Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Iran: We have 70,000 suicide bombers ready to strike Israel
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

#1  70,000.... do I Hear 80,000.

70,000 going once...

SOLD! To the idiots that believe anything from Iran.

If they had them, why advertise it?
Plus, by the time they get them there, there isn't going to be Hamas left in Gaza.

#2  HMMMMM....

Pragmatically, IRAN knows Israel will attack it iff it goes NUKULAR - however, THE ISLAMIST JIHAD NEEDS NUCLEARIZATION AND FOR IRAN TO GO DE FACTO NUKULAR. As R. LEE would say, IRAN has itself a DEEEEEEEELLLLEEEEEEMMMMMMAA [dilemma].

#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.

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

#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.

#10  Would some sort of EMP device be able to pre-detonate these things?

#11  Since they'd have to either walk, take a ship, or fly there, not much chance.

Too many nasssssty Americans in the way.

#1  Not for fun?

#2  If you listen to the Arab media, it's cause they are losing to Hamas so badly that they just want to kill civilians for revenge.

Then they drink their blood and make soap from the babies.

Oh yeah, and Ham-Ass has them right where they want them.
