Iran does not 'give a damn' about your bombs, Ahmadinejad warns US
2012-03-11
Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made a defiant TV speech Sunday in which he taunted the West, saying the Islamic Republic is unfazed by the threat of Western military action.

"As God is my witness, the Iranian nation will not give a damn for [your] bombs, warships and planes," Ahmadinejad said in a televised speech in Karaj, west of Tehran, reported by the official IRNA news agency.

"They say all [options] are on the table. Well, let them rot there. You yourself will rot," he added.

The hard-line leader accused the US and other Western nations of bullying Iran, adding that the West "should talk politely, and recognize the rights of nations, and cooperate instead of showing teeth, and weapons and bombs."

#9  JM. A fairly grim assessment, but most probably accurate...It rather clouds the harsh fog of war even more--and begs closer monitoring IMHO. atroll.

#8  PAKISTAN DEFENCE FORUM > PENTAGON: NDN IS GREAT, BUT WE STILL NEED PAKISTAN.

Lest we fergit, Iran supposedly lays atop a "sea of oil", which strongly infers that as an Oil State it can weather the fluxes in [anti-US] world oil prices, + neither Russia nor China, etc. are likely to allow anything to interfere wid Iran's routine trade flows into or from the Gulf, be it by land, air, or sea.

STILL COMES DOWN TO THE US-VS-POLITICAL-LEGAL-ELECTORAL-JIHAD N AFPAK.

Lest we fergit II, the accused PAK AIR FORCE BGEN KHAN allegedly desired + conspired to set up an OVERT ISLAMIC/ISLAMIST STATE IN PAKISTAN, a Nuke-armed Muslim country many of whose Politicos + Military already covertly support Radical Islamism.

A US-Iran, or US-Israel-Iran, War need not begin wid Iran.

#6  "Let them rot there" > IMO this comment by Moud/Ahmadinejad supports my contention that as long as any US-NATO/Allied warships [ + airpower] stay offshore, + no ground invasion of Iran per se takes place, IRAN IS CONTENT TO CONTINUE ["as is"] WID DEV ITS NUCPROGS, ALA THE "JAPAN/EGYPT" MODELS. IOW, IRAN WILL GET ITS NUKES.

So did ancient Persia, so does modern Iran.

#3  Both sides with the tough guy talk. Tough guys are just as scared as everybody else. America would benefit from having the same respect for nuke and non-nuke countries.

#1  Apparently he doesn't know about Halliburton's secret weapons developments, such as Zombie reanimation, "Remote Jewing", herds of Veloci-raper dinosaurs and Hogzillas, "Monster X", and my favorite, "the thingy that makes you go 'SQUEEEE!'".
