Iran Leader: Israel Will Be Annihilated
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/iran_israel;_ylt=A9FJqaqf3T9EvSEAZwys0NUE;_ylu=X3o DMTA2Z2szazkxBHNlYwN0bQ--
By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 2 minutes ago TEHRAN, Iran - The president of Iran again lashed out at Israel on Friday and said it was "heading toward annihilation," just days after Tehran raised fears about its nuclear activities by saying it successfully enriched uranium for the first time. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called Israel a "permanent threat" to the Middle East that will "soon" be liberated. He also appeared to again question whether the Holocaust really happened. "Like it or not, the Zionist regime is heading toward annihilation," Ahmadinejad said at the opening of a conference in support of the Palestinians. "The Zionist regime is a rotten, dried tree that will be eliminated by one storm." Ahmadinejad provoked a world outcry in October when he said Israel should be "wiped off the map." On Friday, he repeated his previous line on the Holocaust, saying: "If such a disaster is true, why should the people of this region pay the price? Why does the Palestinian nation have to be suppressed and have its land occupied?" The land of Palestine, he said, referring to the British mandated territory that includes all of Israel, Gaza and the West Bank, "will be freed soon." He did not say how this would be achieved, but insisted to the audience of at least 900 people: "Believe that Palestine will be freed soon." "The existence of this (Israeli) regime is a permanent threat" to the Middle East, he added. "Its existence has harmed the dignity of Islamic nations." The three-day conference on Palestine is being attended by officials of Hamas, the ruling party in the Palestinian territories. Iran has previously said it will give money to the Palestinian Authority to make up for the withdrawal of donations by Western nations who object to Hamas' refusal to recognize Israel and renounce violence. But no figure has been published. On Tuesday, Ahmadinejad announced that Iran had successfully enriched uranium using a battery of 164 centrifuges, a significant step toward the large-scale production of enriched uranium required for either fueling nuclear reactors or making nuclear weapons. The United States, France and Israel accuse Iran of using a civilian nuclear program to secretly build a weapon. Iran denies this, saying its program is confined to generating electricity. The U.N. Security Council has given Iran until April 28 to cease enrichment. But Iran has rejected the demand. The chief of Israeli military intelligence, Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin, was quoted Wednesday as saying Iran could develop a nuclear bomb "within three years, by the end of the decade." |

So that's what they're looking for! |

Amazing how two "religions" who believe in many of the same prophets can hate each other so much.
Interesting choice of word: Dignity....

recently emailed to me by RoninLB
 ....Rumsfeld Scoffs at Attack Speculation Meanwhile, at the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld scoffed at suggestions that U.S. military planners are preparing a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. “That’s just wild speculation,” Mr. Rumsfeld said. “I have no specific plans in my hands at this very moment to hit their nuclear facility at 33.3 degrees North latitude, 51.55 degrees East longitude. We have not decided to penetrate that location with a 4,637 pound GBU-28 laser-guided bunker-buster bomb carrying 630 pounds of high explosive, and capable of cutting through 100 feet of earth or 20 feet of concrete before detonation.” “So,” Mr. Rumsfeld said, “let’s stop the irresponsible speculation and focus on a peaceful negotiated settlement, shall we?”

Now I know this opinion is likely to generate a lot of flames, so go for it. I’m just playing devils advocate. Nothing excuses Iran’s behavior, and I’m as afraid of them getting nukes as the next guy.
But can you Iran for being defensive? I mean we launch a pre-emptive war against Iraq, we support Israel, we are occupying their country, we have bases all over the middle east, we’re forcing our way of life on several countries over there, etc, etc. They just don’t want that. They want fundamentalist Islam law in place, where you stone a little girl if she gets raped and force the women to wear burkas, etc, etc. We’re trying to make that way of life go away. Now with the exception of the pre-emptive war against Iraq, I think we are generally in the right. Wiping out the Taliban was necessary, as is wiping out Al Qaeda. And I’m completely for separation of church and state. Their fundamentalist Islamic governments are a good reason why. But they are just trying to prevent us from taking over the entire Middle East, which is what they think we are doing. We aren’t, of course, but they think we are.

U.S. TO SEND ONE TROOP TO IRAN
Rumsfeld: Army of One Can Get it Done In an effort to punish the government of Iran for its nuclear ambitions, the Pentagon announced today that it was preparing to send one troop to Iran. The troop, Private John R. Klugian, who is currently stationed at Fort Dix, could be deployed to Iran as early as next month, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld told reporters at the Pentagon. For Mr. Rumsfeld, who has been criticized for not sending sufficient troops to Iraq, the decision to send only one troop to Iran seemed guaranteed to create even more controversy. But the Defense Secretary used the better part of his Pentagon press briefing to explain that sending one troop, in this case Private Klugian, was more than enough to quell Iran’s nuclear threat. “In the Army’s recruitment ads, they talk about an ‘Army of One,’” Mr. Rumsfeld said. “In the case of Iran, we are taking that literally.” With U.S. troop levels stretched thin in Iraq and Afghanistan, sending Pvt. Klujian to deal with Iran on his own may have been a necessity, military analysts believe. But Secretary Rumsfeld denied that by sending only one troop to Iran he was fighting the war there “on the cheap.” “I am fully prepared to send one additional troop to help with the reconstruction,” he said. Mr. Rumsfeld said that he fully expected his latest military strategy to come under fire from his detractors, but he had stern words of warning for those who would criticize it: “I would ask them to support our troop.” http://www.borowitzreport.com/

Your a littel off Kang...After 911 the USA realized it had to deal with the ME, of which it had largely forgotten about or would like to have...and now we are imposing order to the place...kicking a$$ and taking names.
The ME is a can of worms..damed if U do damed if you don't. Take a look at Kadifi...he turned in his Nukes program, he diecided to be a GOOD BOY, foir 2 reasons...First he knew he was on a short list, 2. He decided that he liked the status quo in the world more than he liked revoulution. Al Qaeda even scared Kadifi because they are trhe real deal zealots and can't be bargained with.... Now Iran is run by bonehead religious zealots, who actually believe they are doing Allahs Work here on earth..and that if EVERYBODY lived a rightous life according to the Koran (their translation of it that is) we would all be happy campers. So talk about TAUNTING Israel...with their statements that Israel should be annihillated and the Holocost didn't happen... Iran is just baiting Israel into making a rash move...talk is cheap...except of course that it contributes to Global warming... The question remains which countries flag is going to be on the planes that deliver those Bunker Buster Bombs... The fking Mullahs are so fking stupid that they don't realize how many Trident Missles are aimed at them.... The hope of the extremists is to be able to provoke the US into making rash or suchdraconian moves that it will inflame the Muslim world into Jihad...

Iran's regime has 20% of its population's support.
Russia can contain Iran any time it wants.
