#2 In response to a question from the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on whether Iran fears an Israeli pre-emptive strike, Mottaki said that the officials of the "Zionist regime" has said that they are facing an earthquake in the occupied land, and therefore "we do not think it can carry out its threats".

Better get your story straight, Turban Boyz. You're the ones having the earthquake.
See story.

#3 Clearly, thpse zionists are a constant threat. it's obvious that tiny speck of land on the Med has designs on conquering neighboring Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and Egypt first, with the rest of the middle east to follow. They plan on forcing the indigenous populations worship only in the Jewish faith. All others will be killed. After all, they have nukes, and they're just itching to use them agains the glorious muslim world. Because these joooooos are barbaric in nature, unlike the enlightened muslims of the world. If only they could find islam, the true religion of peace.

/sarcasm

What's ironic is that just about every other middle eastern country hopes Israel DOES preemptively strike Iran, but is loathe to admit it. So they keep their fingers crossed in their halls of government while fomenting hate in their streets.

#4 Mottaki said that the officials of the "Zionist regime" has said that they are facing an earthquake in the occupied land, and therefore "we do not think it can carry out its threats".

WTF? This is even hard logic to follow in MM-land. Because of an earthquake (in Iran), Israel can't carry out it's threats (not that Israel's even really threatened them yet)? What part of F-16s dropping bombs needs to be on the ground, there MMs? Yeesh, methinks someone's been hittin' the opium pipes too much.

#5 Yeah, Israel is always attacking Iran for no reason.
Sending suicide bombers into public markets and busses.

#7 I think the "earthquake" is a reference to the Israeli elections. (Yet, I don't know why he thinks there's a discord of earthquake proportions. He must be nuts.) And that in Israel's complete dissaray post-election, they won't be able to handle a pre-emptive strike.

On the other hand, he may be forecasting that Israel is about to undergo a major attack (the earthquake) that will eliminate the threat of pre-emptive strike.

I think the tense - despite the bad phrasing of the quote - "about to face" may be truer. Option 2 is what I fear is on the calendar.

#8 If the mullahs weren't such dangerous madmen, it would almost be amusing to watch these total wingnuts vigorously suck their own butts in order to breathe enough exhaust to finally believe what they're spewing.
