Iran warns against an invasion by any country
2004-07-05
In comments directed at the United States, Iran's supreme leader warned Monday that his country can harm the interests of any invader, state-run Tehran television reported.
I don't think he's talking about duking it out with the Marines...
"The United States says that we have endangered their interests," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told a crowd of thousands on a visit to the city of Hamedan in western Iran. "If anyone invades our nation, we will jeopardize their interests around the world," Khamenei warned.
"Even as we're folding at home..."
The United States has accused Iran of aiding an anti-U.S. insurgency in Iraq, but there has been no explicit threat of an invasion or attack against Tehran. Washington also has warned that Iran is hiding a secret nuclear weapons program, an accusation denied by Tehran. Last month, U.S. President George W. Bush criticized Iran's Islamic autocracy, saying hard-line rulers must be defeated for trying to hold back the democratic will of a rising generation.

#9  Khamenei fails to comprehend that the beautiful innovation of the "guidance system" will allow us to cripple Iran without invading. We can probably just brodcast a radio signal to the effect that, "we will stop blowing up your trains once someone has taken the heads of the entire Guardian Council to the nearest bowling alley for mounting in clear acrylic by a certified AMF professional." I loved that part of Mystery Men.

Does the dinkus really think that the we don't have a guidance system that will home on the noise produced by the operation of a highspeed gas centrifuge?

#8  Are they going to drown our forces in their own blood the way the Iraqi's did? And the Taliban? Sounds like the usual Arabic blather. It's like when you were five and threatening to beat up your favorite uncle, you know, the one that's six four, who can stomp you like a bug.

Don't worry, assholes. You won't see us when we come to get you.

It will even be relatively painless for you. Unfortunately.
