Iranians not buying the BS...
http://www.dailystar.com.lb/article.asp?edition_id=10&categ_id=2&article_id=93414

Iran dismisses Israeli exercises as 'psychological operations'


"It seems a series of psychological operations have been taken to intimidate Iran and force it to renounce its absolute and legitimate right" to nuclear power, Fars news agency quoted Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najar as saying.

"But the Islamic Republic will not be intimidated by these threats and will not renounce its right," he added.

Israel and its number one ally, the United States, say they fear Iran could use its uranium-enrichment program to make an atomic weapon, and have never ruled out launching a military strike against it.


"Iran will not begin any conflict but will punish any aggressor with force. With determination and using all the options - without limit in time and space - we will give a destructive response to any hostile action," Najar warned.

His comments came after the UN atomic watchdog chief Mohamed ElBaradei warned on Saturday that an attack on Iran would turn the region into a "ball of fire."

1. Besides, republicon stooge Ollie North gave Iran our US Hawk Missiles...
Edited on Mon Jun-23-08 06:53 PM by SpiralHawk
during the massive stinkola of the Iran-Contra scandal - funded by republicon drug dealing. So now, even though outdated, the Hawk missiles may well be used against Israeli or US warplanes and our sons and daughters in uniform serving as pilots.

Thanks a pantload Ollie for your "pretend patriotism," you traitor to the USA -- giving our weapons, a Bible, and a freaking cake to what you call the Iranian "Evil Doers." Take a look in the mirror, Mr. North, and see the darkness that will swallow you up...

3. Yup, but a blunderbuss will kill you as dead as an AK-47 if it hits you

Not that I would expect the republicon chickenhawk leadership that lied us into the Oil Profits Crusade in the Middle East -- clowns such as VP Dickie 'Five Military Deferments' Cheney, or Rush 'Ass Pimple Draft Dodger' Limbaugh, or Bill 'Weasel out of service' O'Reilly, or Sean 'Gucci Loafers Exemption' Hannity -- to have a clue about weapons or military service, or Enabling the so-called enemy.

4. Flashback to republicon arms giveaway to Iran
It just makes my blood boil when chickenhawk republicons pretend to be patriots, after they equipped enemies to kill our sons and daughters in uniform.

Ptoooey.

The secret funding of arms, which was sold to "moderate Iranians," was orchestrated primarily by North. Then the profits from the sales were used to send more weapons to the Contras in Central America. North controlled the secret and illegal treasury which financed "the Enterprise." This consisted of CIA agents turned arms merchants, dummy CIA corporations, and clandestine Swiss bank accounts. The Enterprise took in $48 million in cash. Some was pocketed by arms dealer Albert Hakim and by General Richard Secord. Some of the money was funneled into the Middle East to pay for North's failures in attempting to liberate the American hostages in Beirut.

5. Grumble. Still fuming about the republicon anti-American moves...
grrrr - grinding teeth, trying to convert the grinding into a prayer for our US sons and daughters in uniform, that they be safe and not lied to further by the republicon chickenhawks, or trick into another needless and badly-led invasion and occupation for Republicon Nation Building and Profit.

Grrrrr....
