The West’s frequent use of military threats and citing of their ability to attack Iran at will has become a joke among Iranian commanders in the military, according to a high ranking military official in the Islamic Republic’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency reported on Wednesday.

Brigadier General Mohammad Ali Asoudi alluded to the West’s hesitancy to use military force and mocked its resolve while speaking to troops in the North.

“We should thank Obama for refreshing us by referring to his ‘options on the table’, including the military one; we just relax and laugh at such ridiculous words,” Asoudi said. …

Iran: ‘We will kill you.’

US: ‘Military options are not removed from the table.’

Iran: You threatened us! WE LAUGH AT YOUR THREATS!

1981 was different. In 2015, we are “led” by a marxist, muslim, homosexual, America hating woman. No wonder the Iranians find it hilarious, it would make a cat laugh..

We never should have elected a clown to be president. The Iranian Islamofascists have him eating out of their filthy hands. He is disgracing our country. I guess that’ s why the clowns in Oslo gave him one of their “everybody gets a trophy” medals.

I have a dog in this fight, myself, Cruz and/or Trump. I am tired of Zippy bending over and grabbing his ankles.

Yep. Every Third World totalitarian rathole on the planet is mooning us, and the rest of the world is probably biting the insides of their cheeks to keep from laughing. But, hey! All of the welfare rabble has taxpayer-subsidized Kenyacare and Obamaphones, so it's all rainbows and lollipops, right? [/sarc]

Has there ever been anything more amusing than the studied ignorance of the MSM as to the circumstances of the hostage release? ;)

Funny how the Iranians released the hostages before Ronaldus Magnus could get back to his office on Inauguration Day.

Now THAT was a laugh!

and we are waiting until they have the latest generation of Russian SAMs to defend themselves with?
Hit them NOW ! Hit them hard . Cause traumatic regime change.
Oh...and depose and arrest Obama and charge him with treason , allowing for the process of true settlement in the M.E.
Screw what the American Left say , they all belong in camps .

Obama is a by-word.. not just a joke...
America is judged by/for Obama.. for electing him..

And to be honest America should be judged harshly..
What an obscene gesture electing Obama...
It will take decades to live Obama down....

Jimmy Carter was just an anomaly.. Obama is moral decay..
Cruz or Trump can help... but it will be hard... vary hard.. democrats are not going away..
The other republican candidates are the walking dead... Yeah even Walker.

I haven’t lost hope.. America could come back.. probably..
Massive voter fraud is looking us in the face.. with no solutions.

Your a dreamer IF... you don’t know the democrats KNOW..
If Cruz or Trump get in the jig is up.. Washington gets “FLUSHED”..

They know and are preparing.. for what???...
DUH... massive voter fraud.. on a scale unseen to date..
AND the republicans(and the country) can do nothing about it..

Like Stalin said; “It’s not who votes, it’s who counts the votes..”
The democrats know this well... republicans have their tongues hanging out.. “drooling”..

NOT a word, not a smigeon, an iota, a particle of TALK goes on about this.. even HERE on Free Republic..
Seemes MOST DON’T WANT KNOW.. or even want to think about this..

2016.. can be and probably WILL BE won by voter fraud..
Voter fraud of many types.. many types.. not just illegal aliens voting multiple times..
There are many ways to perform a fraudulent election..

Nephews and Nieces... Uncle Sam is CORRUPT.. and a pervert..
Live with it.............. or NOT... get busy...

Yeah, what’s this guy going to do, threaten to play pocket pool with them. It’s long since past time Marine Air Group 20 flew again. Yes boys, loan them a few awesome B-1 bombers and support aircraft, problem solved forever. I’m sure I could even talk the General into being a pilot again, that’s how he rolled.
Semper Fi.
