Isn't this the same shit Saddam spewed right before A-10 Thunderbolts reduced his tank armies to molten puddles?

You overestimate the effectiveness of 70's era soviet surplus weaponry...

Ahmedinejad is not looking for a fight. He's not an idiot you know. He knows his country don't have the military might to take on either the US or Israel. He is talking big because Israel have been doing military maneouvres in the Mediterranean. Don't let the hype get to you. He ain't ready to strap on a suicide belt any millennium soon. All he's saying is that he'd basically lob a load of missiles at Tel Aviv IF IRAN GOT ATTACKED.

Iran is just as guilty of doing multiple military excercises within the last couple of years as messages to the US.

But he should be saying he'd lob a load of missiles at Tel Aviv if Iran got attacked by Israel.

You underestimate the power of Iran's missiles.

Those a not a bunch of scud like saddam had..  they are accurate and deadly.

Your fleets are sitting ducks in the Persian Gulf...  and your leadership knows it.

Why do you think you didnt attack yet?

of course...

Iran has had to domestically produce all of it's military equipment since 1979, their most modern aircraft is the SU-25, of which they have less than 40.

We haven't attacked because we haven't yet found good reason to do so, not because their forces are so formidable.

You are forgetting about our own missile defense systems that are on our ships.

If we attack though, I believe it'll just be an attack on the nuclear facility.  And Iran won't know what hit them and that'll shut them up.

Can you blame them when the US army is on their western and eastern borders?

You OVERestimate the power of Iran's missiles.

They are basically Iran's version of the al-Hussein...a pimped-out Scud produced indigenously. Neither accurate nor deadly...unless you happen to be where it randomly lands (kind of like getting struck by lightning)

The PG isn't exactly a small place...it's not like those ships can't maneuver...or defend themselves.

Why haven't we attacked yet? Because diplomacy is still being attempted.

The difference between Saddam and Achmadinejad ( sp?) is that Achmadinejad is actually smart enough not to throw the first punch, because he knows he'll get smoked, and taken his fancy suits and government and everything else away from him.

But he doesn't want to look like a US puppet either, and so he engages in more or less friendly diplomatic banter, trying to dragg out this conflict for as long as possible without escalation, until Iran has nuclear weapons. Then he'd really be in a position of strength.

His only problem is, this process of developping weapons-grade nuclear material and the subsequent development of missiles etc to carry that material ( and hence make it a threat ) is going to take another couple of years. And he must know that the israelis are never going to stand for that.

So he is essentially doomed, whatever he does. I think at the moment, he is simply trying to buy more time. In the end though, he will have to make a decision about the nuclear ambitions of his nation. Let's hope he is wise enough...

I don't think the French, Brits or Germans have any appetite for military action. As such, they will 'stand for that'.

And the US has mind-reading death rays.

See how bullshit propaganda works?

I guess that would depend on the particular situation. if the legal situation around Iran's use  of nuclear technology remains the same though, I don't know how military action against Iran could be justified.

The US and israel could stand alone under these circumstances.

To be fair, the US did research the mind reading stuff to (presumably) no success.
