| Iran threatens brutal attacks on Americans, Obama family if US hits Syria |
| 2013-09-07 |
| [DAILYCALLER] In an unprecedented statement, a former Iranian official has warned of mass abductions and brutal killings of American citizens around the world and the rape and killing of one of Obama's daughters should the United States attack Syria. Alireza Forghani, the former governor of southern Iran's Kish Province, threw down the gauntlet last week. Forghani is an analyst and strategy specialist in the supreme leader's camp and closely aligned with Mehdi Taeb, who heads the regime's Ammar Strategic Base, a radical think thank, and thus speaks with the blessing of the Islamic regime. "Hopefully Obama will be pigheaded enough to attack Syria, and then we will see the ... loss of U.S. interests [through terrorist attacks]," he threatened. "In just 21 hours [after the attack on Syria], a family member of every U.S. minister [department secretary], U.S. ambassadors, U.S. military commanders around the world will be kidnapped. And then 18 hours later, videos of their amputation will be spread [around the world]." |

| #8 Why should a rational Iran not interpret this as a victory? It's distressing that you make a great deal of sense, Elmerert Hupens2660. |

| #7 The Taliban got away with 9/11. Bush's ultimatum, his 'Red Line', began to fade away when Powell essentially told the Pakistanis to ignore Bush's statement to a joint session of congress. Given the history of the past 12 years why should a rational thug not make these threats? What exactly does he have to fear? The Friday after 9/11 2001 the Iranians didn't dare perform their usual 'Death to America' chant at the official prayers. About 5 years later the Western political class accepted Iran's Rushdie rules as legitimate. Why should a rational Iran not interpret this as a victory? |

| #6 This morning, the Muslim Brotherhood warned the United States that if the United States continued meddling in Syria, Libya, and other potential hot spots in the Middle East, they intend to cut off America's supply of 7-11 and Motel 6 managers. If this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by Dell, AT&T, and AOL customer service reps. Finally, if all else fails, they have threatened to not send us any more presidents. It's gonna get ugly, people. |

| #3 Drawing all the snakes out of the pit into the sun is just a logical consequence, wouldn't give B. Hussein too much credit for a fortunate accident. |

| #2 Hmm. Maybe there is a good reason to go to war with Syria after all. Sort of a two-fer. |
