What Is Iran Planning for Thursday?
Pajamas Media ^ | Feb. 9 | Michael Ledeen

Posted on 02/09/2010 9:51:06 AM PST by AJKauf

Khamenei, whose public statements should be taken seriously, is promising some sort of devastating “punch” against the West on Thursday the 11th, the same day as the Green Movement is calling for a monster protest against his regime.

What might he have in mind? I don’t know; they say a lot of things just for effect, but threats/promises from the supreme leader have a certain standing. If I were an Israeli official, I’d recheck my information on Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad.

Well if they do a test Obama is going to look like a class one fool. Or possibly establish a whole new class of fool. Boldly fooling where no fool had been fooled before.

Obama needs to go over there and talk to that man - that’s all it would take and everything would be fine. Well, only if he doesn’t forget to bow.

Dopey may be surprised when “his punch to the west” is what brings him down.

A crude nuke will be tested.

The mulla-ocracy wants an Isreali response in order to hang on to power by cracking down.

They have factored out any serious US response outside of a stern UN speech.

My guess is a successful test of a new ballistic missile capable of carrying multiple warheads and hitting Europe..........

No, Obama will not look like a fool. Bush will be blamed. It will be claimed that Bush did nothing while Iran developed a bomb. This, of course, is not true, but it’s what they’ll say.

Whatever it is, O surely isn’t worried about it, he’s worried about taking vending machines out of schools. Now there is a president who knows what he is doing! (/sarc)

I rule out any military action against the US or Europe, way to risky. I rule out a nuclear test (might not work). Perhaps a missle launch of some kind? Unlikely again might not work. Attack on Israel? Perhaps but again risky. Formation of a grand (Islamic) Aliance? Definate maybe. Involving Iraq, Afganistain? naw. Best guess is a big economic (arms) deal with maybe Russia, China or India. India being less likely.

Personally I think they both look pretty ineffective. Bush got lousy support from a treasonous left, and he took some steps against significant European and democrat opposition. But he sure as heck didn't stop them, and he easily could have.
