Looking more and more like North Korea... was that Kim Jung Il I saw holding a bag of popcorn?
when you get threathened every day of the year from Atom powers.... thats the least you can do.... show some muscles and reminding them (the Atom powers) that it will be very very very bloody
Was this the same parade that injured 75 people, killed 12 and was thought to be a terrorist attack by Kurdish separatists... if so where's the headline!?
not the same parade i think that one was much smaller,but you know what i think is funny and btw i like looking at all the new weapons being developed by iran even if theyre still behind by other country standards in 20 years they will be equal at least thats what i think but u think if countries are going to attack just turn on the tube watch the parade all those missiles lined up and all theirmost advanced anti aircraft missiles all there jesus come on thats a little stupid,because to be honest i may not favor the regime but i like a good fight and when u have everything laid out there and letsbe honest again america isnt really intimated by a few missiles its what irans not showing that scares them be it the lone bomber california and etc etc
So are you saying a death match between Amadinejad and Obama? I think the US would come out on top regardless of who wins.
last anon... Iran does not have to win a war... they simply should not lose...
I bet thats too high for you, but nevertheless, you can repeat it in your next round table at the pub.. makes you look and sound more intelligent

Death to him and his stupid supporters on this blog
3:26 Can I ignore you some other time?
I bet "Your Face" is too high for you...
P1 - last time IRAN was attacked and occupied was 1,400 years ago or 1,200 years before the USA became an independent country.
P2- Last time a foreign army attacked Iran -- was at the onset of the revolution while the regular armed forces were in complete disarray -- volunteer forces made up of mostly irregulars rose to defend it. suffering 500,000 dead and many more wounded they successfully repelled the invaders.
P3- Iran has made it clear that in case of mere aerial attacks by US and Israel it will use all of it's considerable assets in asymmetrical warfare to make certain that pain and suffering is equitably shared with it's foes and their allies.
Q1- How many fatalities are US forces willing to suffer during an attack on Iran. How long are you willing to bike to work and what price of oil and for how long can the world economy sustain?
Let's not kid ourselves the time that big ships and big guns could mean solid military victories has long passed -- Americans need to think about their mostly useless hardware and more importantly all the treasure they have wasted on building them.
Q2- what is it that Americans can possibly win in this confrontation
Looks to me like amadinejad is getting slapped up and down the block right now in front of the whole world and just got his butthuggers pulled over his head without a single fatality on either side with Stuxnet. His hardware is looking pretty haggered these days as amadinejad continues to cry for help for anyone from the east or the west to stop the massacre. I guess you also fell for the "big ship, big gun" decoy... what can the world win? How about no nukes for Iran.
BTW, I ride my bike everyday and I love it!
I first vote for no nukes for the ones that used them and the ones threating others with using them.
