It sure appears that way to me too. I wonder if they have smuggled one to hezbollah.
Israel and the US had better be prepared...
I don't think Iran is trying to bait Israel into an attack which Iran would say legitimizes an Iranian war with Israel.
(1) If that were the goal, the line in the sand could have been hitting or invading Lebanon. (Last week Iran was standing with Lebanon. Well, that threat didn't do anything, and Iran hasn't been able to do squat, so Syria is the new meaningless line.)
(2) Iran has no intent of open war with Israel. The mullacracy (not iranians) are cowards. They and their mouth piece talk tough, but the talk is all over the board (one day boasting of massive material support to Hezbollah, the next denying it). EVERYTHING is about political warfare -- not hot warfare.
(3) Iran can't fight "wars." The best they can do is send brainwashed paupers, boys, and women with explosive vests to their deaths. So, Iran doesn't want an open and free fire zone war. They want political grayness which they can exploit. The status quo is just fine with them.
No, all they are doing is PR for their campaign to be the Defender of the Faith.
Their defense plan? The world community pulling Israel off the proxies because the proxies are being mauled. In the meantime, Iran works on its nuclear capability and talks tough.
You know the type - in the middle of a fight they turn purple yelling at one of the fighters - so long as someone is standing between them and the fighter they're yelling at. If there were any chance of the fighter gazing at them before unleashing on them, they'd stay quiet. Notice how Adjdusugu? keeps saying Israel and the U.S. can't even look at Iran?
I love your Mecca Weather Forecast.
I agree with that.
They know that Israel (as a civilised nation) would not attack Iran without extreme provocation, so they are pushing it and talking tough.
If Israel even sniffed that Iran had/or where tempted to use Nuclear weapons they would cease to exist.
Sounds like "I double dog dare you" kind of statement.

Maybe Syria is giving Hesbala the WMD's that came out of Iraq?
FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Bring back the Phalange.
I think that if Israel was hit hard and was about to be overrun,then all of the Israeli nukes that we have be hearing about for years would be launched.How many do they have?Estimates range from 150 to 750.Iran would cease to exist in any meaningful way.Too bad about Syria also.
You got that right. Screw Russia and China with their ramblings.
These are the people who spent about a decade sacrificing their high school graduating classes trying to defeat Saddam. Ended in a stalemate.
My money's on Israel. Israel will have air superiority, and in a nuke exchange, they can obliterate Iran.
I am in favor of a joint US - Israeli assault on both Syria and Iran . End this once and for all now , or it will go on to haunt us for years and years . Just like North Korea.
Let's get it done with ...now
"Mother of all Battles" is Sunni. "Unimaginable losses" is Shi'ite.
I just popped over to DU and DailyChaos, and it is truly appalling that these so-called "Americans" are supporting terrorists and continued terrorism against Israel--the anti-semitism is out and out unbelieveable there! Here's a sample: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/7/16/43054/2374
These people would throw a party to see Iran nuke Israel off the map. Are they related to Iran's Lil'Hitler president??
There was a reported sale of Nuclear tipped cruise missiles to China and Iran by the Ukraine in 2005.
Google is your friend :~)
I'm thinking we're gonna get to bomb some nuclear facilities in Iran, after all...
Lol! Thanks for the graphics ... excellent!
It's about time for us to reiterate our unwavering support for Israel, and to caution Iran that any intervention will result in massive retaliation by the United States of America.
Every 10 years the raghead jihadists need to be bombed to oblivion. They're too stupid to remember lessons from the past. Israel was reluctant to bomb them 10 years ago and look what they got! Only the dumbest, most immoral, demonic people would declare war against the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
