| Ahmadinejad: Forego Iran war 'chimera' |
| 2008-05-31 |
| Washington shall never abandon its 'chimera' of waging war against Iran but must beware of our crushing response, says Iran's president. Addressing high-ranking Iranian military commanders on Friday, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that like all other American presidents, George W. Bush will take his dreams of attacking Iran with him when he leaves office. "Whenever Bush entertains his chimerical thoughts, his military commanders paint him a lucid but terrifying picture of the consequences of striking Iran," added President Ahmadinejad. He then claimed that the US has never emerged victorious from any war it has waged and warned the Bush administration not to forget that Iranian forces 'will not only respond to any attack, but will also cut the hands of aggressors'. "Some countries have recently begun to acknowledge the Islamic Republic of Iran as a key regional power and say Iran's role must be considered in all equations, but the truth is that Iran has become an influential world power," President Ahmadinejad concluded. |

| #10 Question is, who did built that perception, if not the whole US entertainment-information complex, piggybacking on their (perceived) "Great Victory" of having the USA leave Viet Nam? #9 comment is excellent anonymous5089; Lest anyone forget how powerful the media traitors still are! I recognize how weary we all are, especially if you factor in the painfully sad *choices* lurking before us in this Presidential year. The stakes are so high and the MSM Tidal Wave of Lies and Distortions to install Barrack Obama as President is plainly building. But who knows what ELSE may be discovered about Obama and his entourage's past? At a minimum We Citizens can overcome our petty differences in-order to unite... At a minimum WE Citizens can be united voices for reason... At a minimum We Citizens can be united voices warning Citizens about what's at stakes for the USA.. At a minimum We Citizens can be united voices warning how corrupt the 4th estate is [MSM] |

| #9 He then claimed that the US has never emerged victorious from any war it has waged Shows how much the whole "Viet Nam" war meme is widespread and potent; this construct pretty much defines the view non-US (and many US) people have of the US military, and military might, and just a cursory glance at my various french blogs daily read shows me that both the left and the right see today's US soldier as what is depicted in the Viet Nam movies. This was only compounded by GWI, the Olympic Hotel ambush in mogadiscio, and even the 1999 serbia bombing campaign; I've just reread a RETEX (an after-action review) from the french military mag "Objectif doctrine" about fallujah's "Phantom fury" operation, very fair and informative IMHO, and that perception colored the views of both the insurgents and outside observators, notably the russians, who expected the US army to fail miserably in urban CQB, just as the russian advisers & designers of bagdhad's defenses back in 2003 expected the USA to stall in urban combat and be forced to choose between levelling the city or going back. Question is, who did built that perception, if not the whole US entertainement-information complex, piggybacking on their (perceived) "Great Victory" of having the USA leave Viet Nam? |

| #6 Long ago, we should have been broadcasting a "nuclear war" satellite channel to the ME. 24/7 of nuclear horror dramas, documentaries, and anything else we could add that would let them in on the secret. We could have even produced original programming so gross that about anyone would throw up after watching it. |

| #4 I'm impressed Iranian news knows the difference between 'shall' and 'will'. Updating a saying of my mother - The USA (or Israel) shall attack Iran, no one will stop them. |
