| 'US gave up war plans because of Iran's might' |
| 2010-02-19 |
| A senior Iranian commander says the country's military might forced the US into giving up its plans to launch an attack against Iran. "When the US realized the capabilities of Iran's armed forces and the military maneuvers they can hold, it changed its mind and gave up plans to attack Iran," the Commander of Iran's Ground Forces Brig. Gen. Ahmad-Reza Pourdastan said. He noted that the US has carried out terrorist attacks in order to use them as pretexts to launch wars in the Middle East to control the world economy. "The US planned and carried out the 9/11 attacks with support from Zionists," Fars news agency quoted Pourdastan as saying on Wednesday. "The US claimed that terrorists have carried out the attacks in order to find a pretext for presence in the [Middle East] region," he stated. The Iranian general noted that the US invasion on Iran was planned to take place after the US occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. |

| #5 Good grief, for some reason this makes me flash back to when I was in the Sinai after the second Arab Israeli war and saw an IDF tank literally tied to the ground with control wires from anti tank missiles that had missed...great hardware, those French made wire guided AT missiles but the Arabs were and probably still are LOUSY shots... Now that our Army is the most battle seasoned and battle tested in the world...what does that bunch of thugs think they are...we'll eat their lunch in about two weeks and have dinner in Teheran. |

They can really Baghdad Bob you heavy. Its Ya Allah at its best. We should be quivering in fear. Where is the mayonnaise? Do you want a beef or a pork wiener for that? A "senior Iranian military commander" you say.? File him under a small jar of cheap Mustard. |

| #3 This just gave me a funny thought. I'd love to be in the heads of Middle Easterners if the US were to announce. "Okay, a**holes, we've had enough of your $h*t. Next time you see our tanks we're taking over and going back to that whole colonization thing. You'll get the gov't that WE think is best for the likes of you. Dig?" |
