While many have criticized the Bush Pre-Emptive Self Defense Doctrine, Iran has now embraced it.
** "DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran might launch pre-emptive strikes to protect its nuclear facilities if they are threatened, Defense Minister Ali Shamkhani said in remarks broadcast on Friday.
“We won’t sit with our hands tied and wait until someone does something to us,” Shamkhani told Arabic channel Al Jazeera when asked what Iran would do if the United States or Israel attacked its atomic facilities. " **
Frankly, I think the Iranian government is quite right in suggesting that a preemptive attack is legitimate under certain circumstances. Now people must factor into the equation their determination of whether Iran has the blls to actually launch a pre-emptive self defense attack. In the case of the USA, everyone now knows that we have the blls to do so (at least for so long as GW is President) and I believe we are safer because of that. Assuming people believe Iran has the b*lls to do so too, they are safer.
It’s a very sound and legitimate doctrine. For the US and for Iran. I’m glad to see some other countries realize that Bush was right.
The word "balls" was never considered vulgar, but then your post came along. :)
Well done, Iran.. for even considering it. Though, as most urdu-speaking people know "Jo Boltay Hein, Woh Kartay Nahi" (loosely translated as: Barking dogs don't bite), so I think of it mostly as an idle threat, than anything else. Waisay Pre-Emptive strikes rely on credible intelligence gathering apparatus, and so US should be staying away from it for a while. Iranians need to show they are not gonna mess up their intelligence.

b*lls Dude? AyaTullahs most likely have watermelons in their shorts. However the problem is with their brains. Big b*alls can get you in whole lot of trouble if you don't have an industrial might to back them up. Here is a quick equation for this concept.
2 (10Kg b*lls) + 1 (5 gram brain) = result (A$$ whooping by the USA)

Now that I've considered this a little more, the Iranians are actually out-B*shing B*sh. Israel would justify its attack on Iranian nuclear facilities as pre-emptive self defense. The Iranians are now saying that they have the right to pre-emptively attack Israel to prevent Israel from pre-emptively attacking them. So could Israel now say that it was pre-emptively attacking Iran to prevent Iran from pre-emptively attacking Israel thereby preserving for Israel its right to pre-emptively attack Iran's nuclear facilities?
BTW, is B*sh considered a vulgar word or does it depend upon the context and intended meaning?
Whether or not they actually have the stones to do it is of course one question, the repercussions are another altogether. It they have the cohones to launch a missle at Israel, almost certainly the Israeli's would blister them in return. The difference is that Israel has the Arrow anti-missle technology that make it likely that Dimona would remain unharmed.
If the Iranians actually have the rocks to attack the US, the storm would be even bigger. The Iranian Air force is more or less a joke, and about the only thing they could reliably attack is an aircraft carrier. Attacking an Aircraft Carrier is not wise. I don't believe they have the nuts to go this far, and almost certainly they would validate the "Axis-of Evil" moniker, and screw things up royally with the EU.
Regardles of testosterone levels, I think we should take this for what it is, empty bluster.
OK. OK. Assuming these Iranian ATMs (“Aya Tullah Mullahs” [did I get that right???]) have this testicular or glandular problem of extremely huge, disproportionate and tumescent family jewels, would Israel’s Johnson-shaped Arrows be able to reach the full extension of their launch path in time to pierce the shaft of Iran’s much smaller incoming tools? I fear that the Israeli Arrow things might explode prematurely allowing their defensive shield to be pricked.
^ there is a huge hole in your argumentm MV. The cavernous opening in Iran's defense due to Years of neglect and the penetration at the hands of the Israeils in 1981, will make them feel like a virgin at an orgy. Ability to touch Israel's assets is quite weak because of the lack of reach of the Irani err Korean No-Dong missiles
You are indeed a cunning linguist. I even stopped masticating to laugh while I read your post..
Your analysis certainly drives the point home. It made me wonder if Matsui were one of the head ATM’s, what would Matsui do? I’m sure you would not muff the opportunity to snatch victory from the dark hole that precariously faces the ATMs. You would go deeper in your thinking, rearrange your posterior guard and protect your rear end against any surprise thrust launched by some cockamamie Israeli Prime Minister.
it's interesting to see how the Bushies on this boad are orgasming at the mere possibility of more conflict and wars.. yep.. just as long as they or anyone they know doesn't have to fight it's all Hooorah time.. and yellow ribbons from the comfort of their lazy boys..

Possibaly yes! But the return volley will be disastrous for Iran. Mullah-aya-Tullah cabal doesn't have industrial might to sustain a military action against developed world.
Well! we all know Mullah-Aya-Tullahs love to hide in the tombs and graveyards when the $hit hits the fan.
Pre-Emptive Strike is the sorriest idea expressed and utilized by humankind thus far...IMHO.
I feel nothing but shame for U.S. implementing such tactic. To me..against principals created by U.S. founders. A dangerous idea that might take hold and spread like a virus.
Pre-Emptive strike reminds of that movie with Tom Cruise... forgot the name...something to do with Pre-Crime.
What happend to the idea of Innocent until proved Guilty?

Pre-Emptive IMHO is not an idea which fosters peace.
