#1 Sounds like a threat. The question is, do they care to follow through?

(Reminder: Bahrain is the home of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet)

#2 The mullahs can dish it out, but they can't take it? That's because everything is an absolute - small minds don't have room for two possibilities©.

#3 As long as we are making fun of Ayatollahs here is a joke:
There was this drunk in Iran, he kept getting caught by the religious police who made him assume the position and give 15 lashes on his back side. This was a problem because he couldn't keep off the sauce. The owner of a tattoo parlor told him he had the answer. He would tattoo the portrait of Khomeini on one butt cheek and the portrait of Khamenei on the other. Since defaceing an official portrait of either was a capital crime the problem was solved!
The next day a religious policeman finds him drunk and demands he drop his pants. The policeman starts to "this cannot be, what is the meaning of this?" Then he really starts flogging away, the drunk yells"Isn't defaceing an official portrait a capital offense?"
The angry officer says,"Yes but this CANNOT be an official portait since it portrays AN ENOURMOUS GAP between our glorious leaders!"
