Things have reached a sad state of affairs when our enemies can count on domestic traitors for aid and comfort.
Iran ping
Good post.

Gee. Looks like the Iranians know how we plan wars, campaigns, operations and battles.
Let's throw in the towel now.
Not.
a position in which it will either have to surrender or fight.
OK, fight it is.
The Mullahs are still fighting the last crusade.
The bunker is several hundred yards from the mosque?
It will be rubble and the mosque will still stand untouched.
One almost could feel pity on the poor sods but they will
reap what they sow.
Iran. Venezuela. Just pick one and take its oil. After all, we've already been convicted and served the sentence in the court of world opinion.
Okay. I don't really mean we should do it, but I am sick of being badmouthed for doing what we have not done, and have no intention of doing.
The mind boggles.
One common thread I've heard in conversations with soldiers who've been to Iraq is that we in the West simply cannot grasp the mindset of people in that part of the world. SImple as it is- it's the only explanation for the idea that Iran can actually contemplate going to war with us.
Looks like they're being fooled by the MSM, too.
I wouldn't bother with a conventional ground invasion of Iran, not until we have a six month long air campaign first.
Just think: Iran-the B-52's newest carpet-bombing practice range...
Of course the best thing would be a few well-aimed nuclear missiles...
In the past few weeks top regime figures, including Khamenehi and Ahmadinejad, have made a series of unscheduled visits to Mash'had, Iran's second largest city. One curious fact revealed during these visits is that a bunker-like structure to house the "supreme guide" is being completed close to the "holy shrine" of Reza, the eighth imam. The complex could also house the top echelon of government, including the president, the Cabinet and members of the Islamic Majlis (Parliament).
The choice of Mash'had is not accidental. The city is located 1,000 km from Tehran and thus as far as possible inside Iran from American fire power in Iraq and the Gulf. The US is also expected to shrink from attacks against the Mash'had bunker for fear of collateral damage to the "holy shrine" of the imam a few hundred yards away.
I wonder what the citizens of Meshed would think of all this.
Certainly, there are a lot of rumours in Iran about the army getting battle ready, in case they get done like Iraq and Afghanistan.
So did the taliban and saddam. It will be the mother of all wars with the holy, supreme whatever crapping in their pants once the US rolls through them.
Iran produces almost nothing of interest for export outside of oil. They are giants only in their own mind (the leadership's that is). This article is nonsensical.
Probably most of Iran's vehement fighters have already blown themselves up after crossing the border into Iraq trying to weaken U.S. resolve.
As Eli Wallach said, "if you're going to shoot, shoot! Don't talk!)
Yes. Let's continue to underestimate the raw horror a free people can cull from their imagination and provoke them into war-- unleashing thousands of nightmares.
That would be the second leg in the axis to fall.
Not difficult to believe at all.
Islamic Iran is the holy government which sacrificed tens of thousands of children during the the Iran-Iraq War. Young girls were great at clearing minefields. Boys made excellent shields during sacrificial human wave attacks, though they often required tethering with rope to discourage their cowardly retreat.
We need the covert services of the free world to provide mucho technical and cash assistance to anyone willing to relieve these mullahs and their revolutionary incubuses of their satanic lives, and return them straight to the hell which spawned them.
Iran could not defeat Iraq. Nuff said.
Iran wants war. They feel like if we invade Iran they can get the Muslims and other anti-american countries to fight us. We're in for some interesting times ahead.
This would really be a stupid move. If they retreat to their bases, their bases will be utterly destroyed. This scenario completely leaves out America's greatest strength; Air Power. To be able to stand back and destroy an army from the air, and then let our world class army and marines take the remnant, is totaly playing into our hands.
Another very important factor the "Arab News" leaves out is the Iranian people themselves. So the mullahs think if it gets hot with them we wouldn't arm the students? I recall last year the students hung some of them from the trees. Armed with hundreds of thousands of Saddam's surplus Kalishnikovs, the pro-Democracy forces might be too much for the mullahs. Instead of hoping Hollywood and the American left rise up against Bush, they better worry about their own downtrodden people!
What a bunch of BS. The Iranians fought the Iraqis for 10 years and barely eeked out a draw. The Americans overran Iraq in 3 weeks. If we attack Iran, there will be regime change. (Not that I am predicting an attack).
