OMG Iran!!! Siren Siren!

Matt Drudge only brings out his super-cool flashing siren .gif when he is in absolute hysterics has something serious to report. So imagine how frightened and ready to starting blowing stuff up I was when I saw this!



OMGZ!11!!

The linked-to AP report (at the conservative BreitBart.com news repository, natch) reads-

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned Tuesday that a power vacuum is imminent in Iraq and said that Iran was ready to help fill the gap.

"The political power of the occupiers is collapsing rapidly," Ahmadinejad said at a press conference in Tehran, referring to U.S. troops in Iraq. "Soon, we will see a huge power vacuum in the region. Of course, we are prepared to fill the gap, with the help of neighbors and regional friends like Saudi Arabia, and with the help of the Iraqi nation."

That is all the article reads. In its entirety. Just the latest rantings of the lunatic who is President of Iran. No actual plot, no declaration of war... just the usual bluster of a man who enjoys feeling more powerful than he actually is. The truly laughable part is Ahmadinejad's invocation of Saudi Arabia as his "friend" in this. Saudi Arabia (the dominant Sunni bully in the yard) is much as Iran's (dominant Shiite bully) friend as oil is friends with water. In short, this is crazy talk from a crazy man.

I know folks like Drudge want a new war to play with. But us adults don't like the way they treated the two they already made us buy them, and so we're gonna tell them 'no' (again) and ask them to take a time-out instead.
