Iran Rattles Its Own Saber

[monk222]

♠
President Bush has sent out some serious fire power to the Persian Gulf in the form of an aircraft carrier strike group, and there has been much talk about striking at Iran. Iran has decided that it would be good to issue some strong statements of its own:

Iran's supreme leader warned today that any U.S. attack on his country would trigger Iranian retaliation against U.S. interests "around the world."

... Khamenei continued, "Some say that the U.S. 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." He said U.S. policymakers know that Iran "would not let an invasion go without a response."

The Administration asserts that it is dumbstruck why Iran thinks we have any intentions of invading the country. I guess there is a lot of paranoia going around these days.
