Iranian Op-ed Calls For Worldwide Attacks
2008-01-28
In a January 26 op-ed in the Iranian daily Kayhan, the paper's editor, Hossein Shariatmadari, who is close to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, called on Muslims to unite in a retaliatory attack on American, European, and Israeli "sensitive centers" because of "the war crimes that these countries are committing in the Gaza Strip" and because of their support for Israel.

In his op-ed, Shar'iatmadari stressed that American and European civilians must be harmed in these attacks, so as to make the U.S. and the European countries change their policy towards Israel. He further called for harming Israelis worldwide, and explained that Islamic regimes that prevent an Islamic attack on Israel must be toppled, because they are defending the enemy.

#13  LUCIANNE/TOPIX > BUSH: WE WILL CONFRONT IRAN IFF NECESSARY. USA will defend its troops, defend its Allies, and defend its interests in the Gulf or anywhere, TO INCLUDE PROTECTING/DEFENDING ITS TROOPS IN IRAQ.

IOW, IMO/IIRAC DUBYA is engaging in his version of [Reagan-era]FLEXIBLE RESPONSE vv CONVENTIONAL WAR AGZ IRAN. "Justification" for a unilateral US mil response may stem from any incident, from HORMUZ-style NAVAL CLASHES AGZ IRGC GUERILLA NAVY, to IRAN-ORDERED/SUPPOR CONTINUING ATTACKS AGZ US-ALLIED MILFORS INSIDE IRAQ, .........@etc.

#12  RIAN/TOPIX > THE US WILL NOT ATTACK IRAN, but will try to prevent5 Iran from dev nuclear weapons ala MICHAEL CHERTOFF.

WORLD is once again reminded, by this artiiikle and many preceding, that IRAN DESIRES = HOLDS TENDER FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF UP TO 19 MORE NUC REACTORS.

#11  Just more evidencias/indicias that OSAMA > NO US
-WEST VERSUS ISLAM-ISLAMISM, ALL-OUT, "VICTORY OR DEATH/RULE OR DIE" END-TIMES APOCALYPTIC WAR IN IRAN = WAR AGZ US-WEST WILL GO ON INDEFINITELY, at least fir the duration of OSAMA's [+ prob ZAWI's, OMAR's, etc.] aligned, lifetime(s).

The official Iran websites are full of news and views denoting that DUBYA = USA can't or won't do anythiong anymore agz Iran = Iran's nuke ambitions. Many anticipate that a US DEMOCRAT will win the 2008 POTUS elex, and either make peace or unilater withdraw from the ME. IONW, ISLAM = RADICAL ISLAMISM WINS.

and they should know that we'd threaten to blow up Mecca if they do.
Fight fire with fire
what's sad is they would be more upset with our blowing up Mecca than killing people, sad how they don't value life.

#9  A few hundred thousand carefully conceived kills would renew the gasping fear a superpower should command...

Yeah, and about 10,000 to 15,000 kills here would go a long way to shutting up the damn commies in our midst!

First the traitors, then the enemy!

#8  A few hundred thousand carefully conceived kills would renew the gasping fear a superpower should command, but for some reason doesn't have the will to. The British empire existed quite happily for a couple hundred years using that, and other, simple techniques.

They don't want to hurt anybody.

#4  Our politicians will do nothing until we get hit. Again. And again. Then they will blame Bush.

#3  This sort of crap should be treated as a declaration of war and dealt with accordingly. These savages should be afraid of us. But we will do nothing.

#2  Now Hossein, you got me all wrong---I do not support Israel.

#1  Any bets on how big a play this gets in the MSM or Congress?

Maybe one of the candidates will bring it up.

Anyone?
