From PittsburghLIVE.com: "In Tehran, as August began, the Islamic Republic's supreme guide Ali Khamenei, was answering questions from a hundred or so Islamic guidance officials, home from foreign postings for retraining. Most of his answers were trite slogans, but when he was asked, 'Is our Islamic Republic at war against the United States,' he paused before replying. 'It is the United States that is at war against our Islamic Revolution.'
However, Khamenei's own newspaper was even more direct. Writing this July, it said, 'the White House's 80 years of exclusive rule are likely to become 80 seconds of hell that will burn to ashes. Those who resist Iran will be struck from directions they never expected.'
To these facts add that an Arab newspaper published in London and Beirut reported that an Iranian intelligence unit has established a center called 'The Brigades of the Shahids of the Global Islamic Awakening,' controlled by a Revolutionary Guards intelligence officer, Hassan Abbasi. The newspaper has a tape recording of Abbasi when he spoke of Iran's secret plans, which include 'a strategy drawn up for the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization.'"
I'm guessing that political correctness hasn't quite reached the mullahs of Iran quite yet. And John Kerry thinks we can fight a more sensitive war on terror? You'd think that after spending years on the Senate Intelligence committee, Sen. Kerry would know better...oh wait...he was absent for a majority of the hearings. I guess that explains it.
