Khomeini Slaughtered the Military

AntiMullah ^ | 12/06/08 | Alan Peters & Iran Sources

Formal statistics are impossible to come by as killing of officers and non-commissioned members of the late-Shah's military and security forces were not centrally ordered.

We have tried to gather numbers that are as reliable as possible but they are, at best, estimates. Usually very accurate estimates but we believe we have understated actual numbers.

Here are some figures in no particular order, other than as they came in.

144 Air Force Pilots including the Nojeh attempted counter-revolution by the Air Force. (Nojeh is still a not fully told story we will write up as time permits. We have have the facts but not the time).

For those who were involved in confronting Khomeini's revolution as it was orchestrated from inside the Soviet Embassy in Tehran in 1979, the similarity of the Obama campaign tactics and false promises is stunning!

The only difference was the actual content of the promises made, based on locality (Iran and USA) and what the people might want to hear.

Despite Obama's Communist playbook of tactics and similarities to those of the 12 or 13 Soviet urban guerilla tacticians/psychologists, one difference was the type of tactics to disinform the public.

Obama could not accuse President Bush of shooting at his supporters and leave red antiseptic Mercurochrome splashed on street asphalt to simulate/infer wounded anti-regime being shot and bleeding, or scattered single shoes - never a pair - to indicate hurried removal of bodies, but he did use ACORN and set up his private promotional offices to promote himself instead of or in addition to, Democrat Party locations all over the USA.

Same concepts different applications tailored to location

Eery similarity of tactics of Khomeini and the American Khomeini, Obama!

This is one reason why Khomeni lost the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980’s.

[padre35]

This was Jimmuh Cahter’s real sin in Iran, he more or less gave the message that the military should play along with Khomeni, that things were going to be fine.

[4Speed]

Obama doesn’t have the Power, the People have the Power, and we still have our Guns and ammo. Sales are up, ya know ?

All the mass killings are why we are in Iraq, and Afghanistan, with Iran in the middle. . . . Running out of Money with 40 dollar Oil, running out of Gas if we want to bomb their one Refinery, and running out of Time with Israel taking “Ad Demo Job” at his word about destroying them.

Don’t start a War without an Air Force and a Navy . . . Rubber Boats don’t count, Planes without Pilots don’t count.

Now India is pissed, and I feel a new Coaliton forming.

Of course we cannot forget General Rabi and Lt. General Khourshadad and victims of the Ayatollah.

Yes and they got their throats slit and the families burned alive as thanks.. But the Agent of Satan Carter sailed on his merrily way unscathed to this day he is a joke among the Arabs for the way he got played.. You know with the Russian's coming into Afghanistan filling the vacuum he caused in 1979 you could pin 9/11 and the WOT on that POS.

Alas we won't be in it, for at least four years.

[El Sordo]

Interesting.

Gen Rabii, Commander of the Imperial Air Force will be part of the “Crash and Burn of the Imperial Air Force” article Alan has outlined to write and present on AntiMullah. (Another pending Alan world exclusive).

Nobody pays us so we have to try to make ends meet and find time to do things like that. Or more accurately, enough energy. The hours are there.

Good try on the other name. It’s General Manuchehr Khosrowdaad, of the Imperial Army Air Command who was another very loyal and capable officer, who (along with four other Generals) begged the Shah to allow him to snuff out the PRE-revolution rioting like a candle.

The Shah asked how many would be killed doing this.

“Around five thousand” was his reply.

“I am not going save my throne in the blood of so many of my people”, the Shah replied and denied permission.

If only he had known that far more than this number of his officers and entourage would be murdered, or that Khomeini would spill the blood of around one million Iranians and had thus limited the disaster down to this tiny number!

Or that Iran would lose several million more to overseas locations in a huge brain drain that left the country with few experienced men and women to help run it. Even for the ignorant, uneducated clerics, whose only studies were, for the most part, the Koran and zilch else.

When asked about the national budget, that was delivered in bound volumes in index form to parliament in a couple of small suitcases, under the Monarchy, ignorantly and SERIOUSLY replied, and MEANT IT, that he had written it out on a piece of paper he had in his pocket.

What a moron!

Have Americans descended to similar depths with Obama?

[deannadurbin]

Obama = Carter 2

[Tainan]

Ebriham Biglari...Senior Master Sargent Iranian Army...murdered at his home by Khomeini zealots after the fall of the Shah. He was an true Iranian patriot. They put his head on the front gate to his home and told his wife and children they would kill them if they removed it.

He, and his family, were dear friends of mine.

This is one reason why Khomeni lost the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980’s.

It was a stalemate. Saddam failed also utterly at achieving his objective of annexing South-West Iran's oilfields. The true failure of Iran, that was the result of the Mullah's purges within the military, was the beginning of the war itself. Like Stalin's purges invited Hitler to attack, the Mullah's purges led Saddam to think that the Iranians will be easily defeated.

For decades Iraq, especially under Baathist rule, was in conflict with the Shah's Iran. Iraq entirely under Soviet influence and rabid with Arab Socialism was the nemesis of the Shah's Iran, which led to a rapid arms built-up throughout the 1970's. However as long as the Shah was in charge, with American and Western supply of arms, Iraq never dared attacking Iran. The Imperial Iranian Army would have squashed Saddam's Army like a bug. After the Revolution the Iranians had to make up their loss of technology and brainpower by the well-known desparate tactics like human-waves and child soldiers.

Shahanshah PING

[SolidWood]

The Shah said:"A dictator can kill his own people. A King can not." It is interesting to remember the previous islamist riots of 1963/64 which were put down with force under PM Alam. The Shah wouldn't take responsibility for it. His father didn't take crap from islamist rioters in Mashad 1935, who protested the emancipation of women. Retrospectively it is unfortunate that Reza Shah didn't succeed in eradicating Mullah power entirely under his reign.

I was in “Khaneh”, Esfahan when our housing area was overrun by AK-47 thugs looking for It’s General Manuchehr Khosrowdaad. They found him 3 days later elsewhere. Somehow, I seem to remember that he refused a blindfold when they executed him.

[ThanhPhero]

Clinton didn’t “slaughter” the military but he did carry out a very thorough purge of all the services beginning with the Tailhook scandal. That is probably the principal reason that we got bogged down so badly in Iraq. Things didn’t improve until the Clinton political officer corps was recognized as incompetent and finally replaced along with a small increase in manpower.
