Iran's Hezbollah set for 'WW3'
News 24 (SA) ^ | 7/18/2006 | Staff

Tehran - Iran's Hebollah, which claims links to the Lebanese group of the same name, said on Tuesday it stood ready to attack Israeli and US interests worldwide.

"We have 2 000 volunteers who have registered since last year," said Iranian Hezbollah's spokesperson Mojtaba Bigdeli, speaking by telephone from the central seminary city of Qom.

"They have been trained and they can become fully armed.

"We are ready to dispatch them to every corner of the world to jeopardise Israel and America's interests.

"We are only waiting.

"If America wants to ignite World War Three ... we welcome it," he said.

Iranian religious organisations have made great public show of recruiting volunteers for "martyrdom-seeking operations" in recent years, usually threatening US interests in case of any attack against the Islamic Republic's nuclear programme.

But there is no record of an Iranian volunteer from these recruitment campaigns taking part in an attack.

Iran's Hezbollah (Party of God) says it is spiritually bound to Shi'ite Muslim fighters in Lebanon, but its command structure and funding are unclear.

Despite Iranian Hezbollah's insistence that it takes orders from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, government ministries say Hizbollah does not implement official policy.

Iran's government has said it hopes for a diplomatic solution to the Israeli offensive in Lebanon.

While Iran did fund and support Lebanese Hezbollah during the 1980s, Tehran says it has not contributed troops or weapons in the latest violence.

Israel says Iranian armaments have been fired against it.

"If America wants to ignite World War Three ... we welcome it," he said.

So Hizbollah/Iran/Syria is ready for a nuclearized battlefield?

SPLENDID!

I bet we could come up with 2,000 volunteers in about 10 minutes.

If this continues there will only be one choice for the (still) free world---take out all military installations and don't wait for the Israelis to do it.

I'm not holding my breath. The libs are pissed off that we're fighting a WOT even after we got hit 5 years ago.

Ideally, the bad guys should blow up the Big Dig. Then we'd get a two-fer. /s

You are right, of course, but...when will we quit playing tiddlywinks with these people? I fear that we will get serious only after another mass casualty attack on our soil.

And that's much too late, IMHO. Delay of the inevitable total war with Islamofacism ensures more American military lives will be sacrificed, and more American civilians will be killed.

But, hey, at least we will be civilized and understanding, right?

I wish we had such a resource, a paramilitary army of misfits and fanatics willing to terrorize our enemies, but an army that we can deny that we arm, fund, or control.

Aren't there a lot of those guys (mercenaries) living in Idaho?

We know they are here in mosques across the country. I am amazed that we have not been hit since 9-11.

Me too. However, the only thing I can think of is our security, intellegence, and police are doing a great job finding and stopping such attacks.

I'm going to call my 83 yr old Mom now and chew the fat, I wonder if the DBM/dems will worry that Bush (himself) will listen to our little chat?

The DBM/dems are so stupid, they even defy stupidity! Thank goodness Bush is listening to EVERY phone call and watching every financial, monetary transaction in America like the NYT has indicated!!! Where would we be without their treachery?...Asswipes!

Your enthusiasm mirrors that of a lot of FReepers who predicted that we would do this to Afghanistan.

Hizballah uses women and children as human shields, they pushed women and children in front of them, they have no honor, no courage. They are gruesome cowards!

So am I.

FYI: plug in your hometown and find the local mosque--

A little more to ponder:

Why we must monitor mosques

In "Mosque Matters: Maybe we’d tackle the tough issues if we got that we’re at war," Michael Ledeen at National Review argues for what I have been arguing for for years: that we must monitor American mosques.It’s interesting that British jihadis came to Queens to recruit Americans — and no doubt some of them, fully trained in slaughter, have returned to these shores — but the important thing is the mosque. Because there’s always a mosque, as my Italian friend Magdi Allam has been repeating for several years. Not all mosques are jihadi, but all jihadis come from a mosque.

Well, I still haven't put the guns away yet from Saturday's shoot so I guess I am good to go.

Hint of advice, best send all 2000 to Texas. They would be spread thin here, much less taking on the entire world.

yet again:
"If America wants to ignite World War Three ... we welcome it," he said."

If you begin to understand what the Islamabad's are trying to convey whenever they make a threat such as this, you will begin to learn that they will never really understand the way we think, nor the way we will eventually completely and wholly smash their existence back to the soup where they originally came from.

Even those I deal with in my community exhibit a sort of total misunderstanding of our ways. They usually try to be "learned" by using a predetermined phrase over and over (e.g. good morning, how are you doing, over and over, never changing their introduction, even when the circumstances call for it) and they will then make their demands, like I want this item, I want it now... and when you try to explain in a polite way, they simply ignore you and make their demands again, and again.

They are taught from the start that all Americans are timid and easily influenced to act in any way they want you to. When they realize that this is not the case, they are dumbfounded and begin to make statements or threats that make no sense. They then reveal their real thoughts: THEY HATE US AND WANT US DEAD. If you are unaware of this, just take a cab ride from Dulles to Reagan Airport a couple of times, the scene and play acting is always the same. I actually forced one Islamic taxi driver to stop when it was obvious his breaks did not work right, and he was furious when I told him I didn't want to ride in his cab anymore. He was making comments and yelling words that were quite offensive. I probably would have been hurt less for the fact that I take full advantage of my CWP.

We know you are here, we know you want us dead, and we know you are waiting for the time to strike, but you forget or have never learned, we waiting for the time to strike, too!

Believe me, I am not a bigoted hateful person. I just see the facts for what they are. THEY REALLY DO WANT US DEAD! If these animals will kill their own children, they do not give a damn over any American man, women or child! If we chose to ignore this fact, we will lose. It's not a win or lose situation, it's live or die.

Remember the game, Paper, rock, scissors? Now it is: Terrorists, Gun, bigger Gun! It's the only way to win this war, and it is a war. We have to have a bigger gun because paperwork and diplomacy will not work with terrorists. Why do you think Arafat was murdered by his own?

You make good sense, PP.

These evil, God-less Muslims judge the core of the American people by the silly, politically correct simpletons we elect (due to extremely limited choices)that do all the endless talking.

What we have to go through to get these members of our political class to act as the majority of Americans wish them to is just mind-numbing.

When we consider the thousands and thousands of bureaucrats these politicians have surrounded themselves with it indeed becomes highly aggravating.

You do have a way with words, River Rat!

If the US would, in a very short span of time, do to the nations of islam (and North Korea as well) what you suggest the rest of the world would spend a month catching their breath due to the complete and utter surprise of our doing such an "impetuous" thing.

Usually our leaders would jawbone for a very long time enabling our enemies to marshal their forces and do immeasurable damage in the interim.

We musn't forget Russia and China, however. In China's case, we have allowed them to amass military power due to their manufacturing and exporting everything to the United States from Christmas tree ornaments to Tinkertoys. Most every missile they own is pointed at the United States and someday they plan to launch those missiles.

In the case of Russia (whose GNP is well under that of the Netherlands), they will hate us forever for being such patsys as to help them defeat Hitler....much like the French for that matter.

We're surrounded by enemies and we're damned if we do and damned if we don't, so I say we should do!

We know they are here in mosques across the country.

They are all over the landscape. Many are huge.

Driving up I-75, just North of Cincinnati, there is a large one looming over the expressway and south of Toledo there is another huge islamic edifice.

I'm positive there are no bingo games being held in those structures and the imams are busy recruiting new members from amongst those who have become disenchanted with democracy and Christianity.

It's become shocking to me to see the decline of the Catholic Church, especially in America, and the closing and selling off of Church property while the mosques proliferate, expand and continue to build.

We're in deep trouble and this cancer has been allowed to spread as has the illegal aliens that pour into our nation.
