Iran Issues Warning to US
2006-04-15
"You can start a war but it won't be you who finishes it," said General Yahya Rahim Safavi, the head of the Revolutionary Guards and among the regime's most powerful figures. "The Americans know better than anyone that their troops in the region and in Iraq are vulnerable. I would advise them not to commit such a strategic error," he told reporters on the sidelines of a pro-Palestinian conference in Tehran.

"I would advise them to first get out of their quagmire in Iraq before getting into an even bigger one,"
General Safavi said with a grin.
"We have American forces in the region under total surveillance. For the past two years, we have been ready for any scenario, whether sanctions or an attack."

#3  If this strike is provoked (which it has been) It will be the most violent and GOD BACKED strike in human history. If you are listening Iran, you better put a leash on that monkey NOW. There are no "Human rights" when you tempt.

I love Iranians but I dislike their leadership. They are going to hell.

#2  These Iranian leaders are truly legends in their own minds. When and if we strike them it will be with such force and totality Persia will take centuries to recover. There will be no "state" called Iran left.

The Iranians have engaged the US in a war of pin pricks since they seized our embassy years ago. The persons who did that are now running Iran and think they are princes and can defeat US. We are required to use them as a demonstration project as to how this Nation acts when it is making war and not cleaning up the mess the European's created when they created mid east nations like Iran and Iraq. The Arabs and Persian need not love us. They must because of their retarded islamic and tribalist mental makeup live in total fear of us. It's the only way we and the rest of the world can live in peace with them.

#1  Sounds Saddamesque. If we go into Iran, it will not be a nation-building project. It will be a site destruction project, as well as leadership decapitation. We have neither the treasure nor the will to play this nation-building game any more with our enemies.
