That is EXACTLY what we need.
Iranian Officials Claim Israel Is Not Able to Attack Iran
Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini said on Sunday that the “Zionist regime” does not have the capability to attack Iran.
IRNA reported:
Replying to the question about the claim of the Zionist regime’s prime minister, Ehud Olmert, on the possibility of attacking Iran, he said that this has been denied by Israel.
Besides, he underlined that Israel is not capable of attacking Iran, adding that given the high defensive capabilities of Iranian forces, they will hardly let any party to take such a measure.” Turning to Israel’s failure in the 33-day war with Lebanon, which was launched by the Zionist regime, he said that such claims raised by the Zionist regime are aimed at the country’s internal crisis.

/rant on (full rant mode)...
I realize I’m stepping on a lot of toes, here, but I feel the need to share my thoughts about the infamous - and endless - JR thread where so many of our most esteemed members have spent their time the past few days —
The JR thread took up a lot a time, and an infinite amount of energy, to do exactly - repeat EXACTLY - what our enemies (all of them, foreign and domestic) *want* us to do.
Instead of speaking of “vision” and “strategy” and “common ground” and “UNITY”, we waste our efforts in the all-too-familiar ‘circular firing squad’, splitting ideological hairs and bickering with each other while ignoring the real crises that face us.
The anti-Illegal Aliens crowd, and the anti-abortion crowd, and the anti-gay marriage crowd, and the anti-gun-grabber crowd, and the myriad “anti’s” all jump up-and-down and screech “ME!! ME!! ME FIRST!! My Issue is the ONLY ISSUE!!!”
Our only salvation will be if we STOP being “anti”, and figure out what we all agree we are “FOR” — and then directing concerted effort to make that come about.
As it stands, we are divided, and we are conquered.
Make no mistake about it — this upcoming election MUST be about “VISION”, what our nation needs to be, now and into the future.
And then - only then - finding *leaders* who reflect this vision and doing what it takes to get them elected. As far as I can see, there is no candidate out there for ANY national office that deserves our respect or support — we deserve better, and we need to make that known - loud and clear.
We need to stop trying to drive square pegs into round holes - NONE of the gaggle of candidates out there is right for the times - or right for us.
Ann Coulter the other day said that the one benefit she got from watching the Dem Candidates debate was that it made her feel a little bit better about *our* sorry lot — is that *really* what our nation and our way-of-life needs at this point in history?
I’m not smart enough to have the answers to the crises that face us — a smart and implacable islamist enemy abroad; an equally smart and implacable socialist enemy at home; an energy (and resulting economic) crisis that is as imminent as it is ignored and denied; among others — but I am bright enough to see that our “leaders” ain’t addressing them, and we’re letting them get away with it.
