Iran's army chief told the United States that a US aircraft carrier which left the area because of Iranian naval exercises should not return to the Gulf, the state news agency reported on Tuesday.

"Iran will not repeat its warning ... the enemy’s carrier has been moved to the Sea of Oman because of our drill. I recommend and emphasize to the American carrier not to return to the Persian Gulf," Ataollah Salehi told IRNA.

They forgot to establish a "line of death," a' la the Gulf of Sidra.

Won’t see ol’ ‘Bama round dese here parts no mo, sur. And eyes takin’ dem shiftless wortless gud-fer-nuttin’, no-account sailors, Marines and soldja’s wid me. Yassur.”

Obama will ask them if we can come back, like he asked for the return of the drone.

There are times when I would like to see what Tehran would look like as a glass parking lot.

It’s well past time to pulverize these scumbags. I know we don’t have a CinC who will order it, but what we ought to do is take out very plane, ship, nuclear, and missile site in that whole damned worthless Mullah-land.

Iran is letting it’s alligator mouth overload it’s Hummingbird ass.

Does this foll have any idea what they face if they fire on an American carrier?

Even the weak kneed Kenyan would have to answer that attack with force.

This would be funny if we had a real President - not an imposter.

This would never have happened in the first place had we a real prez.

Obama is _such_ a failure. If only he was doing it accidentally he could be forgiven.

I won’t often offer advice to Obama.

However this one seems to warrant a simple response:

Obama should publicly, respond to the threat, with a simple declaration that any attack on an America carrier, will result in the complete destruction of an Iranian city.

Glass.

Say so publicly, so when it happens, there’s not sudden horror worldwide.

Just a simple “we warned you not to do that, and we said exactly what would happen if you did”. There will still be wailing and complaining, but the world will know and understand.

No more groveling Obama.

How does the combat power of the Iranian Air Force compare with the combat power of a carrier battle group? There are days when I’d be willing to find out, and I’m sure most naval aviators would be more than happy to provide the answer in air-to-air negotiations.

How about their missiles against our carrier? That’s why we have air-to-mud capabilities. War is a bad thing, but there are worse things, one of which is the current Iranian government (sadly, another is occupying our White House and visiting Hawaii).

Random Thoughts

Iran commits an act of war against the U.S. in international waters.

U.S. Declares War during an election year.

American voters rally around their President during war with Iran and reelect their President.

At least half of Iran's population joyfully achieves Martyrdom and enters Paradise.

Much of Iran remains radioactive for a half-life of 10,000 years.

President Obama is able to appoint three more Supreme Court Justices during his second term.

President Obama is declared “President for Life” and the American people live happily ever after.

Glass.

Of course, a real US President would not issue such a threat, but simply sent in another carrier, and if Iran made good on its threat, take out Tehran and their nuke capabilities without warning ...

as much glass as possible.

Why is Iran’s Army chief speaking for The Navy? What a sad, sad little island nation.

“I recommend and emphasize to the American carrier not to return to the Persian Gulf”

Commander to crew: “Do a 180, boys, we just got invited to a party.”

-—Why is Iran’s Army chief speaking for The Navy?——

The army commands the shore based anti ship missiles is my guess

“At least half of Iran’s population joyfully achieves Martyrdom and enters Paradise.”

Will do you one better. The inevitable revolution in Iran that was stopped with Obama’s support of the regime actually happens this time.

Obama claims he liberated 30 million people, more than Bush and he didn’t have to fire a shot.

Making threats like this to a boy king who will do ANYTHING to get re-elected is not a smart move.
