Iran warns US against making 'strategic blunder'

Mon Jan 24, 1:12 AM ET Top Stories - AFP



TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran said it was not taking talk of a US attack seriously, but nevertheless cautioned Washington that military action against the Islamic republic would be a "major strategic blunder."


"It's nothing new. Once in a while America starts a psychological war," spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters in response to a hardening of the tone by US officials against Iran.


"The Islamic republic is strong enough and has the capability to defend itself, so we feel no danger or threat. We do not see it (a US attack) as likely, unless someone wants to make a major strategic blunder," he said.

1. It's not a blunder. It's a calculated failure

Bush wants to invoke a disastrous war with Iran because he thinks it will bring about The Armageddon.

He sees himself fulfilling the prophesies of The End Time.

[Orsino]

Aw, c'mon.

He doesn't *really* believe all that Christianity stuff, does he? Wasn't it simply a convenient package in which to sell his alleged conversion from ne'er-do-well to politician?

4. Absolutely.

This facade that ** is a Christian is a joke. It's a campaign tactic. Nothing more. Nothing less.

5. No, I think Bush is starting to buy the mantle...

Originally, he became 'born again' to keep his political life alive.

Whether he believes it or not, there are forces in his corner that do.

6. He is insane. He does not believe in the same 'Christianity" as you

or I know it. He believes the same mysterious force that has protected him his whole life (Big George) was in fact God and it is his destiny to be on of the chosen few. God Loves Him that is why he was born Rich. Check out this link for more clues to his madness:

[GOPFighter]

2. Is this the Iranian equivelant to "Bring it on!" ?

Talk about waving a red flag in front of the bulln (Rummie)!

unless someone wants to make a ANOTHER major strategic blunder
