Iran has the military strength to deter attacks against it, the Islamic Republic's minister of defense said in comments published Tuesday.  U.S. President George W. Bush said in an interview Monday with NBC television he would not rule out military action if Washington cannot persuade Iran to stop short of building a nuclear weapon. "I hope we can solve it diplomatically, but I won't ever take any option off the table," Bush said. President Bush was quizzed about Iran as The New Yorker magazine reported that U.S. commandos have been operating inside Iran since mid-2004 selecting suspected weapons sites for possible air strikes. The Pentagon slammed the article as "riddled with errors."
Iranian Defense Minister Ali Shamkhani said Tehran did not fear attack. "We are able to state that we have might such that no country can attack us because they do not have precise information regarding our military capabilities due to our ability to implement flexible strategies," Mehr news agency quoted the minister as saying.
"We can claim that we have rapidly produced equipment that has resulted in the greatest deterrent," he added.

I think Iran should keep all her military capabilities secret, by doing so they would not be able to guessed and attack the State of Iran,as they are unable to do on North Korea situation. |

Hmm, so i wonder what this secret weapon is? A donkey with a missile on it's back? or maybe they really do have nukes and that's why they feel as bold as they do to make such statements? |

Now that the Iraqi insurgents have been succesfully defeated by America's war machine!!! they feel more comfortable in messing with another country that actually has a real military and armed forces and above all the support of its people. They might have a bit more problem in Iran than they have in Iraq and Afghanistan. One thing is that all American bases and forces in the region including the ones in Israel are within reach of Iranian missiles....and those missiles are bad and big. They are badder than those suicide bombers' cars. America's darling in the middle east, that is the Jewish Apartheide, has a fixed address and Iranians know that...isn't that sweet? |

40 minutes to burn a "dead boy" after "gassing" to dust, yet with modern hospital incinerators it can takeupto 12 hours to dust. |
