Iran Mocks Obama’s 'Carrot/Stick' Diplomacy

President-Elect Barack Obama’s initial attempt to reason with the Iranian government on the issue of nuclear weaponry was disdained by Iran’s conservative parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani.

“I find Mr. Obama’s emphasis on phallic implements offensive and inane,” Larijani said. “There is nothing he can offer. There is no threat he can utter that will deter us from our holy mission to wipe the Jews off the map.”

Larijani scoffed at Obama’s so-called “nuclear umbrella” for Israel. “The Americans don’t have the stomach for death that we have in Iran,” Larijani boasted. “If they could prove that we are the ones responsible for the elimination of the Jewish infestation in Palestine, they wouldn’t have the guts to retaliate.”

Larijani said that “even the total destruction of my country would be a small price to pay for ridding the world of the Zionist plague. We saw the courage Hitler exhibited as the Zionist dupes closed in on and destroyed Germany. He did not spare one Jew he held within his power from extermination. If an infidel could remain so firm in the face of such odds, how much stronger are the forces of Islam?”

Re: ““The Americans don’t have the stomach for death that we have in Iran,” Larijani boasted. “

He well may be right about that.

The intended victims of their grand plans of extermination might, however, in the interest of self-preservation (Remember that “Never Again!” thing?) give them an abundant bellyfull of their desired “martyrdom”... hopefully before it’s too late to save the World from a nuclear holocaust that will probably spread far beyond the middle East.

Is anyone familiar with the “Sampson Option”?

NO ONE in the Middle East - or the rest of the World for that matter (in their right minds, that is; guess that pretty much excludes radical Islam...) - wants to see that go down!

I don’t know but we are told that there are a lot of really decent people over in Iran, and I believe it.
My sympathy and prayers are with them for what their despotic overlords may well be bringing down upon them in the name of their insane version of “religion”.

"Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. ... Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.

"I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate. ... And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you ... to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right. ... Gird your loins. We're gonna win with your help, God willing, we're gonna win, but this is not gonna be an easy ride....

"This guy has it. But he's gonna need your help. Because I promise you, you all are gonna be sitting here a year from now going, 'Oh, my God, why are they there in the polls? Why is the polling so down? Why is this thing so tough?' We're gonna have to make some incredibly tough decisions in the first two years. So I'm asking you now ... be prepared to stick with us. ... There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, 'Whoa, wait a minute, yo, whoa, whoa, I don't know about that decision.' Because if you think the decision is sound when they're made ... they're not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they're popular, they're probably not sound....

"I probably shouldn't have said all this because it dawned on me that the press is here."
