Yeah,I think they are just being smart ass's. They do seem cocky though.
And I think they are saying that they arent stupid. They know they can hurt America. They know they are not Iraq, Afghanistan or Libya. They still seem far too cocky to not be confident of the backing of Russia and maybe China in some form or another.edit on 31-1-2012 by theubermensch because: (no reason given)

How do you think we get agents in country?
2. No one KNOWS what the US has,but I will say this much,You can bet the World hasn't seen 1/10 of the advancements.........You dont spend like a drunken sailor,not to have an advantage.
Iran has NO allies. None that are willing to go against the US,or its Allies. Not unless they want full scale WW3.

Yes they do. I don't believe they will support Iran if Iran attacks first, but, I believe they will if the US/Israel invades Iran, which may explain why nothing has been done with all the accusations.

Nobody is going to risk WW3, that is why Iran hasn't attacked the US yet, and the US hasn't attacked Iran yet. Don't be silly. If you are going to preclude me from listing any country, don't ask for one. I believe China will support them, possibly Russia, India, hell, their ally list is on the net, check it out. North Korea is one as well.

Thats what I mean.They have NO Allies willing to go to war with them.Support is one thing,Actively going to War? Not so much.BTW,Iran has attacked the US......Beirut,1983,Using a terrorist arm of their Country.
Starting in 1982 with Iranian success on the battlefield, the United States made its backing of Iraq more pronounced, normalizing relations with the government, supplying it with economic aid, counter-insurgency training, operational intelligence on the battlefield, and weapons.

Yes, but they would have allies that would support them in the event of an invasion. Then it wouldn't be the "bad guys" that started it, it would be the US invasion that started it.

Iran attacked the US, in Beirut in 1983...wonder why? Anything to do with Reagan getting chummy with their enemy, taking them off the State Sponsors of Terrorism list, and this:

Wouldn't you be pissed if that happened to you? I think it is just sour grapes on Iran's part, it seems like they feel they should have been chosen.

Wasn't the same said of China and North Korea a while back? Whatever happened to NK? No plans there. China will not let the US invade Iran. They want the oil/gas. India has now said they will not support the sanctions. If I got all my food at a specific store and someone wanted to destroy the store, I wouldn't let that happen. If I am so wrong, why hasn't the US invaded or bombed them yet? They had much less proof in Iraq and that didn't stop them. The biggest terrorists are afraid of terror? Funny.

You should read up on your history if you think Iran drew first blood.
CIA and MI6 hand their dirty fingers all over Iran long before the embassy scandal.

Well you cant disregard something that has a direct connection to the Embassy incident. It was from the US embassy that the US NATO general instigated everything. And than use it as a legitimate argument for Iran being aggressive.
That is corrupt.
