Trash Dispatch: From digg.com, “Iran Promises Missiles Will Fly If U.S. Attacks”. A Telegragh.co.uk. story submitted by digger “michaelstokes”, and written by Tim Shipman, reports;
“Iran has threatened to retaliate with missile attacks if Western forces launch raids against the Islamic state’s nuclear programme — putting on a defiant show of military force to back up the message.”
Trash Dispatch: Later in the Telegraph article, Shipman writes that this “defiant show of military force”, “included a flypast by three Saegheh jet fighters and armoured vehicles, one of which bore the slogan “Death to America”.”
So let’s see, 3 planes, armored *vehicles -plural; meaning more than one- and only one of the *Two or more* vehicles were painted with “Death to America”? Hmmm? That would indicate that the Iranians are in desperate need of Paint! Which is probably caused by the economic sanctions?
At any rate. The report continues saying;
“The Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, addressed a military parade in Teheran and mocked threats from the United States, while the head of the Revolutionary Guards said Iran would “pull the trigger” if attacked.”
“Their bellicose intervention came as officials in Washington warned that time was running out for the secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, to “get a result” from diplomacy or hand the initiative to White House hawks who want military action.”
Further;
“In a message directed at Western diplomats, he told the crowds: “Those who think that by using such decayed tools as psychological warfare and economic sanctions, they can stop the Iranian nation’s progress are making a mistake.”
“The parade also featured medium-range ballistic missiles which are capable of hitting Israel or US bases in Iraq and the wider Gulf region.”
“Asked how Iran would respond if any country allowed its territory to be used as a base for an attack, Mohammad Ali Jafari, the head of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards, said: “You have seen the -missiles. Just pull the trigger and shoot.” “
“He added: “Our message to the enemies is: Do not do it.
They will regret it, as they are regretting it in Iraq.” “
Trash Dispatch: Alright, enough is enuff. So just hold it right there.
In the first place, The United States Doesn’t Regret Attacking Iraq, or even kicking Iraq’s Republican Guard Ass. The only thing that the Americans regret, is trying to “help” Iraq, After the war.
In deed we can see now where it would have been better to have allowed all the terrorist of the world, including Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to take possession of Iraq so that we could have Nuked them all in one spot. But to say that we regret having started the “War in Iraq”, as it is called, is just plain ignorance.
Americans Love to fight. And hell, we don’t even care what the fight is about. Or even if it is good or bad, right or wrong, as long as it is good enough, or rather Bad enough, and Big enough, to get us up off our couches and do something other than watch morons like self-proclaimed prophet Mahmoud Ahmadinejad thump his chest and rattle his knife in attempt to gain the respect of a people who really don’t care if he lives or dies, as long as he keeps providing good television.
In deed, the so-called “War in Iraq”, is nothing more than a skirmish for Americans. And one that we have become Bored with. And even ashamed of, as, we should have just gone in there, with Ruthlessness, and Killed Everybody in sight so that there would have been No Misunderstandings as to “who” is in charge. And that’s the real reason this war has gone down hill.
Taking out Iraq was barely more than a Sneeze for the American Military. So that in effect, since there was never any “Great Military Victory”, there was never any Satisfaction.
Well, President Bush did “try”, to declare satisfaction with his “Mission Accomplished” speech on board the Aircraft Carrier, USS Abraham Lincoln.
But the Democrats soon took that away from the Americans with their own declarations of “the War is Lost”. And, “we need to get out”. “Head for the Hills”. “Hide under your Beds”.
But PLEASE, Mr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad! Make No Mistake! The American people were never ever really satisfied in their thirst for blood (thanks to the Democrats). And I fear that anything more than your hollow threats, will be More than enough to excite the American people again to fight. But that this time, they will not be so willing to show mercy, even to the Iranian people, as we have Learned, “mercy”, does not reward. In truth and in deed, it only causes room for dissension. And that, is where the Bush Administration went wrong in it’s handling of the War in Iraq.
War is not a game! And it should Never be fought with reservation. When I saw President Bush’s “Shock and Awe”, truly I was in shock and awe. As I knew, we were in trouble.
Targeting only military targets, is a war between governments. And by the will of the people, this should Never be allowed. Only in the targeting of both military and civilian targets alike, can a war be truly of the people.
BEWARE, Mr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
For the American people are Angry!
Even, at themselves!
