In a morbid show of bravado, Iran has dug mass graves for US troops should the United States decide to implement Adm. Mike Mullen's contingency plan to strike Iran, a former commander of the Revolutionary Guard said.
Adm. Mullen, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, said last week that the US military has a contingency plan to attack Iran, although he thinks a military strike is probably a bad idea.
Gen. Hossein Kan'ani Moghadam, who was the Guard's deputy commander during the 1980s, said graves have been dug in Iran's southwestern Khuzestan province, where Iran buried Iraqi soldiers killed during the ruinous 1980-88 war between the Islamic republic and Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's regime.
"The mass graves that used to be for burying Saddam's soldiers have now been prepared again for US soldiers, and this is the reason for digging this big number of graves," Moghadam told The Associated Press Television News late Monday. He did not say how many were prepared.
Footage obtained by APTN showed a large number of empty, freshly dug graves in a desert region of Khuzestan. The digging of the graves was first reported earlier this week by Iran's semi-official news agency Fars.
Moghadam repeated warnings that Iran will retaliate against US bases in the Gulf if there is an attack on Iran. The US Navy's 5th Fleet headquarters is based just across the Gulf from Iran in Bahrain.
If US forces attack, "Iran will have no choice but to strike the American bases in the region," he said. "The heavy costs of such a war will not be just on the Islamic Republic of Iran. America and other countries should accept that this would be the start of an extensive war in the region."...

Something must be done about these folks.
But not while Mr. Obama is prexy.
Proxy?
I’m thinking Haman the Agagite, myself. Petard, self-hoisting? That kind of thing.
Graves for the Republican Guard won’t be necessary since a body that’s been vaporized doesn’t really take up any space.
Dont think we would invade. Massive air strikes and Special Forces action yes.
They won’t need mass graves for anyone near the Iranian nuclar sites; they’ll need a microscope and DNA analysis.
More likely these are holes for them to hid.
Proxy?
Poxy
Saddam's dead, Mogs.
See any kind of relevance there? You know, like, why is he dead?
And why are those mass graves still...err...empty? Maybe you weren't up to the job, but someone else was?
Anything clicking here, Mogs?
More likely these are holes for them to(hide).
Moxie.
One thing they have experience with is digging mass graves.
The Iranian Armed Forces suck so bad they have lots of experience in digging mass graves.
We finally have the opportunity but we have their agent in the White House calling the shots.
Digging? Trying to flee to China??
I guess that is supposd to frighten us?
Scared the crap out of me, I almost fell off my chair at the picture in my mind of these idiots out there sweating in the heat digging holes to frighten me with.
Well at least we’ll have the holes already dug to throw their stinkin corpses in. They would collapse like a house of cards if we decided to hit them full force.
