Iran's President Says United States Too Weak to Attack Iran

Ahmadinejad predicts that the ailing U.S. economy will prevent Washington from launching a strike
By Thomas Omestad
Posted September 25, 2008

NEW YORK—Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, meeting with several dozen American peace activists here Wednesday night, said that Iran was not seeking a nuclear bomb and asserted that the Bush administration was not in a position to launch military strikes to stop Iran from carrying out its nuclear activities.

"I really believe the American government is not able to start another war for the next decades to come. This is good news for the entire world," he declared. He was referring to the financial crisis that may trigger a historically expensive public bailout to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars. He very likely also had in mind the long U.S. military engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan—a theme he has struck on other occasions.

6. Too weak to attack? No. Too weak to occuply? Probably.
US airpower and naval power is at full capability and Iran doesn't have the capabilities to stop it should it happen.
