Iran's foreign minister: "U.S. can't afford another war"


news.yahoo.com
UNITED NATIONS - Iran's foreign minister said Wednesday the United States is not in a position to attack his country because Washington cannot afford another costly war in the region.

Manouchehr Mottaki accused President Bush's administration of engaging in "psychological war" and had raised the option of a military strike every six months over the last two years.

You have a point.

With the U.S. being 9tril in debt as opposed to 5tril in debt 8 years ago it seems that the leaders in power have given up on contributing to the bank completely or working with the bank to crash the U.S. economy. But what I cant seem to understand is why (if we were working with the bank) they would let the country drive itself so in debt unless it was either a false front to make ourselves look like we were going in debt... or in fact we are going in debt. To sum this up, I believe the newly created U.S. debt is infact a newly created illusion for a new world war.

Do you really think it will stop there? Its doubtfull.

Plus its likely that it too late unless they are going to use the nuclear bunker buster option. Iran has not been sitting on its hands

Yes they probably will because they know if they try to fight us they will get bombed into the stone age.

as much as i want to sit here and debate this its 2.30 am
so good night

but i will leave with this comment

Read Weapons forum on Irans Missile systems, which are capible of striking US vessels in the gulf (Silk worm and so on, mach 2+ missiles)
SAM systems and so on

Iran have teath unlike their neigbour

and my term wont take it sitting on their rear = they will fight back and take alot of your boys with them before they go. (doesnt imply stop the nut cases but put up a fight)

do some research on persions

and read past Iranian topics on ATS as most of this has been talked about and repeated so much over and over again (there are lit 100s of attack Iran topics on ats)

No thermobaric bombs would work for caves etc. But deeply hardened underground structures are not really at risk by those types which rely more on flame (oxygen depletion, etc) than by outright shock damage.

Also the stuff is spread out and the Alburz mountain range would provide a ton of hiding places like Tora Bora. Can't get them all eh?

As far as nuclear release goes, I have no doubt you have no issue with it, but how how about out allies in the area? The notion that the radiation is ontained is bogus and you run the risk of contaminating not only our troops but other friendlies in the area as well.

In as far as the statment someone made (Not you) that Iran is not Iraq, he is 100% correct. Its far far worse. There is no supressed mmajority welcoming us, rather the whole population will be hostile. ill the US roll over the Iranian military? without a doubt, but to garrison the country? Given how well things are working in Iraq someone would have to be seriously deluded to think that Iran would be any better.
