Ayatollah Threatens Retaliation If Iran Attacked

Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei went mouthing off at the United States on Thursday saying that he would strike U.S. interests all over the world if the U.S. attacks Iran.

Tehran's ambassador to the United Nations, Javad Zarif said that the U.S. was reaping "the expected bitter fruits of its ill-conceived adventurism. He went on to say,"But rather than face these unpleasant facts, the United States administration is trying to sell an escalated version of the same failed policy. It does this by trying to make Iran its scapegoat and fabricating evidence of Iranian activities in Iraq."  AP

   Of course, Bush crime Family says that it does not intend to attack Iran, but those of us who are use to Bush and his crap know better. It is just a matter of time.

Speaking to a gathering of air force commanders, Khamenei said: "The enemy knows well that any invasion would be followed by a comprehensive reaction to the invaders and their interests all over the world."                                                              "Some people say that the U.S. president is not prone to calculating the consequences of his actions," Khamenei said in remarks broadcast on state television, "but it is possible to bring this kind of person to wisdom."                            "U.S. policymakers and analysts know that the Iranian nation would not let an invasion go without a response," Khamenei added.

    We already know that Bush and the boys have probably cooked up a fantasy attack by Iran on a civilian plane or some other object so that Bush will have an excuse for attacking.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 — As he begins campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination, Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, is facing a threshold issue: Will his religion — he is a Mormon — be a big obstacle to winning the White House?

  Polls show a substantial number of Americans will not vote for a Mormon for president. The religion is viewed with suspicion by Christian conservatives, a vital part of the Republicans’ primary base.

Tim Russert, the Washington bureau chief for NBC News, yesterday swiftly and firmly rejected I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby's assertion that the journalist revealed the identity of an undercover CIA officer to him during a telephone call in the summer of 2003.

Testifying as the final, and perhaps most critical, prosecution witness in the perjury trial of Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff, Russert recounted their conversation that July and how a "very agitated" Libby called to complain about MSNBC's "Hardball." Russert said that the subject of the CIA officer, Valerie Plame, never came up and that he could not have told Libby anything about her.
