Iran's 'supreme leader' — Khamenei — tells country to brace for war

In the first such order, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has directed its more than 300,000 troops to prepare for a confrontation with Israel and the United States. IRGC has directed and participated in the Hizbullah war against Israel. "Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards and Basij should prepare themselves to get even with Zionists and Americans," IRGC commander Maj. Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi said. "The supreme leader [Ali Khamenei] will announce the time for this."

Check this out:

General Black Jack Pershing

Born September 13th, 1860 near Laclede, MS, died July 15th, 1948 in Washington DC. Highlights of his life include:
1891 Prof. of Military Science and Tactics, Univ. of Nebraska
1898 Serves in Spanish-American War
1901 Awarded rank of Captain
1906 Promoted to rank of Brigaier General
1909 Military Governor of Moro Province, Philippines
1916 Made Major General
1919 Promoted to General of the Armies
1921 Appointed Chief of Staff
1924 Retires from active duty Education West Point

Just before World War 1, there were a number of terrorist attacks on the United States forces in the Philippines by Muslim extremists. So General Pershing captured 50 terrorists and had them tied to posts for executions. He then had his men bring in two pigs and slaughter them in front of the now horrified terrorists. Muslims detest pork because they believe pigs are filthy animals. Some of them simply refuse to eat it, while others won't even touch pigs at all, nor any of their by-products. To them, eating or touching a pig, it's meat, it's blood, etc., is to be instantly barred from paradise (and all those virgins) and doomed to hell. The soldiers then soaked their bullets in the pigs blood, and proceeded to execute 49 of the terrorists by firing squad. The solders then dug a whole, dumped in the bodies of the terrorists and covered them in pig blood, entrails, etc. Then let the 50th man go. And for the next forty two years, there was not a single Muslim extremist attack anywhere in the world. Maybe it is time for this segment of history to repeat itself, maybe in Iraq? Maybe in Iran.......Syria?? The question is, where do we find another Black Jack Pershing??

Think about it, if the word got out our military, likewise the military of our allies, all of them, were using this method on our bullets and bombs, that alone could stop these terrorists, and do it fast! May sound silly and too easy to be effective, but it could also work!

But, yeah, it's ours.

My meaning exactly.

And I agree with you about your NY comment. *sigh*

[Quix]

Thanks for your kind words.

In a lot of respects . . . Many Taiwnese are more loyal to America than many New Yorkers, BTW.

There was some move to make it another US State.

I've heard so many sad things about the shape Michigan is in.

Many Taiwnese are more loyal to America than many New Yorkers, BTW.<.i>

I'm sure you're right. One needs only look at hildabeast to prove your point.

There was some move to make it another US State.

I don't remember that.

Oh, the political incorrectness!  For shame.    /sarcasm

[Perdogg]

I wonder if Mike Wallace asked about this.

[Night Hides Not]

How reliable is a news site with a shaking hourly gift gif? Not that there is anything wrong with that....

LOL! I just don't understand why I'm the 1,000,000th visitor to five different sites a day, yet I can't even get 3 numbers right on the lottery. It just doesn't make sense.

However, I do have 15 plasma TVs and 20 Gateway computers in my house (just kidding).

What do the Persians think of this arab ruling their country, and what are they trying to do about it?

[GOPJ]

So WWIV official starts on Aug 22 now?

Wasn't the "cold war" just the Cold War? We never called it III while it was happening, why start now? The Korean War was just that - and VietNam - was just Vietnam. This war on Terror might be bumping up to WWIII. We'll see soon enough ... countries are picking sides - that's usually a start.

If the offical start is on Aug 22nd, it seems the Islamafascist will have more planned than taking down a few planes... God help us.

Mo claimed to have been taken to "the farthest" mosque - which , in Arabic, is "al-aqsa." Al-aqsa is in the koran; Jerusalem is not.

After Mo's death, the muslims needed an excuse to claim the Jewish holy city as their own. They built a mosque on the temple mount, and called it "al-aqsa," since in muslimthink that would put Jerusalem in the koran.

[watchin]

Yes.

Our intelligence agents have been telling us and preparing us for quite some time for the reality that we'll have to confront Iran and that Iran would be the real threat in the ME. I have often said that one reason we really went into Iraq was to gain a foothold in that area for that coming war with Iran. And thank God Bush has the foresight to have seen that need and acted on it. It will become a crucial foothold to have in the coming days and/or years. Crucial for our success and Iran's loss.

Sort of makes you wonder whether we went into Iraq for a stable Iraq or we went into Iraq on the premise that we will soon be marching on Iran.

Doesn't hurt that we also have a coalition of forces in Afghanistan which also borders Iran.

Is is possible that everyone overlooked this point?

[IonInsights]

Iran should know that our politicians in D.C. haven't the testicular fortitude for another war.

The POTUS can wage unrestricted warfare for 60 days without congressional authorization.

[proud_yank]

ROFLMAO!!! Almost, but not quite, sprayed the monitor.

[proud_yank]

Too bad the MSM made us fumble the ball at the goal line.

Some things never change I guess. America's media is disgusting and a disgrace.

[gotribe]

Yep. Into the desert, coralling them into tight formation with lead from our C-130s.

I think George W is going to bomb Iran's nuclear sites within a few months.
