Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Saturday the Islamic Republic would soon announce "very important" achievements in the nuclear field, state TV reported.
He was speaking on the 33rd anniversary of the Islamic revolution. Tens of thousands of Iranians joined state-organized rallies across the country to mark the occasion.
Demonstrators carrying Iranian flags and pictures of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei chanted "Death to Israel" and "Death to America."
Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, who arrived in Iran on Friday for three-day trip, also spoke at the ceremony. Haniyeh vowed that the Hamas movement will never recognize the State of Israel and will continue its resistance until all Palestinian lands are liberated.
On Friday, Iran pledged to back Palestinian resistance against Israel, saying "soon the Zionist regime will be punished for its plots and aggression".

I had a chance to take out Hitler before he killed 6 million Jews, but I didn’t take it. I had a chance to take out Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot, but I didn’t take them. Now I’ve got a chance to take out a muslim nutbag, but Barry’s plan is to bend over and take it like the homo he is. Nice plan!
I’d like to know who is funding Ron Paul? I have a hard time believing his followers could afford to fund him.
Fools all!! And the band played on.
Wow. Is this going to be like that memorable Star Wars scene...”Behold the fully operational Death Star?”
God help us!
Should be interesting...If Iran has completed delivery plans for a nuke. OK they have one...Israel has >200

There are quite a few respectable small-l libertarians; William Buckley, Milton Friedman, Walter Williams, R.A Heinlein, Ayn Rand, Barry Goldwater, etc. I would highly recommend that you listen to the Jason Lewis Show on iHeart Radio.
Before the Lights Go Out: A Survey of EMP Preparedness Reveals Significant ShortfallsApparently, it would only cost $200-$400 million to protect vital transformers in the electrical grid, but Congress hasn't acted to finance the protection, and the utilities don't think it's their job.By James Jay Carafano, Ph.D. , Baker Spring and Richard Weitz, Ph.D.

August 15, 2011Abstract: An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) over the United States could end modern life in America overnight. Whether caused by an enemy attack (a nuclear device detonated above the atmosphere) or by a natural phenomenon (a geomagnetic storm), an EMP can cause entire regions of the country to lose electricity—permanently. Despite the EMP Commission’s recommendations in 2004 and 2008, hardly any progress has been made in protecting the country from an EMP attack and its catastrophic results. The U.S. must prepare to deal with an EMP—now.
An EMP pulse would destroy the banking system.
The potential chaos is unimaginable.
I read all of this and Revelation and used to think, no way. It sounds a lot more possible when you think of it now. I know our grandfathers bunkered down in fear of the growing Soviet threat and here we are, repeating their provisions. I hope we just wind up with a ton of extra powdered eggs.
Doesn't sound like sanctions are bothering Iran's government or economic health in any significant way. It's weird we hear NOTHING about the effect of any sanctions.
Obama was beating his breast not too long ago when he announced further sanctions. Were they ever put in place? Why the blackout on any news on the efficacy of any sanctions?
Which major nations are cooperating with sanctions....and which nations are conducting business as usual with Iran?

Don't forget, Israel is the Little Satan, and we're the Great Satan. What makes you think they'll hit Israel first?
They can already launch satellites into orbit, and within a few years, or even now, they may have the ability to launch an EMP strike against the US.
The resulting chaos would be unimaginable. It's a scenario that could trigger the return of the "Mahdi," in their eschatalogical belief system.
They won't risk a preemptive strike, they will demonstrate it. Heck even if it fails the radiation it releases alone will be claimed a success.
While I suspect we are correct, I hope like crazy we are wrong and the world keeps spinning. I keep asking in prayer are we done? Keep asking for more time to save... I never thought I would be saying such prayers.

Meanwhile the war is actually being prosecuted inside Iran by a group or probably groups of special forces operations from perhaps several nations. Although the US and Israel are given the credit here, this week it was posted that the US is training special forces for the GCC nations. That is the reason for the plot to kill the Saudi and Israeli ambassadors in Washington. Three birds with one stone
Obama is hyping the sanctions with the knowledge that the Iranian capabilities are being either destroyed or at least seriously degraded by the covert operations within Iran.
These operations are actually carried out by those nations most seriously affected, Israel and the GCC.
From the Iranian point of view, Obama could be considered duplicitious
