Iranian President Miscalculating Iran War Danger

29 Aug 2007

August 29, 2007 (LPAC)--Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad is making a dangerous miscalculation when he repeatedly says that U.S. forces are too over-stretched, and the domestic political climate too unfavorable, to be able to make an attack on Iran. Ahmedinejad repeated the assertion today while on a state visit to Russia, stating "Washington's threats of a military solution [of the Iranian nuclear question] are largely propaganda."

What Ahmedinejad calculates from a sane standpoint, does not apply to an insane cabal around Vice President Cheney and the increasingly unstable President Bush.

Ahmedinejad also told the Russian media that Iran's nuclear dossier is a closed matter. "I am officially declaring that the Iranian 'nuclear dossier' is, from our point of view, closed," Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said. He added that President Vladimir Putin assured him at a recent meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization that the Bushehr nuclear power plant being built by Russia, will be completed as contracted.

What Ahmedinejad referred to as the "closed nuclear dossier" is based on the IAEA's document, "Understandings of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the IAEA on the Modalities of Resolution of the Outstanding Issues," which said that during a meeting in Iran with IAEA representatives, "Iran provided clarifications to the agency that helped to explain the remaining questions."

While the IAEA's approval of Iran's compliance is a valid document that suggests that Iran is not in the process of developing nuclear weapons, the Cheney cabal's intent is to change the Iranian regime. The nuclear issue is just a pretext for doing so.
