Iran - Admits Trying to Acquire Nuclear Weapons

After calling for Israel to be wiped off the map of the world, Iran is now calling for the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization.

President Ahmadinejad is a member of the Hojatieh sect, seen by many Shiite Muslims as verging on the lunatic fringe of Islam, and thought to be so extreme by Ayatollah Khomeini whose 1979 revolution overthrew the shah that it was driven underground in 1983. The Hojatieh sect is now very much back in favor with the new Iranian government, and the new president is a fervent admirer of its spiritual leader, Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi, known in secular circles in Tehran as "the crazed one."

The new president has purged senior figures from the Iranian Foreign Ministry and Oil Ministry, to replace them with his own loyalists, many of them from the Pasdaran (Revolutionary Guard). In recent speeches, some of these newly powerful supporters of President Ahmadinejad have denounced any talk of compromise with the United States and the West in speeches that have been reported in the Iranian press and media.

General Mohammad Kossari, who runs the Revolutionary Guard's Security Department, has announced that "Iran intends to become a superpower and will drive all foreign forces out of our region."

"We have a strategy drawn up for the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization," declared Hassan Abbasi, formerly director of the Revolutionary Guard's Center for Security Doctrines Research, and now chief foreign policy adviser to the new President.

Did you catch that? "Iran intends to become a superpower..." There's only one way to do that and that's with nuclear weapons. So, Iran admits it is working on acquiring nuclear weapons.

These threats aren't limited to the Middle East.

Here in Britain the government stands idly by while there are calls for an Islamic State and the overthrow of the government.

And in America the Democrats are aiding the terrorists in Iraq.

I find it interesting that the story on Iran is from the editor of UPI. Are some in the media starting to get worried?
