This is ugly, even for sabre-rattling standards.

[MARKUSPRIME]

I grow weary of the corrupt Russian/China/Iran alliance. Their day is coming mark my words.

"Israel does not have the courage to attack Iran, and if it commits such a big mistake, the defenders of Islamic Iran will put Israel in an eternal coma like Sharon," Mostafa Mohammad Najjar was quoted as saying by state television.

What a mouth on these guys! You are correct...this is ugly and getting uglier by the day.

[Semper Paratus]

On a scale of 1 to 10 I'll give Iran a 9.5 for rhetoric.

[GreyFriar]

Tsk, tsk. There is nothing to fear from the Iranians. All of this can be settled with peaceful talks over nice cups of tea. Mr. Jimmy Carter will probably soon to be on his way there to solve the "problem." (scarasm off)

[adam_az]

Sounds like a pro wrestler to me.

Have you ever read the book "The Ezekial Option"? If not, it is worth reading.

Baghdad Bob under a new identity?
If the subject weren't so potentially deadly, this would be hilarious...

[ZeitgeistSurfer]

Iran...hmmm...wasn't there a country with that name that tried to attack Israel. Whatever happened to them?

[river rat]

The ONLY thing that will shut up the lunatic, braggadocio Muslim Sand Nazis - is their destruction.....

We will NEVER "win the minds and hearts" of the fanatics..
Better to kick their freaking ass, and their minds and hearts will follow..

Semper Fi

[Taliesan]

These Arab cultures are fond of poetic, macho smacktalk. Then they get their butts kicked. (cf. "mother of all battles"). It's really such a tired ritual.

There is little difference between the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and Iran today.

In 1962, Khrushchev supplied nuke tipped missiles to Cuba. Today, Putin supplies Iran with the design and construction of a nuclear plant (now completed) and is supplying nuclear fuel to Iran.

In 1962, Cuba would not have been a problem without the Soviets. Today, Iran would not be a problem without the Russians.

In 1962, Khrushchev supplied the nukes to threaten American allies in the OAS and America herself. Today, Putin has made Iran a threat to American allies (most notably Israel) and America herself.

The difference? In 1962, JFK was upfront with the American people and said the problem behind Cuba and Castro is the Soviets. Today, George Bush refuses to be upfront with the American people by refusing to name the Russians as the reason why we have this problem in the first place.

[Supernatural]

The words crusin' for a brusin' come to mind.

[US_MilitaryRules]

I like your analogy.

[montyspython]

"Israel does not have the courage to attack Iran"

The reason Isreal has not is due to the fact that the US doesn't let them.

[tomahawk]

Natanz should be destroyed, whatever it takes.

[jw777]

Israel has the courage. Unfortunatley, they don't have the land mass to sustain nuclear a strike from Iran. But, that would not deter them if they felt Iran's strike were imminent.

If Israel did it, they will do it right and they will do it completely.

KATZ: HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN!!
KATZ: ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US.
KATZ: DESTRUCTION ARE ON THE WAY TO YOU.
KATZ: YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE MAKE YOUR TIME.
KATZ: HA HA HA HA....

[Dark Skies]

The reason Isreal has not is due to the fact that the US doesn't let them.

That and the fact that once the U.S. or Israel or both start down that road, there's no turning back (in fact, all hell might break loose).

[Ciexyz]

When has there been a leader indulging in such irresponsible and dangerous rhetoric, as this nut in Iran?
