Because of the Obama administration's weakness, the Revolutionary Guards think they can win.

So do I. It would be a major victory for obama's muslim outreach program.

>>> Iran: America Too Depleted to Attack Even if We Make the Bomb!

What do you mean we are too depleted? We haven’t touched our pile(s) yet, have we?

Anyway, if you make The Bomb and use it against our interests, we will find out soon. Obama or no Obama.

This sounds a lot like the prelude that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Fine with me, this world needs a few consequences. I say we just get this over with right now and start melting each other. Whoever wins wins.

Obama has already declared he will never use nuclear weapons in defense of the United States. If Iran attacks us before we can throw that bum out of the White House, what then?

Wing Attack Plan 'R'?

Of course, we'll need to find our Gen. Jack D. Ripper ... today's military may be a bit too p.c. for that.

It would take a military coup in order to launch nukes because hussein isn't going to order it. Especially against his own people in a muzzie country.

Translation, the President is pro-Islamist and Iran is safe so long as he is in the White House.

They wouldn’t dare. They’d experience the wrath of the U N’s security council who would immediately discuss the potential of a possible SC resolution. The majority of member nations in the General Assembly would immediately come down on Iran and come to the aid of the U.S. /s

The only winning move is not to play. Iran understands it, and it doesn't play. This is why they are accumulating lots of low grade uranium but (as far as the world knows) aren't producing weapon-grade materials.

The reason for that is simple. By staying within the NPT they paint themselves as victims - and ultimately most of the world (such as 3rd world countries) supports them because no country wants to find itself in a similar position. On the other hand, Iran can quickly produce weapons grade uranium whenever they want to, since they have so many centrifuges. The step from 0.001% to 1% is much harder than from 1% to 90%. The hardware for the bomb - the casing, the fuzes - they may already have, since it's not a controlled item. It was hard to do right in 1945, but it was done and worked every time. It's much easier to do in 2011 - you can instrument your casing with sensors, explode the charges and verify with oscilloscopes and on computer screens that the bomb works as it should. Nobody can detect those tests because they don't require nuclear materials. As long as you don't build a modern, highly optimized nuke, the principles of operation are well known and physicists understand what needs to be done by the fuze machinery.

But Iran's point is that they don't even need a nuke. They only need to wait a bit, until the USA crumbles under its own weight. They saw USSR fall, so they know it's possible. They researched the reasons for that fall and they know what will likely trigger it in the USA. They only need to wait while the USA is busy digging themselves out of the debt hole - and that's what they are openly proclaiming. As matter of the fact, they don't care about the USA at all, they just want it to go away.

“Anyway, if you make The Bomb and use it against our interests, we will find out soon. Obama or no Obama.”

I’m going to call you on that comment.

I don’t believe Obama would _ever_ use nuclear weapons against an Islamic country — even if we had had such weapons used against us, and even if there were proof of such.

He’s a Muslim.

He would not order it.

This isn’t the United States of our forefathers anymore.
It’s a long way from even the U.S.A. of George W. Bush.
A long, long way....

Just sayin’....

And then they would send...(gasp)...a strongly worded letter!

Hopefully, something akin to the plot of Seven Days in May.

The ME perception that the US has become weak is what will cause them to think they can attack Israel as well.

Just nuke Hollywood and Boston (Har-vahd) or Manhattan (Wall Street) first. /sarc>
