Americans ''100 times more savage'' than Iraqis: Safavi
2003-01-05
The Americans are "100 times more savage" than the Iraqis and their threats to attack Baghdad are based on oil interests, the commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards army charged Thursday. "American policy is driven by force, and force has to be responded to by force," General Rahim Safavi said, quoted on state television.
Oooh! Lookitdat! He's showing his fangs!
Alluding to a possible US attack against Iraq, Safavi said "behind this policy of war are cartels and the heads of the American oil industry".
"It's all about oil."
And he warned Washington to think twice about eventually attacking Iran, which US President George W. Bush has lumped into an "axis of evil" together with Iraq and North Korea. "The US should know that if they threaten our country, Iranians will resist and defeat them," he asserted.
"Yar! We'll beat 'em up! We'll gnaw on their infidel bones! Hrarf! Hrarf! Bring 'em on! Bring 'em o-o-o-o-n!"

#3  His war assessment is realistic. He remembers the Iran-Iraq War with over 1,000,000 dead which was fought to a draw. Iran could not handle the US.

All the more reason to capitulate early and save everybody the headache.
