This at least proveds that Ahmadinajad is merely speaks for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who is calling the shots.

Is there anyone in their right mind who thinks economic sanctions, even if the could be agreed upon, would have the slightest effect on Iran? Like France and China won't buy Iranian oil?

This United Nations tact is a politically correct waste of time. Castro has been defying the United States Economic embargo for over 45 years by the way.

The Ayatollah is old and will be dying soon. What a better way to go out then with a nuke bomb on Israel and American interests (cities).

They're not harming our interests now ? What's holding em back ?

Heard they were afraid of President Bush. They're waiting for weak-kneed, PC-lovin', America-hating, Dem to win the White House.

Iran will harm U.S. interests anywhere in the world...

Isn't threatening to strike non-strategic targets the precise definition of terrorism. Axis of Evil indeed.

[floridaobserver]

Well, they are waiting for us to attack them, then they will lower the boom on the United States.

Guess the only way to find out is to try it ..

Iran has learned how to manipulate our gas prices and is toying with us. One missle or rocket at any ship in the gulf and oil prices will soar. I predict they are saving this for later in the hot summer months.

[DCPatriot]

One Ayatollah will be replaced by a younger perhaps more virulent one.

All we can really do is to goad them into doing something that warrants their ruination. Nothing else will work.

I'm afraid there is a lot of suffering on the horizon for millions of people...both physically and economically.

Where's Jimmy Carter when you need him? (sarcasm)

All of their rhetoric and jumping up and down to be noticed reminds me that great book by Dr Suess, “Horton Hears a Who.”

And I will poke a Pit Bulls eye out if it comes after me. Doesn't mean the pit wont rip my face off.

The thing is that Iran knows that Dubya is politically very weak and doesn't have the personal credibility (now) to lead the USA into another war in the Mid East.

The USA can't do anything about Iran right now.

[tomahawk]

Bush has lost his nerve.

The Mullahs think he is weak, based on his blinking yesterday on oil/SPR, we can't even handle $75/oil.

This is a failure of leadership and will be his legacy.

The thing is that Iran knows that Dubya is politically very weak and doesn't have the personal credibility (now) to lead the USA into another war in the Mid East.

Which is exactly why he should act. Bush is in command of the troops. He isn't up for re-election and this is one genie that we simply cannot allow out of the bottle.

Iran "Will Harm US Interests if NOT Attacked" Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khameini Issues Warning.

[HitmanLV]

A President is a leader, not a ruler. Dubya's leadership is severely compromised. That can change (and I expect it will) but right now, he doesn't have the leadership nor the moral authority for another military adventure while public confidence is very low on his ability to handle the military adventure he is currently in (Iraq).
