Using big, meaningless words
State Department spokesman PJ Crowley used a big word to describe Iran on Friday night. The United States overnight Friday slammed Iran’s earlier announcement of technological advances in its nuclear program, saying it proves Teheran’s “nefarious intentions.”"Nefarious." A big, meaningless word. I'm sure Ahmadinejad is quaking in his boots.
State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley made the statement hours after the Islamic Republic announced that it successfully tested a third generation of domestically built centrifuges, which, it claims, can accelerate uranium enrichment by up to six times.

The Iranians are really afraid of the Great Satan now.
The State Department will show 'em!
Heh
"Nefarious" isn't that big of a word. It simply means bad, or evil. "Bad intentions" slips by as a phrase. He wanted to stress how cruel those intentions are and how much harm can come from them. Don't hate just because you don't understand, or don't have the patience to. That makes us like them
JordanBrudner,
You obviously have not been reading this blog for very long. I know exactly what the word means.
My point was that it's a three-syllable word, but its use in this case - given the actions of the Obama administration - is lot of hot air.
