Ahmadinejad: The Countdown To The Destruction Of Israel Has Begun; We Hope To Move Towards Jerusalem

In a speech marking the anniversary of the founder of the Islamic revolutionary regime Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said, "Thanks to the Lebanese and Palestinian peoples, the countdown to the destruction of Israel has begun, and we will soon witness the destruction of the Zionist regime."

I'madumbjihadi never ceases to amaze.
 
Here's another story that tells a slightly different translation, but with the same message:

Iran president sees "countdown" to Israel's end

More evidence that it is just a matter of time before the U.S. and/or Israel go to war with Iran. And possibly an allusion to Iran's future nuclear weapons capabilities.

For what? America is already loaded up in Iran's backyard for just this eventuality. Irans ambitions were known long before this guy started blowing his horn and America has stationed itself there to have a base of operations.

With the rumblings of war already taking place, with these tit-for-tat hostage takings and minorly reported border happenings, things are already beginning to roll.

Does anyone else notice the resemblence, especially around the eyes?

I don't know if you have noticed, but we're spread out way too thin militarily already. What do you expect us to do if we get in a conflict with Iran? Move all our troops from Iraq? Wouldn't that go against the "Republican" view of the war in Iraq and be a "cut and run" tactic? We DON'T have enough troops to get involved with Iran right now, simple fact. Their army is huge, and ours is spread thin.

That's why I think a draft is a huge possibility. Although I've been wrong in the past and I'll fully admit to that.
 
What comes to mind when you think of pushing the button to the countdown to destruction. Hmmmmm 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Launch, of what? What is he implying. And how long does the rest of the world wait to see if its a bluff or if Irans intentions are to do as they say they will do, wipe Israel off the map?

Some people say we should have a dialogue with Iran. Some people had a dialogue with Hitler. Some people are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.

I think Israel's hand is being forced. Israel will have to attack Iran first. That is what Ahmademonjihad wants. Israel will be condemned by the rest of the world. What can they do? Sit back and wait for the nukes?
 
When either the US or Israel do strike I would think that there might be a few more "clashes" along the Iran-Iraq border.

For some reason I don't see any other way around this either....I call assassination and subsequently demand that the special ops that does it take a home video of it. For nostalgic reasons of course.

I wouldn’t go as far as the video.
I'd make it look like an Iranian group carried it out......;)

Well I have read that their is a resistance group in Iran that hates being a Islamic Republic as wants a democratic country. I think we should back them.

Hell yeah. There is plenty of dissent against the religious traditionalists over there. Similar to the hippie movement in the U.S.'s recent past.

Their army is huge? The only part of the army that's huge is the civilian part. They have 1/3 of the active professional troops that we have.

IMO, our army isn't spread thin quite yet. Of our active army of 1.5 mil, not even 200,000 are in Iraq. They've been on rotations the past 4 years, and they may be getting worn out, but if all out war with Iran came about, we could double their active troops on their own soil without much problem. Not that we'd even need to, because our air and navy would put theirs to shame.

Militarily the US is spread exactly the way they planned to be spread; bordering Iran to the North, to the South, to the East and to the West.

There's no need to move out of Iraq, the whole point of being there being, having a base of operations right next door. In Iraq, in Afghanistan in Azerbajain (sp?) and in the Persian Gulf.

I don't think our active armed forces is close to 1.5 million these days, is it? I think maybe about half that number.

Approximately 1,426,713 personnel are currently on active duty in the military with an additional 1,259,000 personnel in the seven reserve

So says Wikipedia...

A huge, poorly trained, poorly equipped force. Our army and marine force have the best technology in the world and are backed by the most powerful navy and air force in the world. Iran's army would be utterly decimated. Not that we could succesfully occupy the country afterword, as the quagmire in Iraq has shown, but we their regular armed forces would be completely pummeled.

and when the army decides they should take off the uniforms and blend in with civilians, what usually results?

From the instances in Iraq, it appears chaos and disorder. Our military isn't designed to occupy countries. Its designed to win wars with an enemy that no longer exists.

Besides, since everyone loves to make the analogy with Hitler to Mr.Ahmadinejad


The Nazi's had superior technology too.

Point being is, our old world thinking toward this new world problem isn't going to work (short of the glass parking lot idea-which is totally absurd anyway) we are at "war " with ideas, and economies, and political relationships.

sometimes the best thing to do in these situations is to simply wait and let the natural order follow through.

That'd be why I said we won't be able to occupy the country, only that their army (those that don't go into hiding to start a guerilla war) will be demolished.

So...are we the Nazis? Because Iranian technology doesn't compare to ours.

Then I misinterpreted your statement, but that leaves open a new question, what do you do after you effectively derailed a running government? Do you pick up and leave? Is that strategically good thing to do? The population being pro USA is more of a western media show parade than fact. The population is moderately accepting of some of America's values-doesn't mean they're ready to hail US intervention in their governmental affairs.

Out of context-don't you think? The point that is being made is that just because we can beat their army doesn't mean we win the war. War is the ultimate form of diplomacy-literally forcing your diplomatic will on another country to achieve x outcome. If you think of it as anything else you're probably delusional.
