| Iran: We have 70,000 suicide bombers ready to strike Israel |
| 2009-01-06 |
| More than 70,000 Iranian student volunteers have registered to carry out suicide bombings against Israel because of Israel's assault on the Gaza Strip. According to the official IRNA news agency, hardline student leader Esmaeil Ahmadi says the students want to fight Israel in support of Hamas - Gaza's Islamic militant rulers. Five hard-line student groups and a conservative clerical group launched a registration drive last week to ask the government to allow them to stage the suicide attacks. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government has not responded to the call yet. The government never responded to similar requests in the past. This raises the likelihood that the calls are mainly for propaganda purposes |

| #11 Since they'd have to either walk, take a ship, or fly there, not much chance. Too many nasssssty Americans in the way. |

| #7 The way I see it, once Gaza is pretty well scrubbed of Hamas and its rocketry, Israel has little reason to not go ahead and denuclearize Iran. Preferably while Bush is still POTUS. |

| #6 Let's hope the Iranian's suicide training program is extremely realistic. |

| #5 Signing up on the list is one thing. Getting inside israel with a bomb and having the stones to set it off is quite another. Big talk that amounts to squat. |
