TEHRAN, Iran — A senior commander in Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard has warned that Iran will target US bases in the region should a war with Israel break out.

Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh says no Israeli attack can happen without US involvement, making all US military bases a legitimate target.

Settle down, lb, and don't look for any "military logic" from Iran. They are operating on a far higher form of "logic". Religious logic. Or, if you like, an offshoot of "jihadism".

This a a regime that sent teens and pre-teens, armed with plastic keys to paradise, on foot to clear Iraqi minefields with their lives. You look for "military logic"?

This is chaos theory, Iranian style. The more chaos, the better for them, they think. Bringing the US into the war will cause more chaos.

Because Harry Reid would blame Mittens, John Bohner would go cry and King Barky would take the Iranian’s side.

Iran just announced that attacking Iran would start WWIII??? What are they saying? Did Russia jump in and Obama was too busy campaigning to get the message?

*SIGH*...
This has been going on since Carter 1979...
During every single US president & administration.
Khomeini back in 1979 said “America can not do a damn thing..”
Enough already w/ words.
Show them what America can do & call it delayed reaction... 33 yrs later...

Revolutionary Guard is not powerful, they are corrupt. If there is war, they will run away, same as the Iraqi army did. Twice.

zer0 and his crowd (of course) work for the other side. Russia has always worked for the other side, except maybe for six or eight years during the time the communists were overthrown. The average Russian enjoyed freedom so much, they voted to go back to communism. Many Americans simply cannot believe their eyes and ears when it comes to zer0 and his crowd willfully working to destroy the U.S.A. Many Americans do not wish to believe what is being done by zer0 and his crowd, but many of those Americans have awaken thankfully, therefore there is a chance. Maybe even as high as 1 in 3.

I know one thing, our military leaders would not allow our military assets be sitting ducks and would go ahead and strike Iran disregarding Obama's orders.

Would this be unrepresented ? our military leaders seeing the threat of the enemy and disregarding the orders of a incompetent CIC ?

Such a huge distraction would give the green light for China to nab the Spratley Islands and maybe Taiwan. It would allow the Russians to go into Georgia. It would allow North Korea to take a whack at Seoul. And who knows what else.

So this would be the beginning of WWIII. God, I don’t want our nation to be led in this direction with Barack Hussein Obama as our President. He might have to take a 2 week vacation to Hawaii after this exhausting campaign. God help us all.

“Why attack the US and bring them into the war?”

That assumes a president Obama would let our soldiers shoot back. He won’t protect our ambassadors. Why should he protect our soldiers.

The only reason to let our guys shoot back that I can think of that would appeal to him is it would be a bad photo-op. But even so, the old media would cover for him thru the election. After that, it does not matter. He will govern thru executive order and really won’t care about his public standing.

I’ve always believed that Iran would get its payback for 1979, and this just may be our opportunity. If they hit us, we should unleash hell upon them.
