Iran threatens to eliminate Israel if attacked

They threaten to eliminate israel if attacked. They threaten to eliminate israel if not attacked. So what's all the fuss about? I guess the only difference here is whether or not the time they attack is of their own choosing or not.

Gotta keep the rubes distracted ...

Iran will destroy Israel if Israel attacks Teheran, Iranian Deputy Chief of Staff Mohammad Reza Ashtiani warned Tuesday in response to a threat issued last week by National Infrastructure Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer. "We are not worried by the recent Israeli maneuvers, but if Israel wants to take any action against the Islamic republic, we will eliminate Israel from the universe," the Iranian Mehr agency quoted Ashtiani as saying.

Ben-Eliezer had warned that "Iran will be wiped off the face of the earth if it dares to fire any missile at us."

Later in the week, Ben-Eliezer would not retract his statement: "I do not regret the threats I directed at Iran and its leaders. I am sick of receiving threats to Israel's existence on a daily basis."

#2 Lest we fergit, ANSAMED/OTHER > ZAWAHIRI: IRAN IS THE COMMON ENEMY TO BOTH AL QAEDA, USA. Zawi criticizes US GOP POTUS Candidate MCCAIN for inferring that AQ is in formal collusion wid Iran???

OTOH, FREEREPUBLIC Poster(s) > IRAN still believed to hold AT LEAST ONE OF OSAMA BIN LADEN'S SONS + OTHER TOP AQ BIGWIGS, ergo OSAMA = AQ [per se] will allegedly/seemingly NOT initiate any Terror attacks agz Iran??? OTHER NON-AQ MILITANT GROUPS???

#4 You know, Persians (Regular Rezas and Sarahs) don't have to take this shit. They just need to gather all the mullahs against a big wall.

I don't need no arms around me
And I dont need no drugs to calm me.
I have seen the writing on the wall.
Don't think I need anything at all.
No! Don't think I'll need anything at all.
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall.

And then push from the other side.

#5 The Iranians do NOT want the Israelis using the Samson Option - the level of fallout present throughout most of Iran would be unbelievable. Of course, if the Israelis go all out, the level of fallout throughout the Arab region would be unbelievable. Last projection I read on the Option was 120 million Arab/Persian dead with the first 72 hours.

#7 The question is, how would that fallout effect the rest of the world. Chernyobel's fallout spread some distance. Someone must have done a prediction somewher as this is one of the most likely scenerios.

#8 Last projection I read on the Option was 120 million Arab/Persian dead with the first 72 hours.

They would probably be looked at as 120M martyrs. Well within acceptable levels to many of the current governments and their supporters.

#9 "They are not near Baghdad. Don't believe them.... They said they entered with... tanks in the middle of the capital. They claim that they - I tell you, I... that this speech is too far from the reality. It is a part of this sickness of their plan. There is no an... - no any existence to the American troops or for the troops in Baghdad at all."

#10 Best "Baghdad Bob" cartoon I've seen shows Bob in front of TV cameras declaring the US is nowhere near, and Schwarzkopf waving hello in the window behind him.
