"Army commandos, parachutists, mobile shoulder-firing units, electronic war forces and rapid reaction units enjoying high combat spirit have been deployed in the operational theater and will demonstrate their readiness,"

Am I the only one who gets that 'deja vu' Munich games Luftwaffe overflights 1939 feeling?

Or is this just a smokescreen for going after the Kurds?

Wait'll they get their first taste of a battlefield filled with MOABs, cluster bombs, and precision artillery, and cities under siege. Let 'em eat their dead.

"All hints and suggestions very welcome."

RFE/RL or VOA should sponsor/create a meta-site for the Iranian bloggers since they are being shut down and satellite dishes are being confiscated. It would have to be sponsored by the US since private sites or different opposition sites would tend to compete with each other and dilute the effect. It would be a magnet/central news site for information that might start to unify perceptions and positions since there is no serious unity among the opposition that is apparent at this point - - none anyway that will make enough difference in enough time.

Most young Iranians probably have not yet internalized the fact that their leadership has now set them on course for apocalyptic national suicide. They are being volunteered for martyrdom by a suicidal leadership and many if not most Iranians now unwittingly live with a death sentence hanging over their heads created by their religiously fanatical clerical government.

I'd imagine they would have something to say about that once that becomes clear to them. Right now they cannot fully see or say what they wish and they see and say less by the day. That can be changed with some thought.

That's my two cents.
