| 200 pledge willingness to carry out suicide attacks against Americans, Israelis | |
| 2004-12-03 | |
Sounds like a gathering of cockroaches looking for a can of Raid to me. The ceremony was organized by the Headquarters for Commemorating Martyrs of the Global Islamic Movement, a shadowy group that has since June been seeking volunteers for attacks in Iraq and Israel. And the wild-eyed, Black Hat maniacs of Tehran do NOT....I say again, do NOT have anything to do with this. A spokesman, Ali Mohammadi, described Thursday's group as the "first suicide commando unit," though another official has claimed members already have carried out attacks in Israel. Tick...tick...tick. The countdown to D-Day in Tehran continues. "Sooner or later we will bury all blasphemous occupiers of Islamic lands," Mohammadi said. Mohammadi...Are you going in with the first team? Or are you too important, and will stay home to recrutit? Sunday, Iran's deputy interior minister for security affairs told reporters the movement had no official sanction and said such groups could operate only "as long as their ideas are limited to theory." The group, though, has the backing of some prominent hard-line Iranian politicians. As Billy-boy said, "Deny, deny, deny! The deputy minister, Ali Asghar Ahmadi, did not say if the government had tried to crack down on the military style training the group claims to offer or whether officials believed any of its volunteers had crossed into Iraq or into Israel. Uh, yeah. Sure. Like Schultz in Hogan's Heros said, "I know nussing. I know nussing!" Iran has had no diplomatic ties with the United States since the 1979 Islamic revolution ousted the U.S.-backed shah. But it says it has no interest in fomenting instability in Iraq and that it tries to block any infiltration into Iraq by insurgents - while pleading that its porous borders are hard to police. Damn....BS meter just pegged! Iran portrays Israel as its main nemesis and backs anti-Israeli groups like Lebanon's Hezbollah. It's followed closely by the Kurds, and the Sunnis. Wives, husbands and children accompanied volunteers to the cemetery, which was decorated with posters denouncing America and Israel. Sounds like a party to me. Was Michael Moore there? "I joined the unit to fulfill my religious task for Palestine," said a volunteer who gave only his age - 23. Clue time: The paleos are secular you idiot. You apparently want to die for a bunch of islamo-infidels just to kill joooos. Thursday's ceremony included the unveiling of two-meter (6-foot) stone column commemorating a 1983 attack on U.S. Marine barracks in Lebanon as "the biggest suicide bombing operation against global blasphemy." That, just like the bridge in Falluja, will be revenged you scum sucking, POS. I had an OCS buddy who died in that rubble. Never forgive that. Never forget it. In the early hours of Oct. 23, 1983, a truck carrying more than 2,000 pounds of explosives sped past a sentry post and exploded in the center of the barracks, killing 241 Marines. Then U.S. President Ronald Reagan ordered U.S. troops to withdraw from Lebanon a few months after the bombing. Reagan's biggest mistake...putting Marines in harms way without proper ROE's. In 2003 a federal judge blamed Iran for the 1983 terrorist bombing in Beirut and said Tehran would have to pay damages to survivors and relatives. There is a special place in Hell for them. | |

| #2 This would have been an excellent target for that orbital tungsten rod-dropping weapon I read about in Popular Science (or was is Mechanics?) a while back. Imagine, after professing a willingness to give their lives, that their wish to die is suddenly granted. |

| #1 If I'm put in front of a camera and kept anonymous by a mask, I'm willing to say a lot of dumb s--t I don't believe either--especially if there's money or political advancement (or free cookies--yum!) involved. |
