TEHRAN (FNA)- Chief of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces Major General Hassan Firouzabadi warned the US officials of the fatal consequences and aftermaths of Washington's military intervention in Libya.
| Yeah, yeah. Go talk to your boss about it, but don't speak 'down' to him, even though it will be hard. |
"Any kind of US measure and interference in Libya will not only stabilize Islamic Revolutions in the region and further clarify their path and direction, but also cause a severe blow to the US economy and increase their (Americans') debts and budget deficit," Firouzabadi cautioned in his remarks on Saturday.
| Please, our military spends more on hammers and toilet seats then we'd spend to remove Qadaffy, if our C-in-C wanted to make it happen. |
He dismissed the Washington and Pentagon officials' explicit hints about an imminent US military intervention in Libya, and said, "The Libyan people have risen and shown that they can liberate their country and they are much different from the Iraqi and the Afghan people."
| Perhaps the Libyans, Iraqis and Tunisians share a certain characteristic with the Iranian people... |
The top military official noted that the capitalist system is seeking to develop its strategies in the wealthy and Muslim states which possess abundant oil wells and resources, and mentioned, "The reality is that the US wants to stage a military intervention to find control over Libya's oil wells as it did in Iraq with the Iraqi oil."
| If all we had wanted was the oil we would have made a deal with Saddam. |
