uruloki’s lair

Anybody with half a brain has seen the increasing desperation from Iran as we successively surrounded them with democracies, albiet nascent ones. Now, they’rereacting with fear.

Iranian Defense Minister Ali Shamkhani warned that Iran might launch a preemptive strike against US forces in the region to prevent an attack on its nuclear facilities.

“We will not sit (with arms folded) to wait for what others will do to us. Some military commanders in Iran are convinced that preventive operations which the Americans talk about are not their monopoly,” Shamkhani told Al-Jazeera TV when asked if Iran would respond to an American attack on its nuclear facilities.

I believe that the reason that they are saying this now at this point is that they do not yet have nuclear weapons. By ralking about taking the first step, they are, however, hoping to delay us before we (or the Israelies) stop them permanently. If they did try any conventional attacks, the thing that they most want not to happen will probably happen since the only place they can strike us is in Iraq. The Iraqies would probably band together a lot faster against their traditional enemy (Arabs vs Persians).

Of course, if they think they can get away with it, they may be starting a bloodbath which will dwarf our current casualty situation and most likely decimate their population even worse than the Iran-Iraq war did.
