Iran to hit back at US "kidnaps".

IRAN is threatening to retaliate in Europe for what it claims is a daring undercover operation by western intelligence services to kidnap senior officers in its Revolutionary Guard.

According to Iranian sources, several officers have been abducted in the past three months and the United States has drawn up a list of other targets to be seized with the aim of destabilising Tehran’s military command.

In an article in Subhi Sadek, the Revolutionary Guard’s weekly paper, Reza Faker, a writer believed to have close links to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, warned that Iran would strike back.

“We’ve got the ability to capture a nice bunch of blue-eyed blond-haired officers and feed them to our fighting cocks,” he said. “Iran has enough people who can reach the heart of Europe and kidnap Americans and Israelis.”

So now we have a country admitting to keeping sleeper cells of terrorists in US and other western nations and an overt promises to kidnap US officers in Iraq.

Does this sound like a declairation of war to you? I hope Bush thinks so.

"claims is a daring undercover operation by western intelligence services to kidnap senior officers in its Revolutionary Guard."
If this is a version of the Nazi "Night and Fog" so be it.
Dis-appear these thugs. No word, no acknowledgement, just silence from the U.S.

I don't like the sound of that!

They won't be kidnapping "officers", they'll go for the usual "soft" targets like businessmen.

It sounds like worried blustering threats to me. However I have no doubt the little headcutters would do vindictive things to easy targets.

Ahmadinejads great idol Adolf Hitler wouldn't like this.

Iran is at war with the United States and has been since 1979.

Sorry boys, but you got your one chance at taking Americans hostage with no reprisal. The guy sitting in the Oval Office now is not a sweater-clad master of malaise obsessing over the White House tennis schedule who will wet himself for 444 days. It won't end pretty for you.

If they were capable of pulling this off they wouldn't be blustering about it, they'd be quietly doing it.

Typical Middle Eastern bluster.

To quote (or perhaps paraphrase) the line from "The Maltese Falcon" - the cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter.

Actually two of them if I remember correctly. One "dissapeared" in Dubai (?) or another Gulf state, while the second "dissapeared" in Iraq.

Is John Murtha Blue eyed, and would anyone care if the Iranians captured him?

Well Maybe Nancy would miss him.

But I dont guess they would kidnap a man who is working for them as hard as Murtha is.

Knowing the brave Muslim warriors, they'll stick to murdering old men in wheelchairs and teenagers at a pizza shop. I suggest we get the Mossad to kidnap a certain small, dark beady-eyed loudmouth. No one would miss him.

Right now, this instant, wipe out every military sight, and government facility in Iran. You listening Mr. Bush.




Japan surrendered for a reason, let's start prepping a country for unconditional surrender.

Yeah, Iran does that and she's will get it.

But why Americans and Europeans too if the kidnappers are Israel's mossad?
