Default Ahmadinejad re-issues threats to the US and others.

Quote:
Iranian leaders often refer to the United States and its allies as the "global arrogance."

"As soon as the new government is established, with power and authority, ten times more than before, it will enter the global scene and will bring down the global arrogance," he told a big crowd in the northeastern city of Mashhad.

"They should wait as a new wave of revolutionary thinking ... from the Iranian nation is on the way and we will not allow the arrogant (powers) to even have one night of good sleep," Ahmadinejad said, according to state broadcaster IRIB.

The US and indeed the Western world need to deal with this putz sooner rather than later.

Not that I disagree, but how can any effort to 'deal' with Iran either involve the US or be US led with the quagmire of Iraq and the continueing mission in Afghanistan?

I think eventually, a war with Iran is inevitable.
I believe the U.S. will combine with Israel to do the job.

and it could get nasty.......

There is no more quagmire in Iraq.

If you listen to what Micheal Yon says, Iraq is a goldmine compared to Afghanistan.

Perhaps I miss spoke in using quagmire. But I agree with the premise that Afghanistan is more of a mess than most people realize.

More likely it will be Israel's duty entirely. Obama can sit pretty as the International and US mainstream media rip Israel like a bag of chips.
