Ahmadinejad's recent remarks

[pcosmar]

Don't know about you, but this scares the shit out of me.

Why would coastal defenses scare you?

unless you plan on attacking.

lol.

I don't think he could do much damage with those few boat/planes

 

[jonhowe]

What's the range on those? 3, 4 miles?

Well, they are hardly stealth. I have no idea who called them that. They are a high speed patrol craft. They could be used as a short range attack craft.
They are not the only coastal defense,,just one craft in a multilayer defense.

Personally I think the Supersonic Carrier Killer Missiles are likely more effective. And they have a lot of them.

It's the neocons and the Jews that are obsessed with him. If we ignored him, and let him run his isolationist little theocracy into the ground, most of us would be perfectly happy.

Instead, we focus on him like he's our ex-girlfriend.

Yea he would go down if we ignored him but you know how some like to go in and screw the ex for revenge or something.

I think that having yet another war in the Middle East might be the end of our country as we know it.

Well maybe that is what we need to be brought down a notch. I think we are going down no matter what we do or who is in charge or what war we choose to fight.. Maybe it is best for the liberty movement that we cannot not be blamed for any of it because we are the main ones who have been saying not don't do that.

but since it is, they should stand on their own and face the consequences for their actions.

The US should not be involved regardless.

I agree with that.

lol, a flying boat with machine guns? Going up against Israel which is basically stock-piled with our hand-me-down's? C'mon this sounds like a straight-to-dvd movie!

They have a bit more than US hand-me-downs.

They have 200-400 nuclear warheads.

 

[showpan]

Did you not care about the Holocaust? I'm as anti war as anyone, but some of these statements made by Iran's leaders still concern me. And yes, I understand the translation issue, that the "wipe Israel off the map" comments may have been mistranslated. I hope that's the case.

The same "holocaust" that Chase financed?

Those aren't from us?

 

[MJU1983]

Who cares is what I say. Why?

Ahmadinejad isn't in charge - Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is. Ahmadinejad doesn't control Iran's nuclear strategy, armed forces or even foreign policy. In addition to Ayatollah Khamenei, he's outranked by the 12 members of the Guardian Council putting him 14th in command (of nothing really).

Oh come on. They are not for "going" anywhere. They are for coastal defense.
Iran has very little that could be used for offensive purposes.. They do have a fairly robust Defensive capability.
And they OWN the Straits of Hormuz
