#1 His spews in threats come faster than any UN resolutions ever had. He should be taken for his words and held responsible for the consequences. That's the only way to deal with islamo-bullies. Start with say, the US asking for a full apology for being called "The Great Satan" and the hostage 444 days in torment from the evil Ayatollah Calumny.

#2 Diplomats from six countries ...are due to meet over dinner Tuesday to discuss Iran.

Have we tried offering them the Sudentenland? Or maybe the entire country formerly known as Czechoslovakia? We could have Peace in Our Time!

#4 A Pepto-bismol reduction? You could be shot for the colour alone, Seafarious! The very thought of carmelized Pepto is nausea-making -- ick!

#6 Just what the Fuck is an ultra-horizon weapon? This sounds as laughable as that green lawn mower powered flying contraption they wheeled out the other week, or as dumb as thier non existant super stealthy scud, rofl or their nuke program actually being completed, or even the speedboats of doom. What ever next eh - im betting it'll be something equally stupid

#7 Even their boasts have to be in the SUPERLATIVES for the loutish islamo street mob mentality is part and parcel of their Creed's culture.

more news from Iran:

From regimechangeIran

"For the second time in a week protesting workers from 4 textile factories who had not received salaries in 13 months blocked the transit road between the cities of Kashan and Bandar Abbass. READ MORE

The regime-run news agency, ILNA's workers reporter, before the Norouz holidays the workers had threatened that if the issue of their back pay is not resolved, they will not allow for work to start up again in the new year, 1385*. In view of the lack of resolution to this issue, on April 3rd, the workers gathered inside their respective factories and refused to work.

As a result of the ongoing negligence of the factory management therefore, the workers of the 4 factories gathered on Sunday, April 9th and blocked the transit road; after a couple of hours however the regime's security and disciplinary forces intimidated the workers into disbanding.

The ILNA report also states that the workers representatives were to meet with the factories management groups on Tuesday, April 11th, however the management of neither factory was willing to meet with groups of workers. The workers therefore blocked the same transit road again on Tuesday."

#9 the bus transit workers went on strike and the MM's thugs arrested a bunch, including the "union" leaders (actually, IIRC the union is prohibited, prolly some hadith or fatwa), but the tensions are simmering. A long hot summer with power outages, shortages, a crashing stock market might make a huge crackdown ineveitable. THEN the decapitation airstrikes and attacks on MM assets could win hearts/minds

#12 "Ultra-horizon" is probably a mistranslation, intended meaning probably "over-the-horizon".

#13 Liberalhawk:

"who had not received salaries in 13 months..."

I think you have identified a key point behind Ahm_an_Idjit's rantings (probably not a properly respectful term to use on this site.) The classic response to internal problems is to identify/create an external threat so the people's attention can be diverted from failings of the powers in charge. I suspect similar problems in China will soon lead to escalating threats against Taiwan.
