US Gearing Up For Iran Engagement
Environmental Republican ^ | 2/1/10 | Scott

Iran is still acting froggy and even threatened today to cure us of our arrogance. Despite the repeated admonishments from the UN backed by threats of a fierce wrist slapping and bed without dinner, Ahmadinejad seems poised to take his nation over the edge.

The US Navy has moved anti-missile assets into the Arabian Gulf and placed ground-based Patriots in several nations to fend off a missile attack should the Islamic Republic act on their threats and start a regional war no one wants.

Time to gear up. I recall when I was in the Navy and we were surrounded by Iranian gunboats. Had them in the sites of a .50 cal and was ordered to stand down...pity.

Meanwhile, state-run Press TV quoted Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday as saying that the nation will deliver a harsh blow to “global arrogance” on February 11.

Press TV offered no details on or explanation of the statement.

There will be no US-Iran engagement other than via additional meaningless, weak sanctions and “dialogue.”

I am near tempted to wager that Iran develops/acquires nuclear weapons capabilities before Jack Squat ends his tenure as POTUS.

I will raise you two buttons and three fig seeds. I bet they have the technology in place and are capable of showcasing it, this upcoming Feb 11.

They have been holding back a lot of information. It is only recently that they divulged some of their other nuclear activities.... which were going on the whole time that El Baradei and his IAEA had them under his thumb!

I believe they are ready. It is just when.
