Iran Threatens to Retaliate, Kidnap U.S. Soldiers

Iran is threatening to retaliate for what it calls the "kidnapping" of Revolutionary Guard officers by abducting Americans and feeding them to roosters. In an article in the Revolutionary Guard's weekly paper, Reza Faker believed to have close links to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned:

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

The warning comes after the recent disappearance of three high-profile Iranian officers. Earlier this month came the revelation that Ali Reza Asgari, former commander of the Revolutionary Guard's elite Quds Force in Lebanon, had vanished, most likely during a trip to Istanbul.

Another high-ranking Revolutionary Guard officer, Colonel Amir Muhammed Shirazi, was reported missing last week, according to the Sunday Times of London.

A third Iranian, Brigadier General Muhammed Soltani, head of the Revolutionary Guard in the Persian Gulf, is also understood to be missing, although that has yet to be confirmed.

Iranians claim the officers were kidnapped, but Western sources believe they may have defected. Other members of the Quds Force reportedly were seized by U.S. forces in northern Iraq.

So let me guess...al Qaeda or other terrorist factions within Iraq kill or capture Iranian officials, which then in turn allows Iran to blame us so they can justify capturing and killing American soldiers. (Though those of use who have the power of reason and intuition, already know this has been going on) Naturally, the only ones stupid enough to fall for this ruse is our Liberal media and Liberal Democrats. So sad.

Whoever is making these stupid statements in the name of the Iranian Government are begging for their own demise.

Most likely these are defections of men who have seen how their country has been sold out by the Iranian president and his ilk.

"Hello, PETA? Iran is bragging of its vicious sport of cock fighting. What are you going to do about it? What? It's Bush's fault? And you are only concerned with punishing Americans for owning dogs and cats? Well, that's about the stupidest thing I've ever... hello? Hello...?"

Uh, guys, the last time you took hostages, a pansy, weak-willed, touchy-feely Democrat was in charge, and when a real man came into office who thought the idea of brute force was a pretty good form of diplomacy, your "students" coughed up our people pretty fast. I take it that this threat will remain bluster until 2008, and then only become real if a Democrat whusburger gets into office?

Go ahead, you whiny, self-important little headscarf, make our day. You may feel pretty much like a cock-of-the-walk when you are surrounded by Ayatollahs, but pal, out there in the dirty streets, a lot of people will be thrilled when you push us too far and you disappear in the middle of the night.

I don't think tiny dill pickles are more intimidating than roosters.
