Fearing a US strike on Iran during President George W. Bush's last months in office, a senior Iranian official has suggested the Islamic regime should target London to deter such an attack.

Slideshow: Pictures of the week In an article on the Iranian Web site Aftab last week - translated by the Washington-based Middle East Media Research Institute - the head of the Europe and US Department in the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Wahid Karimi, said that an attack on London would deter the US from attacking Teheran.

"The most appropriate means of deterrence that Iran has, in addition to a retaliatory operation in the [Gulf] region, is to take action against London," Karimi said.

In the article, the Iranian official said that an attack might also stem from the fact that presidents in their second terms are "usually adventuresome."

Citing some examples he said: "US presidents are usually adventuresome in their second terms... [Richard] Nixon, disgraced by the Watergate scandal; [Ronald] Reagan, with the 'Irangate' adventure; [and Bill] Clinton, with Monica Lewinsky - and perhaps George Bush, the sitting president, will create a scandal connected to Iran's legitimate nuclear activity so as not to be left behind."

He speculated that a US attack on Iran could come between next month's presidential election and when the new president enters office in January 2009.

"I'm sure the Imams can find another Iranian crazy to fill his shoes. And the beat goes on."

They are all fucking crazy. It must be somthing in the water.

I believe that as well. So the question that needs to be asked is why Iran is posturing. I think I know the answer. I'll bet you know the anwer as well.

Now let me see.... could it be maybe something to do with Obama?

[Candor7]

Bush is likely to announce after next month's presidential elections that he intends to restore the diplomatic relations with Iran,>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> That would be an interesting way to purge the State Dept.

"Now let me see.... could it be maybe something to do with Obama?"

You win the gold star.

[Always Independent]

That would be considered an attack on a NATO ally. I would think that short time later Tehran would be in a state of rubble.

[teletech]

You win the gold star.

Imanutjob probably thinks obami is the last great Imam and he is awaiting obamas orders.

"Imanutjob probably thinks obami is the last great Imam and he is awaiting obamas orders."

I don't think So. He just sees Obama as weak. And that is the truth.

Wouldn't put it past Obama to play let's make a deal on nukes with Iran. Nukes for oil.

Britain is accepting sharia law. The pussification of Britain is almost complete. Why defend those that will not defend themselves?

You give him far too much credit for intelligence. He would give them nukes without the oil. In fact I believe he will.

I pray he never gets the chance. GO MCCAIN GO!

Indeed. Why would the ragheads attack their own satellite state?

[blackbart.223]

"Why defend those that will not defend themselves?"

I believe at some point they will defend themselves. As I said before you can only push people so far.

[blackbart.223]

"I pray he never gets the chance."

Amen.

[grey_whiskers]

Let Iran nuke London. /sarc>

It'd stop creeping Sharia in Europe in its tracks AND get McCain/Palin elected.

Cheers!

"Why would the ragheads attack their own satellite state?"

They have before. You have to remember one thing, they are all kill crazy. Never forget that.
