The Ayatollah Regime, in Iran, has gotten away with murder since 1979. American Presidents of both parties have tried to kiss their asses and turn a blind eye to their trouble making. Iranian IEDs killed US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan with no retaliation. Feeling overconfident, Iran is now threatening “action” if a US aircraft carrier returns to the Persian Gulf.
TEHRAN Jan 3 (Reuters) – Iran will take action if a U.S. aircraft carrier which left the area because of Iranian naval exercises returns to the Gulf, the state news agency quoted army chief Ayatollah Salehi as saying on Tuesday.
“Iran will not repeat its warning … the enemy’s carrier has been moved to the Sea of Oman because of our drill. I recommend and emphasise to the American carrier not to return to the Persian Gulf,” Salehi told IRNA.
“I advise, recommend and warn them (the Americans) over the return of this carrier to the Persian Gulf because we are not in the habit of warning more than once,” the semi-official Fars news agency quoted Salehi as saying.
This is what happens when you allow a nation to punk you time and time again. The Iranians feel emboldened and, thanks to the support the Transnational Progressives give them, who can blame them?
I am not an interventionist type, but free flow of goods and the un-harrassed passage of American ships is a red line for me. Iran should be told that if they even try taking out a carrier or any one of our ships, that their nation will be destroyed in ways unimaginable. I doubt this will happen since we have Eunuchs (both parties) running this nation. The US is run by a bunch of feminized metrosexuals. No one on the political scene has the balls to put Iran in its place.
On a related note, it turns out Iran is hyping its capabilities. It turns out many of the photos and video clips are exaggerated.
Seyyed Mahmoud Moussavi, Iranian Military Drills Spokesman, stated “Both missiles hit the intended targets successfully.”
It turned out the missiles weren’t that long range after all.
The Qhader missile, introduced in September, has a range of just 124 miles. The U.S. Navy’s fifth fleet in Bahrain is 150 miles from Iran. Israel is four times farther.
“We’ve seen that they’ve photoshopped, for example, photographs of missile tests before to make it look more impressive than it actually is, so I would take all this with a grain of salt. I think this is mainly posturing. It’s gamesmanship. And it’s again meant to send a message that the Iranians aren’t simply going to sit back while their oil is sanctioned,” said Michael Singh, Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
Iran is playing with fire. The US should hit them with an Iron Fist!

Sink their puny navy, and see what they do without one. They can’t fight us in the air or on the sea. Obama, of course, will probably appologize to the fuckers…
I think we need to return to the Gulf forthwith, even if we had no previous plans to do so, and dare them of take action.

Was idly thinking, what a way for iran to announce its joining the nuclear club, by detonating a suicide speed boat or aircraft hosted nuclear bomb as close as they could get to as many capital ships as they can.
I know our intelligence says publicly the iranians don’t have a workable bomb, yet. I don’t think we have a good track record predicting that very well. Weren’t they wildly off on pock-e-stan and I think north korea? Not to mention the 2007 estimate that said iran is not even working on a nuclear bomb, which anyone with a lick of sense and observation of current events saw through as politically motivated bull shiite. iran getting the bomb sooner than has been pontificated would not surprise me.
zero has already ruled out in kind retaliation. Even if we did, those krazy koranimals think they will be ushering in their 12th immam. Win – win for them.
Didn’t we allow one of their recon aircraft close enough to a carrier last week?

Economics and politics. Spain’s current mess:
By Andrés González and Elisabeth O’Leary
MADRID (Reuters) – Spain’s new government said on Friday that this year’s budget deficit would be much larger than expected and announced a slew of surprise tax hikes and wage freezes that could drag the country back to the centre of the euro zone debt crisis.
In its first decrees since sweeping to victory in November, the centre-right government said the public deficit for 2011 would come in at 8 percent of gross domestic product, well above an official target of 6 percent.
It announced initial public spending cuts of 8.9 billion euros ($11.5 billion) and tax hikes aimed at bringing in an additional 6 billion euros a year to tackle the shortfall.
“This is just the beginning … We’re facing an extraordinary and unexpected situation, forcing us to take extraordinary and unexpected measures,” Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria said.
Spain has been under market scrutiny over its ability to control its public finances, and Madrid has seen risk premiums soar to record highs on contagion fears as the euro zone debt crisis spread.
Spain’s unemployment rate is a tragic 23%. Moreover, implementation of new austerity measures will tend to exacerbate the burgeoning UNEMPLOYMENT situation.
Imho, the economic picture until the election will make or break Obama.
@ Iron Fist:
See my 19, the guy making the accusation is an Egyptian Jew with israeli citizenship. WHat does he know know about Hispanics.
I swear being a Rightwing Hispanic is hard in the political world. You get attacked by the Left and get attacked by Nativists on the Right. If a New Rightwing Party forms, Conservative Hispanics will go there in droves. Democrats hate us and the GOP doesn’t want us. We are political orphans.

Our unemployment is at Depression Levels if a Republican were President. As is, the MFM would ignore it if it were twice what it is (and it is about twice reported “official” levels). That is the problem. The media, including Fox News, are so in the tank that there is almost no way to get the real news.
@ Rodan:
You have to differentiate betweeen the “Leadership” of the Republican Party, and the rank and file. Our “Leaders” don’t really represent us most of the time, nor do they have anything resembling pure motives. The Republican Party sucks, no lie, but the Democrats are far worse. You go to war with the army you have, not the army you wish you had…

We have to find her another job, and I have pretty much decided to find a new job this year myself. It is going to be a year of changes for my family, that is for sure.

They will not attack.
Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz to foreign military vessels, much as Qaddafi did with the Gulf of Sidra in the 1980′s.
There’s one sure thing about Iran. They’re damn good at shooting off their mouth…

Sorry to hear that things are so much up in the air. I ALWAYS look at the preservation of ‘wealth’. It’s not something that financial analysts really do because they are more locked into diversification of assets as the Holy Grail of their profession. There are more ways to look at things. Perhaps ‘best practices’ are no longer best practices if you know what I mean. These are extraordinary times partly because information and money travel around the globe in seconds.

The rich Islamic states are bribing their people increasingly. They all fear the Islamist takeover because the ruling families would be vastly outnumbered. The House of Saud will fall, and I predict that it will due to dwindling oil reserves and the innate sloth of Islam (Allah will take care of it fatalism). The zealots have metastisized over the past decades. Ozero helped it along faster than any other president would or could have done. He has been promoting Islam since the first day he took office.

US blames Egypt NGO crackdown on ‘Mubarak holdovers’
Published: 01.03.12, 23:20 / Israel News
The United States stepped up its criticism of Egypt’s raids on pro-democracy groups on Tuesday, saying the crackdown was “unacceptable” and driven by remnants of former President Hosni Mubarak’s regime.
“We had been assured by leaders within the Egyptian government that this issue would be resolved, that harassment would end, that NGOs would be allowed to go back to business as usual and that their property would be returned,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said. “It is frankly unacceptable to us that that situation has not been returned to normal.” (Reuters)
