TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Monday he was ready to don combat fatigues and give his life in battle if his country were attacked, accusing Washington of seeking any excuse to start a war.
The United States and Israel have both rattled sabers over Iran's disputed nuclear program, refusing to rule out air strikes to hinder what they see as Tehran's pursuit of atomic weapons.
Khamenei stressed he would remain in the public eye if war came, unlike U.S. officials whom he accused of fleeing for cover after the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001.
"If this nation is tested by a bitter experience, I will wear battle fatigues and will be ready to sacrifice myself at the head of the nation," he told pilgrims in the northeastern holy city of Mashhad.

No need to invade Iran...
There are a few million Iranians who would like to remove the Ayatollah.

The left-wing of the world cheer at the Islamofascist bragging. Just like Hitler and Stalin they shout their evil bile from the rooftops and the MSM gets on their knees to worship their gods.

Khamenei: If you want to be a mullah, you have to really hate the Americans.
Abu (of the famous Iranian folktale "Life of Abu" fame): But I do hate the Americans!
Khamenei: Oh yeah? How much?
Abu: A lot.
Khamenei: Right. You're in.

Didn't Clinton say the same thing--"fight and die for Israel"? Maybe we can get these guys together and kill two birds with one stone.

This is a "line of death," you cross it you die.

Just another simpering Islamo-fascist puss-bag...wouldn't be the first time the ringing refrain of "Holy War!" turns into the terrified yelp of "Holy SHIT!"
