Iran grimaces fearsomely, warns West against attack
2007-09-23
Iran told Western powers on Saturday that they would regret launching any attack over Tehran’s nuclear activities and it rolled out a display of missiles and other hardware that underscored its warning. “Our message to the enemies is: Do not do it,” the head of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards, Mohammad Ali Jafari, said, speaking to reporters less than a week after France’s foreign minister publicly raised the prospect of war. “They will regret it, as they are regretting it in Iraq,” Jafari added, speaking on the sidelines of an annual military parade.

Missile display: The Islamic Republic put on show medium-range missiles it has previously said could reach Israel and US bases in the Gulf at the parade marking the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq conflict. Iran showed among its weaponry a type of missile it has said has a range of 2,000 km (1,250 miles) — enabling it to hit Israel and US bases in the region. But the television commentator said Shahab-3 had a range of only 1,300 km (812 miles). Another missile at the parade, Ghadr-1, can reach targets 1,800 km (1,125 miles) away, he said. It was believed to be the first time it has been shown publicly.

#6  FREEREPUBLIC > WAR WITH IRAN - IS AMERICA READY?
+ IRAN: USA WANTS BETTER OPINIONS/LEADERSHIP. Iran is counting on mainstream Amer impatience for long wars, foreign interventionism, anti-Amer Amer politicians and ideo movements, geopol-milpol chaos, and US self-induced bankruptcy, etc - IN SHORT, FOR USA TO [MOSTLY]DEFEAT ITSELF. IRAN, etc. DOES NOT WANT USA ON A WW2-STYLE WAR FOOTING NOR TO WAR WITH ANYTHING BUT A VOLUNTEER ARMY.

#4  When Ahmadinejad leaves the UN for Columbia University or any other non-UN location, the US government must immediately place Ahmadinejad into custody.

He should be tried for participating in the kidnapping of US Embassy employees and holding these people hostage for 400 days.

The killing of our troops in Iraq.

Executing Iranian children under the age of 18.

Rallying for the destruction of the United State of America.

Columbia University leadership should be indicted for providing support, aid and comfort for terrorists by providing a platform for Ahmadinejad, the leader of a brutal, terrorist state the use their facilities to speak, as well as indicted for supporting this beast who is actively involved in numerous violations of
human rights.

In the meantime, the people of Iran are now in rebellion in regards to the abuse of his own people.

The Iranian people must be given the opportunity to restore a legitimate government with the indictment and arrest of Ahmadinejad.

#3  The Iranians; Zenster, have always been errant in "Reading The Handwriting On The Wall", and it goes as far back as Cyrus The Great in 530 B.C.E!

#2  Iran told Western powers on Saturday that they would regret launching any attack

America's only regret will be that any attack of ours wasn't launched five minutes after the embassy hostages were off of Iranian soil.

#1  Even if they were able to, it would be a last-ditch move when they had nothing else to lose. Suggests mullocracy is weak.
