Geez...they couldn't defeat Iraq after ten years....reduced themselves to sending small children into minefields to clear them....

We defeated Saddam's entire military in 100 hours.....

Yawn....if an Iranian General speaks...does anyone really listen???? They're just a bunch of Persian Pansies....

What if we turned Iran into a ceramic bowl? Would it be us that finished it, General?

[GrandEagle]

Interesting game of Chicken they are playing.
Either he is very stupid, or Iran has available to them weapons we are not aware of - yet. The third option is that he underestimates the US and is betting the entire farm that we won't do anything.
I doubt seriously if they are that stupid.

Even in back in high school, it was wise not to underestimate the little loud mouth pip-squeak; sometimes he was just a stupid loud mouth, sometimes he knew something you didn't know he knew.
I do hope we do our homework very well.

Cordially,

"I would advise them to first get out of their quagmire in Iraq before getting into an even bigger one,"

Where have I heard that before? Sounds like he got the demorats talking points.

"You can start a war but it won't be you who finishes it,"

This nut believes that bearding the US into attacking Iran will bring the final battle and the Caliphate (Muslim Domination of the World) He seems to think Allah is a nut too.

The general population of Iran is basically moderate. Getting rid of the Jihadists and the corrupt religious leaders of the country has to be a priority of the whole world. That might be said of a number of Arabic countrys dominated by the nutcase religious leaders.

That advice might by passed on the our own so-called religious leaders who have a following of protestant fanatics.

The Collected Quotations of "Baghdad Bob," Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf: The Iraqi Minister of DisInformation

Mocking the Coalition's Attempt To Target Saddam Hussein:
"These villains, and in particular the villain Bush, said they had struck Iraq with 40 cruise missiles to assassinate President Saddam Hussein.  Not only are they disappointed, I think they are hysterical."

Attempting to Acknowledge What Was Happening Militarily Beyond Baghdad:
March 22, 2003
"Maybe they will enter Umm Qasr and Basra, but how will they enter Baghdad?  It will be a big oven for them. They can penetrate our borders but they cannot reach Baghdad.  They will try to pull our army and troops out but we are well aware of their plans and they will fail."

March 23, 2003
"In Umm Qasr, the fighting is fierce and we have inflicted many damages.  The stupid enemy, the Americans and British, failed completely.  They're not making any penetration."

As Televised Reports of U.S. Forces Approaching the Outskirts of Western Baghdad Are Shown:
"They are not any place.  They are on the move everywhere.  They are a snake moving in the desert.  They hold no place in Iraq.  This is an illusion."

After U.S. Forces Seized Baghdad's Airport:
"We butchered the force present at the airport.  We have retaken the airport!  There are no Americans there!"

After U.S. Troops Penetrated Central Baghdad:
April 5, 2003
"Nobody came here. Those America losers, I think their repeated frequent lies are bringing them down very rapidly....  Baghdad is secure, is safe."

April 5, 2003
"They are not near Baghdad. Don't believe them....  They said they entered with...  tanks in the middle of the capital.  They claim that they - I tell you, I... that this speech is too far from the reality. It is a part of this sickness of their plan. There is no an... - no any existence to the American troops or for the troops in Baghdad at all."

April 6, 2003
"Whenever we attack, they retreat.  When we pound them with missiles and heavy artillery, they retreat even deeper.  But when we stopped pounding, they pushed to the airport for propaganda purposes."

April 7, 2003
"The Americans are not there.  They're not in Baghdad.  There are no troops there.  Never.  They're not at all."

April 7, 2003
"U.S. forces learned a lesson last night they will never forget.  We slaughtered them and will continue to slaughter them."

April 7, 2003
"There is no presence of American infidels in the city of Baghdad."

With Media Pictures of U.S. Troops Being Shown Standing Under the Giant Crossed Swords in Saddam's Favorite Parade Grounds in Baghdad, While Giving a Press Briefing Around the Corner:
"There you can see, there is nothing going on."

After U.S. Missiles Destroyed His Office in the Information Ministry and He was Forced to Give Press Briefings on the Street:
"They will be burnt.  We are going to tackle them."

Disputing His Own Assertions of No Coalition Troops in Baghdad:
"We blocked them inside the city.  Their rear is blocked....  They pushed a few of their armored carriers and some tanks with their soldiers.  We besieged them and I think we will finish them soon."

While American Soldiers Are Showering in Saddam's Bathroom Nearby Presidential Palace:
"We have killed most of the [coalition] infidels, and I think we will finish off the rest soon."

After Being Shown Footage of Iraqi Soldiers Surrendering:
"Those are not Iraqi soldiers at all."

April 7, 2003
"This invasion will end in failure."

April 8, 2003
"Baghdad Bob" disappeared, perhaps forever.  On the other hand, perhaps he will return as head of the DNC or be awarded a drive time show on Air Americal talk radio.

What was it Saddam was saying back in Gulf War I ... it was to be the mother of all wars? That war was over in less than 100 hours ... in Gulf War II the coalition forces overran most of Iraq in less than 3 weeks. Iran thinks it would fare any better?

"I would advise them to first get out of their quagmire in Iraq before getting into an even bigger one," General Safavi said with a grin.

Spoken like a true Democrat.

At least we know the General reads the New York Times and the Washington Post!

[SelectiveJNJ]

Lets be honest. Iranian and Syrian jihadist with the support of their governments have been killing our troops left and right. They have also been killing Iraqi Air Force pilots who were involved with the war in the 1980's. Iran has as much control of Iraq as we do.

If we attack Iran it will be an extremely bloody war on both sides. The people of the United States are not prepared for such a war and our media is ready to support the enemy a 100 fold and they will make it look as if Iran is G-D himself and has destroyed our forces.

Israel has already promised that they will not sneak attack Iran (read it in today's New York Post). Europe WANTS Iran to get the bomb and for them to use it on Israel. Europe (and I bet many in the US) believes that getting rid of Israel will solve many of the world's problems. After Iran nukes Israel, then, NATO will attack Iran, so they can secure themselves. Killing to birds...

Iran is going to get the bomb...only then will "we" attack.

"The Islamic regime says it only wants to generate atomic energy, but enrichment can be extended to make the fissile core of a nuclear warhead "

What the process requires in more separation of the isotope Uranium 235 from the natural Uranium 238. Typically, when the material has 20% Uranium 235 it is "enriched" enough for a power plant. When you have separated out enough Uranium 235 to have 90% Uranium 235, you have weapons grade material. The process takes huge amounts of energy to run centrifuges at near speed of sound rotation rates.

[RegulatorCountry]

In reading this, I was struck with the thought that Iran's nuclear weapons capabilities are not altogether new, and not in Iran ... they think they've gained control over the long-rumored cache hidden in the Bekaa, bordering Syria and Lebanon. All this IAEA seal business within Iran was mere theater, backfilling the story line as far as just how Iran came to acquire the capability. This protects "someone," and Russia springs to mind.
