Iran to ready thousands of graves for enemy soldiers
afp ^ | 6/29/09 | afp

Posted on 06/29/2008 3:13:11 PM PDT by Flavius

Iran is to dig 320,000 graves in border districts to allow for the burial of enemy soldiers in the event of any attack on its territory, a top commander said on Sunday.

"In implementation of the Geneva Conventions... the necessary measures are being taken to provide for the burial of enemy soldiers," the Mehr news agency quoted General Mir-Faisal Bagherzadeh as saying.

"We have plans to dig 15,000 to 20,000 graves in each of the border provinces or a total of 320,000," the general said, some of them mass graves if necessary.

Bagherzadeh said Iran was keen to "reduce the suffering of the families of the fallen in any attack against our country... and prevent any repetition of the long and bitter experience of the Vietnam War."

Well, at least they’ll be prepared to bury their own.

Why not just NUKE Iran. The world would be much better off.

Good, maybe Amydinnerjacket will fall into one and they can cover it over and put a big rock on top of it.

Unless Iran gets lucky and shoots down one of our aircraft, there’s no chance of them “burying” anyone except their own soldiers, by the hundreds of thousands.

So...they figure they will have no KIA?

Or they are afraid to admit that they are really preparing for mass casualties in the event of a “problem” at one of their nuclear facilities?

Can you imagine the effect on the morale of your typical Iranian soldier? I understand that the leaders of Iran think that these graves are for invaders, but your typical Iranian grunt must think these graves are for him.

Great marketing ploy, Akmadenajab.

OPINION:

Note to Ahmadinejad and your fellow nuts:

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..... Thank God we have a sense of humor.

Cut the propaganda and get some help. You all obviously have an
anger management problem and are suffering from Iranian propaganda overload.

Stay away from your “peaceful” nuclear projects for awhile.
They are obviously clouding any possibility of good judgment on your part.

Nobody is going to invade Iran with soldiers on the ground. They are wasting their time digging.

No, they are not. They’ll need those graves for their own if any military action does take place.

Hmm, looks like they are trying to play a little bit of psychological warfare here.

Of course, it won’t work if destruction cometh from above.

Hey, Ahmedinejad, you dig the holes and to test them you have a Revolution Guard stand in the hole and another Revolutionary Guard shoot him in the head. Repeat as often as necessary to be certain the graves work.

All that ever comes from any of these muslims is a bunch of huff’n’puff. The more they threaten, the more desperate their situation. It’s part of their culture - lie and threaten, then run like hell when seriously called on it. Cowards, sneak murderers, liars and thieves. It’s called “islam”.

And every Mother's Day he calls up Mom with good wishes, and every year she answers with the same porcine squeal and grunt that only someone like Ahmadinnerjacket can appreciate.

Iran has begged to be turned into a sea of glass by all of their threats made openly for the world to see. So do not be surprised to see Iran turned into a sea of glass.

Those clowns must have learned their “demoralizing propaganda” from the comic books.....

If they expect the attack will come on the ground by troops — they’ll be looking about 20,000 feet two low for the threat..

Since they have NO DEFENSE for the coming airborne attack - as demonstrated by the Israeli attack on the Syrian nuclear site — they have to play act that they will be slaughtering troops on their territory..

When all you have is a hammer — everything looks like a nail.

The poor bastard — he NEEDS us to bomb him for two reasons:

1. Until threated by an outside enemy - his own grasp on power is drawing to a close..

2. This lunatic REALLY believes that their “Lost Saviour” won’t escape the well until Armageddon..

Mother = Russia. I don't believe for a micro that Russia would enter
any theater directly. Supplies? OK, Indirectly? yes.

Israel should just do the job, and be done with it.


Oil prices be damned? Why the hell not! For NOT! The media isn't saying anything
about all the other countries that are suffering.
Just the USA. Therefore, the Global (SCAM) warming, is the USA only!

/BAH I need another whiskey

I could do with a whiskey myself.

As for Russia not getting directly involved?

If it were anyone but Tsar Putin, I might agree with you.

But Pooty-Poot has no soul, contrary to what our illustrious President thought he saw when he peered into his eyes, Russia has invested a great deal of time and effort into cultivating Iran, if Israel screws up their plans, Russia isn’t going to take it laying down.
