Iran Calls America A Pussy

(Tehran) One senior Iranian cleric, Ayatollah Ahmad, labeled the U.S. as too weak to stop Iran's ambitions. Ahmad said America is a "decaying power" with no stamina. Meanwhile, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the U.S. efforts to prompt the UN to impose sanctions is of "no importance."

From WashingtonTimes.com:

Iran boasted yesterday it could defeat any American military action over its nuclear drive, in one of the Islamic regime's boldest challenges yet to the United States.

"You can start a war but it won't be you who finishes it," said Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi, the head of the Revolutionary Guards and among the regime's most powerful figures.

"The Americans know better than anyone that their troops in the region and in Iraq are vulnerable. I would advise them not to commit such a strategic error," he told reporters on the sidelines of a conference in Tehran.

"I would advise them to first get out of their quagmire in Iraq before getting into an even bigger one," Gen. Safavi said with a grin.

"We have American forces in the region under total surveillance. For the past two years, we have been ready for any scenario, whether sanctions or an attack."

Ahmadinejad scoffs at the United States while incessantly blasting words of intimidation. He has pledged to wipe Israel off the map and said the Holocaust did not occur. Apparently, Iranian belligerence has no limit because now we hear them say that America doesn't have the cajones to confront Iran. From my experience, those are fighting words.
