“If the Islamic Revolution had not occurred, liberalism and Marxism would have crushed all human dignity in their power-seeking and money-grubbing claws. Nothing would have remained of human and spiritual principles,” he added.

Imanutjob had one thing right, Reagan won in part due to their attack on our embassy. Who knows what would have happened had Jimmah gotten another term? I shudder to think the possibilities: Russia smashes Afghanistan and set its sights on the Middle East, Israel and NATO, while Jimmah wimpers under the Oval Office desk. Our economy continues tanking… That’s just for starters. Yeah. Liberalism and Marxism crushing all human and spiritual resistance.

But he’s wrong about Shia saving the world. If and when Mahdi spawns, he’s going to find himself sent back to hell post-haste. Obummer had better hope and pray that he’s out of office by then – impeachment for treason and dereliction of duty won’t be pretty. On second thot, he’d better haul tail out of this country, ala Aristide or Mobutu, for sanctuary in Norway or wherever they’ll take him. Cuz if these libtards think they can prosecute Bush/Cheney over Iraq, then prosecuting Obambi/Biden is definitely fairplay for willfully palavering w/the enemy instead of containing Imanutjob.

…a strike on the US with a missile would be nearly impossible.

I wouldn’t expect they’d try an ICBM. We have deliberately porous borders and ports, and the world knows it.

And yes, Israel is first on their list.

And no, I don’t care that Iran’s Liar-in-Chief has kept his Twelver enthusiasm “unquoted,” his affiliations are clear, and you can’t honestly think he gives a damn for the suffering of his own people.

…what have we showed him demonstrated? We’ve showed him demonstated…

Showed ‘em, real good!

Go ahead and do your worst. But before you do, know this.

“The Trident D-5 has a maximum range of 12,000 km (7,456 miles), similar to that of silo-based systems, and has a payload as large as 2,800 kg. Its payload carries a Post-Boost Vehicle (PBV) which can carry 8 to 12 Reentry Vehicles (RVs), though the first Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START I) limits the number to eight. These RVs can either be the Mk 4 with a W76 100 kT yield warhead or the Mk 5, which has a W88 475 kT yield warhead. The missile is almost certainly equipped with countermeasures. The system uses an inertial navigation system combined with a stellar reference system that provides an extremely high accuracy of 90 m CEP. The missile has a length of 13.42 m, a width of 2.11 m, and a launch weight of 59,090 kg. It uses a three-stage solid propellant engine.”

That’s a description for the business end of a Trident D5 missile. Each missile can deploy 8 nuclear weapons during its flight. Fly…drop…fly…drop, you get the point. Each Ohio class Submarine carries 24 of these missiles. We have 14 Ohio class Submarines.

How many Submarines do you have?

Nope.

Iran’s Anti-Christ Superstar (Mahdi) mythology aside, Mahmood isn’t quoted as saying he’d be willing to see 50% of his own population die to fight America. He said that he’d do it to see the final extermination of the Jews. That, and a strike on the US with a missile would be nearly impossible. Their ICBM program is still rough, and doubtlessly primitive, when compared to ours. Even with Soviet (Russsian) help, they’d stand very little chance of firing a missile that could really threaten the CONUS, even with our current bumbler in chief asleep under his desk. Only through terrorists or military personnel smuggling a device in, is that more likely to happen. Pointing out Israel’s geographic size is just plain stupid on par with Obama, when he used that line about Iran. “Tiny” Israel defeated the ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST AT ONCE, or don’t you remember that? And they did it in less than a week (ii.e.Six Days). They still weep and gnash their teeth over that laughable ass whipping. The enemy of the muslim is the Jew, primarily, in their minds, and they’ve got the world’s biggest supply of them right next door. Israel MAY be a nuclear power (prove it), but probably don’t have the layers upon layers of defenses the US has against that kind of attack.

All he knows how to do is talk. Our enemies have sized him up and know he will do nothing.

Is Nuclear Suicide worth the price of destroying the Great Satan … ?

The Shi’ite clowns in Iran have a messiah myth, the Mahdi, that they believe will return to rule and guide the world in a time of global chaos and destruction, and their president is a member of a group dedicated to deliberately bringing about that chaos and destruction.

And yes, we are a primary target.

Everyone, almost reflexively, says Israel. But is this true?

Israel is no larger than New Jersey. If Iran wants to destroy Israel it would not take many nuclear bombs to do so.

Why is Iran embarking on its path only to get a handful of nukes which they will then immediately use on Israel?

Jerusalem is Islam’s 3rd Holiest city. In Islamic eschatology, the coming Mahdi (Shia Islam’s 12th imam) will establish Jerusalem as the capital of the worldwide Caliphate.

Would the Govt of the Islamic republic nuke the future capital of their future leader’s empire?

Does Iran call Israel the Great Satan. No. The United States is the Great Satan.

Iran will only have one chance to use nuclear weapons against its target. It knows will face retaliation and so it must choose this target wisely.

Is Nuclear Suicide worth the price of destroying the Great Satan.. the main obstacle to a Global Caliphate?

or is Iran going to destroy itself just to destroy Israel… leaving the United States in power to keep Sharia law from gaining global predominance?

I believe the United States is the nuclear target of Iran. Israel is just misdirection

“The Islamic Revolution opened a window to liberty for the human race, which was trapped in the dead ends of materialism,” Ahmadinejad said during a cabinet meeting on Sunday.

That’s a good laugh, coming from someone who has spent the last decade devoting all of his time and effort on producing a nuclear weapon, while his people can’t get enough petrol to heat their homes and drive their cars.

Under the Obama administration, Iran has become bolder and bolder.

Zero would bow to Armageddonjihad’s pet goat.
