1. His suggestion that Iran is willing to risk world war |

ME. He's already started a world war. It just remains to be seen how far the world is going to let him go. He's even talking of using nukes against those countries that would defend themselves.

4. I've read the claims that Iran actively encouraged us to attack |
|
Iraq, by having their alleged agent Ahmed Chalabi feed us bullshit about WMD and about how the Iraq people would welcome us. (Supposedly Chalabi sent four different operatives to us with specific 'intelligence' about locations of WMD and so forth; these operatives claimed to be Iraqi dissidents and hid their connections to Chalabi.) If this is true, it would make sense: Iran wanted to get rid of Saddam and they wanted an unstable Iraq that would allow friendly Shiites to gain control. The fact that our weakness is now on display is a sweetener for the Iranians.
