Ahmadenijad is setting the stage for the (inevitable)attack on Israel. He must have the bomb to be speaking so belligerently, which is the part that worries me the most.

I doubt it, he's just stirring the masses. He knows Israel isn't going to reach out to Iran. And probably won't deal with Syria unless Syria makes a mistake. The incitement is free.

I think the last time the IDF has executed so many missions in this short a time was 1973 and look what happened to all the attackers then. Iran is kicking at a hornet's nest.

Methinks that miscalculations have lead to war many times in our history. This could get ugly...

I tend to agree. I don't discount the potential for instability that this fruitcake poses. But when a recent article stated that 70% of the Iranian population is under 30 years old and wants a democratic revolution of their own, Achmed-towelhead is possibly shooting his mouth off as a distraction from the country's own internal problems. So, it's possible he's trying to reassure the crotchety old mullahcracy that he's got a big political p*nis.

But all in all, he's Saddam v2.0, an insecure little boy surrounded by such delusions of grandeur that he'll go out not with a bang, but a whimper (hopefully a painful one at that)...
