Iran protests at UN over Hillary's "obliterate Iran" remark

And meanwhile, the Thug-In-Chief thinks the smart money is on McCain.

Fighting-Back-Is-A-Provocation Update: "Iran files protest at UN over Hillary Clinton's 'obliterate' comment," by Nazila Fathi for the IHT (thanks to Jeffrey Imm):

TEHRAN: Iran has lodged a formal protest at the United Nations over comments by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton that the United States would "totally obliterate" Iran if it attacked Israel with nuclear weapons, the state-run IRNA news agency reported Thursday.

Iran's deputy ambassador to the United Nations, Mehdi Danesh-Yazdi, sent a letter Wednesday to the United Nations secretary general and the United Nations Security Council denouncing the remarks, IRNA said.

Clinton made the comments in an interview on ABC television last week. "I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran," she said when she was asked what she would do if Iran attacked Israel with nuclear weapons. "In the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them," she added.

Danesh-Yazdi wrote in his letter that Clinton's comments were "provocative, unwarranted and irresponsible" and "a flagrant violation" of the United Nations Charter, IRNA reported.

"I wish to reiterate my government's position that the Islamic Republic of Iran has no intention to attack any other nation," he wrote. Nonetheless "Iran would not hesitate to act in self-defense to respond to any attack against the Iranian nation and to take appropriate defensive measures to protect itself," the letter added.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran said during a trip to New Delhi on Tuesday, that he believed that neither Clinton nor Senator Barack Obama, the other Democratic presidential candidate, had a chance of winning the U.S. presidential election in November.

"Do you think a black candidate would be allowed to be president in the U.S.?" the semiofficial Mehr News Agency quoted Ahmadinejad as saying. "We don't think Mr. Obama will be allowed to become the U.S. president."

Referring to Clinton, he said: "Presidency of a woman in a country that boasts its gunmanship is unlikely."

the Islamic Republic of Iran has no intention to attack any other nation

Of course Iran does not recognize Israel as a "nation" so nuking Israel would be OK.

Since the mullas do not fear their own destruction the West only has one option, levy a threat to destroy the myth that animates the Islamic ideology. I am referring of course to what we could call the "Tancredo doctrine". Israel cannot confront Iran alone in an all out war so the survival of Israel must depend on the participation in any conflict with Iran of all the superpowers and then some. The only way to guarantee that participation would be to force the uprising of the entire Muslim world against everyone else on the planet and thus compel the non-Muslim world to earnestly defend itself. The easiest and most certain way to do that for Israel is to target Mecca and Medina and possibly Qom with their own nukes and thereby utterly disrupt the Islamic Day of Judgment myth by destroying the script. They could also easily level the structures on the Temple Mount with bulldozers but that would be an anticlimactic footnote in the annals of history.

I take that final comment as a sign that HRC's election will be regarded as a sign of weakness if not implicit/imminent surrender.

"the Islamic Republic of Iran has no intention to attack any other nation"

Maybe not, but their sock puppets in Syria, Hezbo and Hamas and the Pals will.

It's so ironic that Iran doesn't like the notion of being 'wiped off the map'.

Mohammedan cuckoo clocks.....

The cuckoo springs out the door and declares it is not allowed to threaten Muslims with obliteration after they have threatened infidels with obliteration.

Aggression and threats are only for the sons of Allah. The infidel must shut up and take abuse

Hillary is merely reminding the Islamic Republic of a fact: we CAN obliterate Iran if they precipitate a nuclear war against a neighbor.

Hillary is not going to obliterate anything...except of course what remains of her campaign for president.

[Please forgive the multiple postings--my error] ~@!*/%&!@!!

I bet coming from a woman, that kind of remark gives Beasty Boy Ahmadinijad bad dreams. For a woman to threaten an Islamic country is unheard of and a great offense to Allah. Poor Allah is under a lot of stress these days, but he still has his defenders. The Saudi's just ratified the sentence of beheading for a Turkish barber convicted of insulting Allah.
Now that's the way to convince the west that Sharia is the way to go. Infidels have a habit of insulting Allah, especially after hitting their thumb with a hammer.
I think it's grand that Hillary got Beasty 'all shook up', enough to file a complaint. No one has been able to stick a thorn under that little buggers saddle, until now. Hillary did it. I still wont vote for her, but I would buy her a beer...

Fake god, fake mythology, fake bravado all lead to same end: Mass nuclear suicide.

It is time to do the only humane thing left, put that 7th century fake mythology to sleep, so the rest of the world can live in peace. Too bad they can't see what's coming at this 'religion of peace' and reform, seriously reform. Their fake god of human sacrifice will do it to them.

They say they love death. We shall see how much.

Iran has lodged a formal protest at the United Nations over comments by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton that the United States would "totally obliterate" Iran if it attacked Israel with nuclear weapons
and the nuclear program in Iran it is for peaceful power well there's nothing more peaceful than a dead man
a flagrant violation" of the United Nations Charter, IRNA reported.
so are a lot of things that I around as

"I wish to reiterate my government's position that the Islamic Republic of Iran has no intention to attack any other nation,"
they don't need to they can get their proxies in Hamas and Hezbollah to attack Israel for them

he wrote. Nonetheless "Iran would not hesitate to act in self-defense to respond to any attack against the Iranian nation and to take appropriate defensive measures to protect itself
a problem with this statement been since the Jews of Israel have broken their dhimmtihood it could be claimed that they have attacked Islam and since Iran is Islamic in the alleged minds of their mullahs Israel's is attacking Islam and hence Iran

Just how many votes does the Islamic Republic of Iran want to win for Hillary Clinton?

I am not the smrtist purson hear, but...
in the old school days {daze}, when you were the new kid, or just a kid who went to school and did what was required, there were always loud mouths, bullies, and punks {not in the musical sense}. They would corral a kid or two at times. Talk really loud, poke you in the chest on occasion, maybe even trip you up on the way to class. You took it to a point. You believed that old bs about "turning the other cheek." Then something clicks inside your young, impressionable mindset; it really means, "to meet on equal footing."
You let them start bullying you again...and you look for the biggest, loudest mouth of their bunch. You act timid, but inside you summoned your courage...took a deep breath, clenched your little fist, and with the power of Grey Skull....WHAM! You knock the biggest, loudest, of the bunch right in the nose {or with a heeled fist in a downward motion upon the chin}
Ahh, the feeling of never being bothered again; priceless.
To hell with the fricken Submissive to Allah Republic of Aryans!
"Wings level..."
"Cleared hot."

What on Earth is Iran crying about? Deadly levels of nuclear contamination after a massive strike persist for only a few weeks. Then, life returns to normal ...

Less a few mosques, coffee houses and bowling alleys. And a few billion muslims.

Actually, it's better than normal.

Woman in Charge - does the perfidy of infidels ever end? What is the Thug-in-Chief to do?

First, Barbi dolls and now this? Ride and hide, mullahs! The evil Clinton women will not only 'obliterate' you, but mock your lack of "gunmanship" as well.

SaracensAtTheGates - kudos to you for the posts above. I agree completely as well.

Muslims need to control their own or suffer ...

'hang together or hang seperately' as Ben Franklin once said.

The only thing that all competing factions agree on is the primacy of Mecca.

Yeah, and I'm sure the people who decide who may run for office in the Islamic Republic are planning on nominating women and non-Persians (other than the token representatives of certain minorities) for high office in the next elections there.

I don't think any Zoroastrian will be allowed to become the Iranian president.

Also, presidency of a woman in a country that boasts its Islamicity is unlikely.

Double Standard Alert!

Hock-a-luge-job must have the corner market on threatening to obliterate countries. He wants to "wipe Israel off of the map", destroy the US/Europe, OH, and then he wants to take over the world.

Can't imagine why Hillary made that statement.

"Danesh-Yazdi wrote in his letter that Clinton's comments were "provocative, unwarranted and irresponsible" and "a flagrant violation" of the United Nations Charter, IRNA reported."

Shut up! Ackmad must have stacks of violations written against him concerning his comments, right? No. Then shut up!

Iran will not attack anyone Yeah I'll believe that when pigs fly

Clifford! Hey, my eldest sons name is, Cliff. Cool name!

Hillary Clinton (for all her faults) is still a "Goldwater girl" deep down under all the liberal nonsense....

If I was Teddy Kennedy I would be very worried...

Although I'm not a big Hillary fan, her remark raised her standing in my eyes more than anything else she has said so far in this campaign.

From the article: "Referring to [Hilary] Clinton, he [Ahmadinejad] said: "Presidency of a woman in a country that boasts its gunmanship is unlikely."

Riiight.

He's obviously never heard of Calamity Jane.

And he hasn't seen 'High Noon' or 'Chicago'...

"And he hasn't seen 'High Noon' or 'Chicago'...

"Cat Woman"

say what you will, but MEEEOOOOWWW>.

Referring to Clinton, he said: "Presidency of a woman in a country that boasts its gunmanship is unlikely."

The arrogance. The ignorance. I hate him. I guess he just ignores women like Margaret Thatcher, or Indira Gandhi, or Corazon Aquino, or Golda Meir, or Queen Victoria, or Elizabeth I, or Elizabeth II, or Cherokee Indian Chief Wilma Pearl Mankiller?

I'd like to introduce him to the last one on the list!

darcy, I'm waiting for my post at the Reveille to filter through the screeners ..., I wrote things and got a little riled up, and it was another opportunity to introduce our beloved Mara. Mara is so, totally cool.

I'd like to hear Hillary say if any sponsored satellite or entity of Iran attacks Israel, Iran will be hopitalized. The idea is that we want Iran to be singled out amongst all the other Islamist nations, and have them know they are going to be held accountable and responsible for the company they keep.

Hillary and not John should say these things publicly.

Score one point for Hillary.

Finally.

the Islamic Republic of Iran has no intention to attack any other nation.

As others have mentioned, two fallacies here:

1) Why do the dirty work oneself when nice proxy armies will do?

2) He didn't say 'Israel'. That's worrisome.

I'm really glad evangelizing satellite channels are operating over Iran. That gives the government some interesting challenges with people who just _leave_ the dreaded religion they were born into.

k24anson,

I would like to hear John McCain give public assurance that we support Israel and guarantee her survival, should the Iranians or their proxies' actions directly threaten her; those actions are ultimately a threat carried out against us. I would actually trust that McCain--unlike Hillary--unequivocally meant it.

I liked "Mara's First Day." I could not help but compare healthly, well-adjusted Mara with her Muslim counterpart--a three and a-half year old Egyptian girl named Basmallah, already progressing in quite different lessons--see MEMRI's site (also featured in Wilder's Fitna).

John C,

Two nations are down over there. There could be a third nation down five, ten years from now. It's funny how the Iranians don't consider this a possibility.

And Mara is perfect to portray the stereotypical best of the West, and I use the tleehane video whenever I'm inside Islamist posts such as Jihadwatch. The comparison of Mara to Basmallah is striking.

Do the Islamists have a fourteen year old to compare with one of ours, who'll make the crowds stand up and love her? No, they don't. The Islamist culture is inferior compared to the West, and that's the truth. I'm preaching to the choir now though, and why the Islamists aren't made to consider these things? There is no ideological warfront being conducted on them. Our powerful media, Hollywood, New York, our big guns aren't for some strange reason being deployed in this war on terror.

If McCain or Bush had said this, there would have been universal condemnation and hysterical cries of "Warmonger!" from the kneejerk Democratic Party and their complicit media whores.

But Hillary says it and only their crackpot pal in Iran is pissed.

Interesting.

Yeah, "obliterate", just like her husband had solemnly vowed to "bring those responsible" for the Khobar bombing "to justice". The former FBI director Louis Freeh wrote in his memoirs "My FBI" that he presented to Clinton an iron-clad proof that the bombing was personally ordered by Iran's two top leaders, Rafsanjani and Khamanei. Clinton covered it up and refused to take any action at all. Far from "bringing Iran to justice", he and the obscene Albright denounced Freeh for "offending" visiting Iranian athletes (known to always include terrorists and spies among them) by fingerprinting them. Hillary Clinton: a lying sociopath, the spouse of a lying sociopath.
Freeh was not perfect, but since he left, the FBI has been rapidly rotting down from the top, heavily infested by the very Islamists, jihadists and spies it is supposed to protect us from.

Strange? Not really. Many of the entertainment elite are so blinded by hatred for Bush they are aiding and abetting the terrorists, not concerned about what the rest of us might think or have to say about these issues. In another day this would have been called treason and dealt with appropriately.

The day that the Islamic Republic of Iran initiates a war of annihilation against Israel must be the day that marks the ultimate destruction of the Islamic Republic.
