Iran: We can repel U.S. attack

<i>TEHRAN, Iran (Reuters) -- Iran has the military might to deter attacks against it, its defense minister said in remarks published on Tuesday, one day after U.S. President George W. Bush said he would not rule out military action against Iran.

Iranian Defense Minister Ali Shamkhani said the Islamic Republic, which has seen U.S. forces topple regimes in neighboring Afghanistan and Iraq in the last three years, did not fear attack.

"We are able to say that we have strength such that no country can attack us because they do not have precise information about our military capabilities due to our ability to implement flexible strategies," the semi-official Mehr news agency quoted Shamkhani as saying.

"We can claim that we have rapidly produced equipment that has resulted in the greatest deterrent," he said, without elaborating. </i>

We're sure heading down that path of diplomacy.

MMmmm hmmm..

1. First you have to scare them

BushCo's first order of business is to scare them. Whether "they" be N. Korea, Saddam, Iran or Americans scare them to be complicit. So far it has only worked on paranoid Americans.
