#3 ..assuring them that while such an attack would annihilate Israel, it would cost them "damages only".

I wonder, does this asshole know what kind of "damage" would be dispensed in return for a nuclear attack?

#4 Interesting to contrast how NO leader of any western country ever, ever, calls for the annihilation of any other country, yet these scumbags complain that the west is attacking the muslims.

"Damages only." Doesn't he realize that destroying Israel is signing the death warrant for the entire region? Hell....even ATTACKING Israel would mean the end of their regime.

#5 Foreign Policy in Iran is as clear as glass. I don't give them credit for honesty, however, for it is a matter of not knowing how to effectively lie like dogs, not realizing we're paying attention, that we have been lied to by the best - Advertisers - so one must be extraordinarily wily to slip one over on the TV generations... So no, it's not a point of honor that he speaks frankly. Ol' Raffy speaks his mind secure in the belief that his shit doesn't stink and that we're all stupid - nothing more.

#6 I think he must be mistaken if he thinks his country will still exist if Isreal is hit with a nuclear weapon. His thinking however is standard for the moon cult of death.

#7 Anyone see this on the evening news? I bet is Sharon said Israel will nuke Iran (or Germany) it would be the lead story. Could it be our beloved press corps has one code of conduct for ourselves and another for those who will destroy us?

#8 Someone needs to make it crystal clear that, should Israel take even a single nuclear hit, all other surrounding Islamic nations would be left uninhabitable for centuries, if not millennia. Even if Israel's arsenal were somehow crippled, western nations should retaliate in their stead out of sheer principal.

How Europe can countenance this sort of bellicose rhetoric and simultaneously convince themselves that Iran has no aspirations for nuclear weapons goes beyond incredible. This sort of outright rallying cry for nuclear conflict must be regarded as the threat to regional stability that it is.

Having been sucked into the power vacuum created by Saddam's expulsion, the Iranian mullahs are outgassing at a ferocious rate. The ever-expanding ferocity of their diatribes should be taken quite seriously. Even if it is only to provide a convenient excuse for bombing the living shit out of them.
