Playing Double-Dare With the Mullahs

Next Thursday, February 11th, is the 31st anniversary of the Iranian Revolution, an event that wouldn’t have taken place without a pussy like Jimmuh Carter in the White House.

This year, the Iranian mullahs—among many others—have figured that we have yet another pussy in the White House, and in addition to showing 30-year-old videotape of hostages on television, are threatening “to deliver a telling blow to global powers on February 11th.”

Iranian state-run Press TV quoted President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad this past Sunday as saying that the nation will deliver a harsh blow to “global arrogance” on February 11th.

What could it be? For years now, Iran has been threatening the West with its bathtub navy, threatening to blockade the Strait of Hormuz which is the chokepoint of the Persian Gulf.

Would Iran cut off oil to the West? That might raise prices, but one has to remember that Iran is a net importer of gasoline, having only one refinery. A blockade by the West combined with a single air raid on the refinery would be even better than dropping bridges. Nothing in Iran would move.

Perhaps the Mad Mullahs would use this anniversary to detonate a nuclear bomb to demonstrate that they have achieved the technology in spite of Obama’s imaginary “deadline” that they dare not cross.

What would Bammy Boy do then? Give Iran deadline after deadline to dismantle its nuclear program? That would surely work!

How about if Iran nuked Tel Aviv and killed two or three million Israelis? Would the Pussy President then pressure them to the negotiating table?

The only lucky break President Obama could get in this situation is if, as they usually do, the Iranians are threatening a bluff; and will confine their “telling blow” to placing more IEDs in Iraq and Afghanistan, thereby killing more Americans; and aiding Hamas and Hezbollah in killing more Jews.

That way, Obama can pretend not to notice; and what’s more—wouldn’t care. That’ll show those mullahs!
