Iranian leader not afraid of US attack: report

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said he does not fear a US military attack on his country's nuclear installations.

Asked whether he was worried about the possibility of an attack in an interview with the US news weekly Time, Mr Ahmadinejad replied: "No".

"Do you think the US administration would be so irrational?" the Iranian leader asked Time, before adding "I hope that is not the case... We do not need attacks". \

The magazine says a US strike on Iran, were it to take place, could target up to 1,500 sites, using heavy bombers such as the B-52 and Tomahawk cruise missiles, based on interviews with experts and government officials.

1. "Do you think the US administration would be so irrational?"

In a word, yes.

Have they done anything rational yet?

4. We need to have a serious talk with him about just how

irrational the US is. If he is counting on the US to be reasonable then he is more far gone than I thought!

2. 1,500 sites: unprovoked war crime.

A massive aerial bombardment of a nation that has done nothing to us, committed no act of war. Gosh no, we would never do anything like that.
