Iran Says America's Bunker-Buster Bomb Could Set Off A Global Conflict
2012-08-01
Following last week's announcement from the U.S. Air Force that its 30,000 pound bunker-buster bomb, the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), was ready for action, Iran's state-owned media outlet PressTV has published an angry reply.

From PressTV:
Moves this week by the United States to position specialized massive "Penetrator" bombs for an attack on Iran clearly demonstrate a total lack of grasp by key players of the risks involved and the chain of events that will inexorably follow.

This week, a threat against Iran by the United States was published by the UK Telegraph. Peter Foster, of their Washington Bureau met with Mike Donnelly, US Air Force Secretary to question him about deployment of experimental "bunker buster" bombs...He has no combat experience and cannot fly an airplane. He is a perfect choice to run an Air force.

#1  The Bammer prefers diplomacy vee Iran, while Iran per se doesn't want War as it slowly but steadily nuclearizes. The Radical/Mad Mullahs in past have made it quite clear that any US-Iran War will be a War to the Death, a War of Unilateral iff not Mutual Annihilation [Mutual Destruction = MAD].

It must also be remembered that ...
> World Islam is out to avoid its own self-obsolescence + USSR-style implosion.
> Promise/Idealism of "Globalism" - the Major Nations-Powers of the World willingly share Power + Authority wid the Lessor - ergo, the dominant Judeo-Christian Powers share wid non-Judeo-Christian, e.g. ISLAM, ETAL.
> "Globalism" + OWG-NWO = consistent wid the concept of Islamist desired "Caliphate" = consistent wid the concept again f "Islamic /Muslim Superpower".

IRAN + ISLAM = among other, ask WHY SHOULD THE CHRISTIANS + JEWS [Israel] + BUDDHIST STATES [India, China] HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS, BUT NOT THEM?

The above being said, "GREAT GAME"/SUBSTITUTION OF NATIONS GOES ON IRREGARDLESS > LT major weakness, decline on the part of the econ troubled, Judeo-Christian US-WEST = SOMEONE(S) NEW MUST TAKE OVER AS LEADER, + Iran has no trouble iff its Iran.

IOW, LT NATIONAL WEAKNESS, DECLINE ON THE PART OF THE US IS PERHAPS THE GREATEST OR ULTIMATE THREAT TO THE US, AS IT WILL INSPIRE SMALLER BUT AGGRESSIVE NATIONS [Iran] TO EXPAND THEIR BORDERS + INFLUENCE, POLITICALLY ANDOR MILITARILY, TO THE DETRIMENT OR DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA ANDOR WORLD JUDEO-CHRISTIANITY.

* IIRC 1990's DISCOVERY OR "ANIMAL PLANET" > All thingys equal, IT IS THE DESTINY OF A LION KING TO BE OVERTHROWN, by his Own or by Outside Forces.

Iran will turn de facto militarily
"offensive/belligerent" once it is convinced the US = US-West are too weak to prevail. AT THIS TIME, IN THE PERSIAN GULF + STRAITS OF HORMUZ, IRAN DOES NOT INTEND TO ABSOLUTELY DEFEAT THE US, ONLY TO "NOT LOSE" - ITS BEST WEAPON IN DEFENSE OF ITS NUCPROGS ARE PEACE-MINDED POLITICIANS + DEDICATED SOCIAL ACTIVISTS, THE MSM-NET, + NERVOUSY TWITCHY EASY-TO-PANIC US CONGRESSCRITTERS. Iran doesn't have to sink all of the USN in the Gulf = SoH, just damage it enuff + US Polities, Institutions do the rest to Iran's benefit.
