WASHINGTON, July 5 (UPI)-- The regular army and the Revolutionary Guards appear to be at odds over their respective strategic readings of U.S. intentions. General Yahya Safavi, commander of the RG, evidently believes a military showdown with the United States is in the cards. "In time of war," said Safavi, "we can recruit an army of 12 million within 48 hours." And, "if God forbid, we face a disaster during war, each of our (RG) brigades will recruit 10 "Ashura" battalions from among the Basiji troops, and that way they will turn into a division...
In the Iraqi war, one of the most effective weapons was a bullhorn. Tank commanders would start up saying, “well, you guys keep saying you want to kill Americans & infidels. Here we are, you big wusses.” And then the Iraqis would go nuts and charge the tanks & get mowed down.
In the Iranian war we should just say in Farsi: “We’re here to knock out the nuclear program. If you get in our way we will focus our fire upon you. When we’re done we can help you with building a democracy, if you want one. Other than that, stay the hell out of our way.”
Wake Up America, Before It Is Too Late !!!!
12 million? From where? Their own people don’t support the government there. Mixed signals? We can send “mixed signals” also. We can send a mix of bombers. We don’t even need boots on the ground. Take out the little Hitler and their people would love it.
We would own their airspace in about 3 days if we wanted to and there's not much they could do about it.
