August 22, Iran's date for world armageddon?
Should we be concerned about Iran, Islam's 12th Imam, and August 22? Bloggers have been reporting on this for some time now, today the Wall Street Journal has an op-ed on the subject. I have wondered for some time if our government pays any attention to this subject. Apparently they do.

Last evening, one of our friends in the State Department happened to call. During our chat, I asked him, from the perspective of someone working amid diplomatic circles for the last 20+ years, what the biggest story of the year was. Biggest, as in frightening long-term troubles for us. He responded that it was the 18 page letter Ahmadinejad sent to President Bush. He then carefully explained why. That 18 page letter was maybe a one day story at best in the MSM. The reason why the news media thought that was either because they have no idea what news really is or because that letter made George Bush look good, really good. -- Mrs. P at Patum Peperium
Infidel Bloggers Alliance is all over the subject here:


"Wall Street Journal Op-Ed Says Ahmadinejad May Have "Cataclysmic Events" In Store For August 22nd" from Infidel Bloggers Alliance, who says:

Of course, we've been on this for weeks here at Infidel Bloggers Alliance. But, when the Wall Street Journal starts saying the same thing, even I prick up my ears:

In a WALL STREET JOURNAL op-ed Tuesday, Princeton's Bernard Lewis writes: "There is a radical difference between the Islamic Republic of Iran and other governments with nuclear weapons. This difference is expressed in what can only be described as the apocalyptic worldview of Iran's present rulers."

on a side note Iran tells the world that they wishes the destruction of the U.S. / Israel since tens of years it's not really a news that we have here the only difference is that their current attitude comes out after that their precedent elected president (they do have a president, even if in a theocracy the religious leaders tends to be more important/the same as the president) anyhow their precedent president was kinda "open to the world", he wasn't a "cool dude to stay with" but at least he was like "we may decided to change a few rules so that we could live together".

we'll see in less than a week.
I believe they're capable...I just hope they will be stopped before bad things happen.

I watched that guy (president of Iran) get interviewed on 60 minutes the other night. He's a nut. Can't carry on an intelligible conversation without rambling off into some ridiculous rant about how Britain and America are trying to destroy the Middle East.

He first said the Holocaust was a myth. Then, when pressed on that, he said, "well if it happened, where did it happen?" Mike Wallace says "Germany". Then he leans back and smiles and says, "So why are millions of Palestinians having to pay for what happened in Germany. Let them go live in Germany and give back the land to the Palestinians".

Sounds familiar.

He's a whack job. What scares me is he's crazy enough I think he just might do it.

Dude, haven't you learned anything in the past few years. Arab leaders are all full of bullshit. They lead with these words of over the top bullshit. How powerful they are. How they will destroy the world. Mother of all battles. The line of death. Blah blah blah. Its all just bullshit for the impoverished and uneducated masses that keep them in power.

Fuck, hezbollah is over there declaring victory on israel just because a few of them have managed to stay hidden without getting killed by the israeli troops wandering through. Same with Bin Laden in Afghanistan. Because he managed to play hide and seek and ran away, he claims victory. Its all rhetoric.

Irans president is a little crazy yet his country is setting up to dominate the middle east thanks to us taking out their mortal enemy in saddam(nothing to do with 9\11).Good thinking GW.
