Iran warns Western powers will regret sanctions
2010-02-17
[Mail and Globe] President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned on Tuesday that world powers would regret any moves to impose new sanctions on Iran, while stressing Tehran was still ready for a United Nations-brokered nuclear fuel-exchange deal.

Ahmadinejad's latest salvo at world powers came as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton toured the Gulf to earn backing for possible sanctions against Iran for defiantly pursuing its nuclear programme.

"If anybody seeks to create problems for Iran, our response will not be like before," the hard-line Iranian president told a packed news conference in the capital, Tehran.

"Something in response will be done which will make them [the world powers] regret" their move, he said.

Ahmadinejad said negotiations over a UN-drafted nuclear fuel exchange were "not closed yet", and expressed readiness to buy the material even from Iran's arch-foe, the United States.

Last year the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) proposed sending Iranian low-enriched uranium (LEU) abroad for further enrichment, denying Tehran refining capacity powers fear could be used to help build an atomic bomb.

#2  I admire the way you put it, Swamimote.

Mahmoud (Mudhead) warns that he is worried. He further worries that its gonna happen. And he knows its gonna hurt.

We will "regret" it? Mahmuddy definitely is.

Maybe we can make it hurt worse if Skinny at the WH were to actually do something ( like Leadership) definite for the dissidents in Iran...like fund them a little and ship in some guns. It isnt like we respect Iran all that much and they arent exactly liked by anyone else either...especially their neighbors.

There must be some Moslems somewhere who will put up a front for something "islamic" and nasty for Mahmud. False flags and chaos. What do we have in the swine candy basket?

Iran has Heroin problems...one out of every sixteen or so Iranians does dope. There is a LOT of Prostitution. They have a couple of whole Provinces down south where the Basj actually get shot by the busload by the drug dealers and then bombs go off. There is a lot of smuggling of foreign goods. That's an opening and an opportunity. There is a large community of Iranians in the West who dont care for the Mullahs and have family and business connections INSIDE. Recruiting them can be explored.

And there are ethnic divisions to exploit and loads of religious sects who are antsy. Let's introduce them to the same thing they do to others..and put a timer on it for a crowded Friday. Put it in a prayer rug....

What ARE we paying our Intell people for, their cheery smiles and their ruby lips? I want to see some well planned Thuggery not obsequious and supple backsides. Iran is a great big place with lots of borders, lots of vulnerabilities.

I know...why dont we prance like Democrats and sit on our PC arse.

They hate our guts and will kill your kids. And they are gonna get the Atomic and you can suck it when they do.

#1  His mouth just keeps on writing checks his ass can't catch.

His name translates out as "The Praised Descendant of the Most Highly Praised". His destiny is pulling that mahdi out of the well. or is aiming for cult status as actually being that mahdi. Either way, it's Froot Loops for breakfast today.
