Ahmadinejad Says US 'Incapable' of Attacking IranJerusalem

(CNSNews.com) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that the U.S. is making mistakes in Iraq and was "incapable" of attacking Iran. In a television interview on Tuesday evening, Ahmadinejad said that the U.S. would like to hurt Iran, but "they are not in a position to do so." The Iranian leader admitted that the U.S. was exerting pressure on Iran, but he said it was a mistake, according to the official Iranian news agency IRNA. Ahmadinejad charged that President Bush had made many "blunders". When asked if a military strike against Iran would be one of those mistakes, he said: "No. They are not in a position to make such a decision. I think there are wise people in America who would not let this happen. They are incapable. The pressure is more psychological." Ahmadinejad's statements came just hours before Bush addressed the nation in his State of the Union speech.
