline set by Western officials in a dispute over Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
Western powers gave Iran two weeks from July 19 to respond to their offer to hold off on imposing more U.N. sanctions on Iran if Tehran would freeze any expansion of its nuclear work.
That would suggest a deadline of Saturday, although Russia, one of the six powers facing Iran, has opposed a deadline and Iran dismissed the idea of having two-weeks to reply.
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the nuclear issue was just an excuse for the country's foes.
"The main reason for their enmity with this nation in the past 30 years is that they want to force the Iranian nation to retreat," the state broadcaster quoted him as saying, without mentioning any country by name.
"Whenever the enemies have failed against this nation they have tried to make excuses, but the Iranian nation will stand against them with its power," Ahmadinejad said, without elaborating.

The newly self-appointed Robama Hood knows that the real enemies are EXXON, Shell Oil, Chevron, Conoco-Phillips, BP, et al.
Of course Obama doesn't have, and will not have- should he ever hold office- the guts nor the brains to deal with Iran and it's axis of evil allies.
Besides, this issue isn't Obama's to deal with anyways, -it's Bushes' and he had best deal with it NOW !
There isn't any time left to waste hoping that it will become someone else's problem.
Take out Iran's nukes NOW Bush! before 'Themadihadist' takes out millions of lives in an infantile show of power, and his delusion of being the one chosen to usher in the hidden Imam of retarded Shia folklore.
Gee, think we'll wake up to news that all Iranian ports have been blockaded?
