Army Commander says global oppression impotent for confrontation
2007-11-06
Global Oppression would make a nice name for a metal band. Hey, Megadeth was good enough!
Commander in Chief of IRI Army said here Monday global arrogance, despite access to advanced conventional and nonconventional weapons, has faced defeat in confrontation with our combatants' spirit of piety and iron will.

Major General Ata'ollah Salehi made the comment during an address at the 31st IRI Army Officers Graduation Ceremony, adding, "The importance of strengthening our armed forces spiritually is no less than fortifying their physical, technical and tactical capabilities." Major General Salehi said, "Our armed forces, particularly the champion IRI Army, relying on their spiritual and physical strength, resisted bravely against the entire threats posed by the global arrogance, particularly those by the United States, during the course of the (Iraqi) imposed war."
He added, "The superiority factor of our armed forces over the other armies is this very same spirit of human resistance and exemplary bravely, that has roots in our forces' strong belief in God."
"The IRI armed forces are entirely ready for effective confrontation with any possible threats against Iran's international borders", said Major General Salehi.

He added, "During our constant visits of the IRI Army units at the country's various borders we have noticed how innate the competence of our forces has got, although thanks to the increased threats of the enemies their war readiness and spiritual strength is at peak currently."
The Commander in Chief of the IRI Army reiterated, "By accusing the Islamic Republic of Iran baselessly, the global arrogance is after ruing the prestige of our sacred political system at global scene."

He added, "But today, relying on the prophetic leadership of the Supreme Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, it is we that are warning the US against the contiguous occupation role of its forces as a serious threat against regional and world security."

Good. Either stress or complacency will get to them after a while...
