from CNN.com:
Quote:
state-run Press TV quoted Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday as saying that the nation will deliver a harsh blow to "global arrogance" on February 11.


and from the Guardian.co.uk:
Quote:
US raises stakes on Iran by sending in ships and missiles
Tension between the US and Iran heightened dramatically today with the disclosure that Barack Obama is deploying a missile shield to protect American allies in the Gulf from attack by Tehran.

The US is dispatching Patriot defensive missiles to four countries – Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Kuwait – and keeping two ships in the Gulf capable of shooting down Iranian missiles. Washington is also helping Saudi Arabia develop a force to protect its oil installations.


side note: what I thought was sad was the chart on the side of the CNN story showing the most popular articles and of the three of the five listed were about the Grammys, #2 was about the Toyota recall, and #3 was about the Obama budget

Nuking the oil fields somewhere would be quite a statement....hell nuking anything would be lol...

As for fear mongering...I dunno man...a bunch of durkas handing out nukes to those that dislike us doesn't sound like such a wonderful thing.

Iran seems like all talk these days. I would bet they're not even going to do a nuke test, underground or otherwise, but he's just yapping about how all the people in the streets will "stick it to the man" by protesting everything western. I mean I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was a test, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it was a few years from now instead either. Anyway 1 more day until we see what the fuck he's yappin about, if anything.

Hope I'm not tempting fate there, but given his track record.

I would kind of wonder what kind of retaliatory response there would be from the west if they nuked an oil field or two.

They're not going to nuke anything ya'll. They want to KEEP power. Could be a test, probably bullshit.

Clearly, Iran is about to announce a clearly articulated, efficient and affordable system of universal health care.

Take that, US!

Yeah I think the big announcement was they finally had weapons grade material.

Either they're working way slower than previously thought, or they're bluffing and have stuff hidden away somewhere.

If Bush had not gotten us bogged down in Iraq, maybe Iran might be a bit intimidated. But right now, we would have trouble invading Rhode Island.
