Iranian group signing up potential martyrs

TEHRAN, Iran (Reuters) -- Some 200 Iranians have volunteered in the past few days to carry out "martyrdom missions" against U.S. and British interests around the world if Iran is attacked, a hard-line group said Sunday.

The United States and other Western nations accuse Iran of seeking to master enrichment technology to build atomic weapons, a charge Iran denies. Washington says it wants a diplomatic solution, but has not ruled out a military option.

The news of potential martyrs came as The Institute for Science and International Security, a U.S. think tank, said Sunday that Iran has expanded its uranium conversion facilities in Isfahan and reinforced its Natanz underground uranium enrichment plant.

The fresh fears over a possible U.S. attack on Iran's nuclear sites helped attract volunteers during its latest recruitment drive, Mohammad Ali Samadi, spokesman for the Committee for the Commemoration of Martyrs of the Global Islamic Campaign, said.

"Because of the recent threats, we have started to register more volunteers since Friday," Samadi told Reuters by telephone.

"Some 200 people have registered to carry out operations against our enemies. America and Britain are definitely considered enemies."

Well I say we shouldn't let their recruiting efforts go to waste. Let's line `em and give them their chance.

200 is a long, long way from the 40,000 they said they have.

They are volunteering to blow the nuke(s) There was an article a few days ago that described in detail how Ayatolla Komeni got thousands of children wearing these plastic tags around their necks to blow themselves up for allah and Iran in the mine fields even after hundreds died these martyrs were all the more excited to run out in the mine fields doing so before their even their commanders would give orders.

Plastic toy keys actually - the kind I would buy for my grandchildren. And the head nutcase of this band of lunatics still wears his toy key in public.

Iranian mine detector = a 10 year old boy.

A society/culture this sick MUST be destroyed in order to save the population. YMMV.

With the added adventure that they will fall into a pit of pig's guts..... I believe that a couple of instances of that in Iraq for convicted criminals could go a long way to solving the problems of the ME with those brain dead religious idiots.. Worth a try for sure!!

I wonder if Human Shield signups have started yet. I bet that CodePINK and the other antiwar groups will send shields, just like they did for Saddam.
