Official: Elite Revolutionary Guards are prepared to intervene

TEHRAN - Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards are ready to provide a military escort to cargo ships trying to break Israel's blockade of Gaza, a representative of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Sunday.

"Iran's Revolutionary Guards naval forces are fully prepared to escort the peace and freedom convoys to Gaza with all their powers and capabilities," Ali Shirazi, Khamenei's representative inside the Revolutionary Guards, was quoted as saying by the semi-official Mehr news agency.

Any intervention by the Iranian military would be considered highly provocative by Israel which accuses Iran of supplying weapons to Hamas, the Islamist movement which rules Gaza.

>>This is one person’s fault, Barack Hussein Obama. When you project weakness, this is what you get. He’s too much of an idiot to understand it. You can’t reason with religious fanatics.<<

This is the core. He is either doing this on purpose, or it is a textbook case of what you get when there is an incompetent in office.

I guess the Iranians want to see some of their ships sunk in the Med.

Don’t forget Goldman Sachs sold some stock before this happened. Obama’s personal stocks are tied up in GS. They are in a mutual fund at the moment but he can control the fund losing a measurable amount of money by warning GS to sell.

I have posted this before I have asked around to my husband’s oil friends. I thought terrorists were involved. They all said no. It would be too difficult for them to get close now after 9/11 security is tight. But I thought what if the terrorists were employees?! You know we must integrate and diversify everyone now. Still they did not think it is possible.

Moving forward to congressional hearings it seems to be BP getting impatient and doing something the testing said they should not.

The loss of lives is one reason I believe this was a mistake. BP will be vilified for this for a long time. If this was created it can be traced back to the transocean manager who did the testing twice and decided to go forward. Or the BP chain of command who wanted it done without testing. These two people should be long gone by now. I know George Soros is evil and life means nothing to him or he would have some remorse for the loss of Jewish lives in Germany after he took their property from them. Obama as a muslim with a JIHAD agenda, life would mean nothing to him either.

The bill dems want to pass is said to not allow domestic drilling offshore. ONLY foreign drilling allowed. With BP out of the way, PetroBras would have free reign. In effect Obama could be paying Soros back for his 2008 campaign financing and getting him set up for future financing for their whole agenda and elections.

Then we have Rahm Emanuel taking off for Israel during this disaster. hmmm!! Rahm Emanuel has lived rent-free in D.C., for years, thanks in part to a friend under contract w/ oil giant BP http://is.gd/cG57z

Thanks. Fits well with apparent facts. I would not trust anyone in this administration as far as I can spit with a dry mouth.

We are no longer a free country but in a still “soft” TYRANNY. Khomeini type bloodshed may well be on the horizon when things hit the fan and the people turn to thwart him and his criminal enterprise he uses as his administration and reacts with his still formative “civilian security forces” to counter it - then blood may well flow.

When a single party and lame media can pass bills that dominate us without reading them NOR any input from anyone but themselves - and not even all of “themselves”, just a selected few behind closed doors, we are in a tyrannical mode where our voices do not count. For now. YET!

California and other primaries (?) tomorrow may be lead indicators for November.

Ahamamad-Nutjob is a virulent memeber of the Hojatieh sect of Shia Islam which believes that there has to be so much misery, bloodshed, suffering, oppression and death brought into the world that the 12th Imam will take notice and return out of a well inside Iran in which he disappeared some 1300 years ago and thus redeem Islam (specifically Shia Islam).

Dying alongside millions of those you kill to achieve this is welcome. Shade of grey between Hojatieh and overall Islamic martyrdom.

I doubt anything the Iranians could put in the Eastern Med would be worth a torpedo. Sea skimming missiles would do the trick, Harpoons and Gabriel IIIs.

IMHO..all this “flotilla” nonsense has a wink and a nod from the WH.....that’s all Helen Thomas was really articulating.

Meh.

If Iran wants to send some of its ships to the bottom of the ocean, it’s no skin off my nose.
