| Iran vows Dire Revenge if attacked by Israel |
| 2003-12-24 |
| Iran will respond with overwhelming military force to any Israeli attack on its nuclear facilities, senior Iranian army officers and government officials warned yesterday. They were responding to a statement made by Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz on Israel Radio’s Persian-language broadcast last week, in which he implied that Israel would destroy Iran’s nuclear reactors, as it did with Iraq’s in the early 1980s, if it deemed this necessary for Israel’s safety. "The Zionist regime knows that the armed forces of the Islamic republic, and especially its air force, have such high capabilities that if [Israel] carries out a military attack against Iran, it will be digging its own grave," said the commander of the Iranian Air Force, General Seyed Reza Pardis, to the Iranian news agency Mehr. Iranian President Mohammed Khatami, said that Israel would be "swept away" if it dared to attack Iran. |

| #16 LOL Riverdog. The Kilo export class come with automatic Mecca sensors for fast alignment and noise quietened prayer rugs. (Built by Russian Jews of course). |

| #15 The best free advice site for HTML coding is Brian Wilson's site,Index Dot HTML. A Google search also led to this table. I hope the Israelis can wait until the evening of 6 March 2004, however. It would be cosmically appropriate. The pilots could take some nice hamantashen with them to snack on. And everytime the word Ayatollah was spoken, the IDF could drop their fancy noisemakers. |

| #14 Rivrdog, LOL--love that! Betcha the Israelis are really shaking in their yamulkes and have scrapped any war plans for this mission...NOT! I'll break open a bottle of champagne if the IAF gets all 3 nukeyalar reactors, too! |

| #13 Iran does have a few submarines, mostly coastal-diesels, but of the newer "quiet" type. Rumor had it a year ago they were trying to buy an Alpha or some fast old nuke boat from the Russkies. My bet is that we have a couple of attack boats in the area and would sink their sub fleet if it sortied. Dispite their quiet diesel boats, don't they have to surface 5 times a day to let the command-mullah sing from the conning tower? |

| #12 4IV: 2¢ worth: Trying to remember the incantations for stuff like © ® ™ ¶ £ got old in a hurry. Win3 had a cute little charmap.exe they lost, for some reason (along with write.exe, which was really good.) If you can find a fossil Win3 system, those files are well worth |

| #11 That would work 4thInfVetm except that the Mullahs probably gave the Jihadi's instructions on where the land mines are. However, I would like to know why Egyptian drones are passing over Israeli nuclear facilities. Because without Libya they need intel on what is required for a Nuclear bomb. |

| #10 It's the land mines when we invade Iran that worries me. Don't think of it as an obstacle, think of it as a deterrent for leaving. Plenty of jihadi will need to be contained some day, persia's as good a place as any. |

| #9 If Iran's Islamofascist tyranny refused to accept the destruction of their nuclear facilities as anything but a fait accompli, mere threat rhetoric would give Israel a free hand against Hizbullah. Ergo: splash Iran's nuclear potential, probably within the next few weeks. Ditto: Hizbullah. The Iranian dictatorship is a revolution from above, in any case, and has little popular support. The humiliation of an IDF success in Iran could lead to their demise. However, I would like to know why Egyptian drones are passing over Israeli nuclear facilities. |

| #6 Iran will respond with overwhelming military force to any Israeli attack on its nuclear facilities, senior Iranian army officers and government officials warned yesterday. I see your overwhelming force and raise a glass of wine in toast to the IAF/IDF should they excute such an attack successfully. |

| #4 Iran will respond with overwhelming military force to any Israeli attack on its nuclear facilities, They're equipment hasn't been used since the 80-88 Iraq/Iran War. Not to mention how they would get through Iraq. They would be crushed by the Army of Steve! I sure hope Iran tries. |

| #1 Hmm, for the Mighty Islamic Republic™ to get to Israel, it seems like they would have to get through a few divisions of U.S. military to do so. I stand by my assertion that mid-air fuelings make Iran vulnerable to whatever Israel decides should be their nuke plant's fate; however, I don't see how the reverse could be true. Seems like a good battalion of armored cav could go through the Iranians like sh*t through a goose. Reminds me of having my stomach barbecued and committing suicide at the Gates of Baghdad. |
