| Iranian Marines Set to Escort Flotilla 'To Teach Israel Lessons' |
| 2010-06-13 |
| Two Iranian ships intended to head for Hamas-controlled Gaza are waiting for their government's approval to challenge Israel on the high seas, escorted by "volunteer marines" that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wants to send "to teach Israelis a lesson." An Iranian Red Crescent official said the two ships are waiting for the Iranian foreign ministry to give the green light for launching, according to the French news service AFP, quoting the Iranian Mehr news service. The Red Crescent said a third ship probably would join the fleet. Red Crescent official Mojtaba Majd also claimed that more than 100,000 Iranians have signed up to board the ships, but only those with "expertise" would be accepted. Majd did not define the area of expertise required. |

| #4 "the charged anti-Israeli atmosphere following the latest flotilla clash has encouraged Arab and left-wing colleagues" Yeah everyone was aghast at the Israelis until they saw the video footage. IMHO they waited far too long before they used lethal force. |

| #2 a relatively short trip, what could go wrong? Lost at sea, Somali pirates. a Kraken, Nork subs, stray torpedoes, no passage at the Suez, Cindy Sheehan offering herself as a human shield, .... I expect we can milk this for weeks and in the end, the Iranians won't do a fooking thing. It's all talk from short-dick trying to man-up and be a "regional power". They could give a shit about the Paleos except for hurting the Juice |

| #1 Oh no! The Israelis have really done it this time. The Iranians are coming - the most feared and glorous military force in the world. Israel, please say you're sorry and convert to Islam. Do it for the children. And make Obama happy too. You still have a chance - not much - but maybe if you beg for mercy, Hallah and madjab will forgive you. |
