Bosnia-Herzegovina — Iran's (search) foreign minister has told a Bosnian newspaper that if Washington decides to attack Iran it will be a nightmare for the United States.

"If America decides to attack Iran, they will make a big mistake. It will be a nightmare for them," Kamal Kharizi was quoted as saying in an interview published Thursday in the Nezavisne Novine newspaper.

Kharizi is part of an Iranian delegation led by President Mohammad Khatami (search) which was to conclude a three-day visit to Bosnia (search) on Thursday.

Yep watching all that Iranian blood squirting would give any soldier nightmares.

I am flippin shakin in my boots, I hope Iran does not unleash their mighty military on us. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.

[peyton randolph]

Reminds me of Libya's line of death in the 1980s. Middle Eastern version of Big Hat No Cattle.

[marvlus]

So, Iran is mouthing off again?

[Laserman]

Same phony bravado as "The Mother of All Wars" we got from tin pot dictator Hussein. The Iranians would fold just as quickly, and their people would turn on them in a flash.

You're first on our list, Kharizi . By the way, is it true that your name, translated in english, means "Raper of Camel"?

[ApesForEvolution]

They won't even see it coming...then "POOF!", "hello allahu fubaru!"

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The nightmare of sweeping up so much broken glass.

[Search4Truth]

THIS IS THE LINE OF DEATH, YOU CROSS IT, YOU DIE!

Uh, This Is The Line Of Death, You Cross It, You Die!

Umm ... this is the line of death, you cross it, you die.

You knock on my door, I'm not coming out.

[Wisconsin155]

Nice to see Baghdad Bob is working again.

Based on their performance in the Iran Iraq war, the Iranians don't have much to brag about.

[Robe]

translated in English, means "Raper of Camel"?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Not True... it means "putrid receptacle of camel sperm"

You were reading the "Reformed Mullah Dictionary"

Easy mistake

[Aquinasfan]

The problem is that this would alienate the wishy-washy Mohammedans, who we are beginning to win over.

Pakistan: Disgraced Scientist Gave Iran Centrifuges

[DTogo]

Same bluster we heard from that bearded "homeless" dictator we pulled from a spider hole...

[A. Pole]

Same phony bravado as "The Mother of All Wars" we got from tin pot dictator Hussein. The Iranians would fold just as quickly, and their people would turn on them in a flash.

Assuming that Iran is ruled by a "tin pot dictator" from a 20% Sunni minority ruling over rebelious Kurds and dispossed Shiite majority, the war on Iran would require only three times more resources (Iran is three times larger)

So if everything goes perfect 800,000 US troops are needed for the campaign, half trillion dollars and 500,000 troops to occupy Iran for a few years (with the extra few hundred millions dollars later).

If things go wrong, the cost can double or triple. This could meand 2,000,000 troops, general draft and costs above trillion. And this would not help the operations in Iraq or Afghanistan.

[sd-joe]

Phooey. Really bad assumptions.

[Yossarian]

I think the way we would go about it is to first establish an insurgency within Iran, then coordinate and/or fight alongside them to defeat the Mullah & their brainless Morons. More of the Afgan War model than the Iraq War model.

(Luckily for us, the Northern Alliance was already going in Afganistan when 9/11 hit....)

Sounds familiar

You watched too much MTV during the election cycle... *geesh*
