Tehran- Not Afraid of the US...
Evidently, Baghdad Bob has been giving lessons how to be a good Information Minister, if the latest blatherings of the Iranian Defense Minister is any indication.
Oh, but wait. They're not afraid of anyone or anything. So... no worries, right?
"We can say we have developed a might that no country can attack us because they do not have accurate information about our military capabilities," said Shamkhani, whose comments were released Tuesday.Hmmm... I seem to remember Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf saying the same sort of thing- as Coalition forces were rolling into Baghdad.
"We have produced equipment at a rapid pace with the minimum investment that has resulted in the greatest deterrent force," the ministry quoted Shamkhani as saying.
Hersh wrote that he had repeatedly been told by intelligence and military officials, on condition of anonymity, that "the next strategic target was Iran."He says that like it's a bad thing. The jury is still out as to whether Iran's nuclear program is purely for generating electricity or something more nefarious. Then there's this little gem-
The man who led Saddam Hussein's "Army of Muhammad" during 2004 has confessed that Iran is the primary source of funding for his jihadists battling U.S. forces in Iraq.Add onto that the payback a lot of Americans think they're due because of the whole hostage fiasco, and we've got a few steamrollers (with names like 4th ID and 10th Mountain Division) with their name on it. Me thinks they need to cooperate a little more with the IAEA.
Oh, but wait. They're not afraid of anyone or anything. So... no worries, right?
