| Iran discounts 'attack by Israel' | ||
| 2008-06-22 | ||
| Iran has said it considers a military attack on its nuclear facilities by Israel as "impossible". "Such audacity to embark on an assault against the... territorial integrity of our country is impossible," said spokesman Gholam Hoseyn Elham.
Iran insists that its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes. It has repeatedly rejected demands to halt enriching uranium, which can be used as fuel for power plants or material for weapons if refined to a greater degree. The head of the UN's nuclear watchdog, Mohammed ElBaradei, meanwhile said an attack would put Iran on a "crash course" to building nuclear weapons and would turn the region "into a fireball". He said he did not believe there was any "imminent risk" of proliferation by Iran given the current status of its nuclear programme. In an interview with Al Arabiya television, Mr ElBaradei said that if any military action was taken against Iran he would find it impossible to continue as the head of the IAEA.

| #3 Iran can talk to Syria about how impregnable their territorial integrity proved to be. And thank you Mohammed ElBaradei for making it clear to the world where your allegiance lies. Another rat smoked out. |

| #1 'Such audacity to embark on an assault against the... territorial integrity of our country is impossible,' Hmm. Seems to me that an Iraqi leader uttered such sentiments about invasions at least a couple of times before his life came to an abrupt end not too long ago. And I notice ElBaradei is playing the well-worn "middle east time bomb" card. Screw that. It's just another delay tactic called for in the spirit of taquiyya. I hope US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan crack open a well-timed six-pack of whoopass on them when the time comes. I imagine Israel getting all kinds of US assistance, including warning of missile launches over Afghanistan, anti-missile help, the bigger bunker busters, and maybe even coming up with some ideas that help during planning. Just muzzling Rice would help a lot. Screw arab media reports because it's all just a charade anyway unless Iran's government and the supporing sycophantic radicals get smacked down in a meaningful way. And if Iraq wants to make a friend out of Iran, they'll get wholeheartedly involved in cutting out the mullocracy cancer there, who are just smiling at them until they get a surprise nuke test that works. If the one in NorK wasn't the intentionally detuned successful test they were looking for already. I imagine Iran may well launch biological or chemical attacks on both countries in an effort to make the US pay for this, so both countries had better knock off the posturing rhetoric and think about how they are going to deal with this. I'm sure a big part of the answer will be anti-missile systems that too many self-loathing Dems are so desperately trying to neuter even today. And what does ElBaradei mean by his statement that he couldn't continue to head the IAEA if Iran were attacked? So what? Unless the Arab world is receiving some sort of value by having his Arab a$$ filling the position, of course. |
