The war of words between the US and Iran today escalated as Iran's supreme leader warned that Tehran would target American interests if attacked.

"The enemies know any aggression will give way to a wide reaction from Iranian people toward them and their interests in all parts of the world," Iranian state television quoted Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as saying.

The ayatollah Khamenei, who wields ultimate power in Iran, made his remarks amid growing speculation that the US will launch strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities.

"We believe that no one will make such an unwise and wrong move (to attack Iran) that would endanger their country and interests," Mr Khamenei said. "Some say that the US president is not the type who acts based on calculations or thinks about the consequences of his action. But even these people can be brought to their senses."..........

1. Are you kidding Khamenei?

He's even more insane than your boy Ahmedinejad

[gratuitous]

8. Well, the Ayatollah is a man of faith

And part and parcel with that is the notion that with God, all things are possible.

Likely? Well, that's another question entirely.

2. bush? Senses? Gotta have a car to have car trouble (n/t)

[Demeter]

3. Rendering Him Senseless Would Be More Sensible n/t

A play on words, folks. I wouldn't touch a hair on his teeny-tiny head (I don't want cooties).

4. PKB

The mullahs and Whabbi islam are a lot more mad and IMO causing a lot more pain than Bush.

[Benhurst]

6. Bush has engineered the murder of over 700,000 people in Iraq,

which makes him more than 100,000 times worse than Charles Manson. He's more than a match for the mullahs.

[Colobo]

9. Bush doesn't have the capacity

to engineer anything. He is a puppet of Cheney and PNAC.

[Benhurst]

10. Then he's just another Vidkun Quisling.

I wonder whatever happened to him.

[Benhurst]

5. The Ayatollah has much more faith than I in the possibility of

George W. Bush's being brought to his senses.

7. Well, he does have in common with * a faith based outlook,

rather than one based on emperical evidence (which would tend to contradict him).

11. You don't know him like we do.

We believe that no one will make such an unwise and wrong move (to attack Iran) that would endanger their country and interests," Mr Khamenei said. "Some say that the US president is not the type who acts based on calculations or thinks about the consequences of his action. But even these people can be brought to their senses."

We will pay the consequences of his actions. This doesn't bring him to his senses, in fact, it will make his cause even grander. None of these sons of bitches have yet to show any remorse for the suffering they've brought others.

12. overestimation of BushCo's senses

The PNAC boys (and girls) are barking mad. Poor Ayatollah Khamenei gives them too much credit.
