Iran prepares for kamikaze attacks
WND ^ | 2/24/2012 | Reza Kahlili

Even as it continued to talk with the U.N. nuclear watchdog, Iran continued to prepare for war over its nuclear weapons program, training for kamikaze attacks in the Persian Gulf with both planes and speedboats, sources within the Iranian armed forces report.

And just days before, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, ordered the Revolutionary Guards, along with the army, on high alert, ready with conventional and unconventional means to respond to any aggression by the U.S. or Israel over its nuclear weapons program, the sources say.

The Guards’ missile commanders, in their preparation for a fierce counterattack, have mapped out all U.S. bases in the region to strike with their missiles in order to disrupt America’s air sorties, believing they will be the main thrust of any attack by America.

The Guards’ publication Mashregh, in a warning to America, revealed a detailed plan to attack U.S. bases in the region, including, in Kuwait, two air bases, Ali Al Salem and Ahmed Al Jaber, and the U.S. military camps of Buehring, Spearhead, Patriot and Arifjan. Also targeted are U.S. air bases in Afghanistan, the super U.S. base Al Adid in Qatar, its other super base at Al Dhafra in the United Arab Emirates and Thumrait Air Base in Oman.

Guards’ plans include the launch of ballistic missiles at the narrow Strait of Hormuz from deep within Iran to disrupt the flow of oil and destabilize the world economy.

I worked on the Phalanx Program....open up with one of those on one of those “speed boats” or an airplane there won’t be much left of it, if it even gets to within 100 yards of a US ship. It will be splinters a half mile out.

That is what I thought, but because of rules of engagment we can’t fire until fired upon.

Yep, I remember having to wear the earplugs when you were on deck and that thing let rip.

Bring on the kamikazes.

After the Cole incident, I am doubtful that their ‘speedboats’ will get close enough to do any crippling damage. And if (highly unlikely) a plane can get past the Navy/USAF jets, it still has to deal with anti-missle/Phalanx systems.

Let them try. The sooner we end these POS idiots, the better for the world. This crap has been going on since Carter. Enough.

I agree. It will be one hell of a firefight.

Wasn’t Obama pretty ticked off at our SEALs because they made a rescue from Somali pirates even though he told them not to? And didn’t Panetta say at one point that he gave the order for the SEALs to go ahead with the Bin Laden assassination against Obama’s wishes?

Obama has flipped the bird at our military men so many times he should expect them to flip him right back, when the nation’s security is on the line - especially since Judge Denise Lind ruled that the lawfulness of combat orders has nothing to do with being authorized by the President. Whichever guy has seniority among those who sees a kamikaze coming has only to say, “Shoot” and that’s all the more authorization anybody needs - if what Denise Lind ruled in the court-martial against Terry Lakin actually counts for anything.

Stick it in your ear, Obama. What goes around comes around.

I remember back when Iran first suggested using mass speedboat attacks. The USN harrumphed some concern, then soon announced “no problem”, in soft tones. I assume that, send a hundred or send a thousand, it won’t matter.

They will become little more than finely chopped flotsam.

I think the biggest mistake we made was holding back the “Shock and Awe” in Iraq. Granted, it was impressive, but since all muslims understand is violence, I am of full belief that we visit enough on them at one time to melt gun barrels and burn up jet engines.

Reducing the Iranian military by 100% would be a good start. Then we could get serious about it. God knows we have it within our power. We just lack leadership with a sense of justice, logical foreign policy right and wrong.

There is a slight addition to the speedboats. Iran has a large amount of mini-subs that were purchased from North Korea.Ghadir class and Yono class mini submarines to be exact.A Yono class submarine was involved in the Cheonen affair in the Korean peninsula.

Obama keeps claiming credit for Osama.
But think about it a little more. When the military and intel laid it out,, and said “there he is”.

In effect, it was telling him,, “if you don’t act, soon, we will tell the world that you know where he is, and won’t act. They had him in a corner,, Obama gets no credit for anything. He was dragged kicking and screaming. The Military and intel know for a few months where he was, got tired of Obama BS, and forced his hand.
