An official of Iran's Revolutionary Guards has threatened the United States and other Western nations with suicide and missile attacks aimed at 29 sensitive sites.
"Our missiles are now ready to strike at their civilization, and as soon as the instructions arrive from leader ['Ali Khamenei], we will launch our missiles at their cities and installations," the Revolutionary Guard adviser said in a speech reported by the London Arabic-language daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, according to Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI.
He also threatened to "take over" Britian.
The paper reported "an Iranian intelligence unit has established a center called The Brigades of the Shahids of the Global Islamic Awakening to replace the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Department of Liberation and Revolutionary Movements, which had been in charge of helping and training revolutionary forces across the world."
A source close to the Revolutionary Guards intelligence confirmed confirmed the establishment of a new office that has begun registering the names of suicide volunteers to be sent to Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon, the London paper said.
In a tape of the speech obtained by the paper, the official spoke of Tehran's "secret strategy" aimed at taking over the Arab and Muslim countries by means of helping revolutionary forces and organizations."
The official, identified only with the initials H.A., has published a number of works on exporting the Islamic revolution and struggling against the U.S.
"In his speech at a secret conference attended by students who are members of the Ansar Hizbullah movement at Al-Hussein University, the official harshly criticized reformist President Muhammad Khatami and his "dubious idea" of dialogue between civilizations.
"We do not want to take over the British Embassy, since [the British] have already cleared the embassy of documents; we must take over Britain [itself]," he said.
"The West sees us as terrorists, and depicts our strategy as terrorism and repression," the officials continued. "Had our youth agreed to Khatami's teachings and interpretations, it would never have fought the arrogance [U.S.], and would never have defended the holy places -- because Khatami speaks always of being conciliatory, of patience, and of rejecting terrorism, while we defend [the line of] toughness and war against the enemies of revolutionary Islam. I take pride in my actions that cause anxiety and fear to the Americans."
He continued:
"'Haven't the Jews and the Christians achieved their progress by means of toughness and repression? We have a strategy drawn up for the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization and for the uprooting of the Americans and the English. "Our missiles are now ready to strike at their civilization, and as soon as the instructions arrive from leader ['Ali Khamenei], we will launch our missiles at their cities and installations.
"Our motto during the war [in Iraq] was: Karbala, we are coming, Jerusalem, we are coming. And because of Khatami's policies and dialogue between the civilizations, we have been compelled to freeze our plan to liberate the Islamic cities. And now we are [again] about to carry out the program.
Later in his speech, the official declared "the global infidel front is a front against Allah and the Muslims, and we must make use of everything we have at hand to strike at this front, by means of our suicide operations or by means of our missiles. There are 29 sensitive sites in the U.S. and in the West. We have already spied on these sites and we know how we are going to attack them."
He emphasized, "If Israel dares attack the [nuclear] installations at Bushehr, our losses will be very low, because [only] one structure will be destroyed -- while we have means of attacking Israel's nuclear facilities and arsenals such that no trace of Israel will remain."
The previous day, according to MEMRI, Iranian sources had statements on the same issue.
At a ceremony marking the four-year anniversary of Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon, Ali Akbar Makhatashemi-Pour, reformist MP and secretary-general of the International Committee for the Support of the Palestinian Intifada, called on Muslim countries to open their borders with Iraq to troops of Muslim martyrdom bombers.
"We, the Muslim countries, must create a storm front against the U.S. and Israel," he said. "The half-million member organization that was created in Beirut [Hezbollah] is not sufficient. Many young Muslims are willing to carry out martyrdom operations against the American Crusaders."
According to the Iranian reformist paper Sharq, the Persian-language Ruydad website cited Hezbollah-Iran activist Forouz Rajaii-Far saying "martyrdom operations are the only option to expel the Americans and British from Iraq."
Rajaii-Far said a Basij activist from Elm Vasonaat University in Iran acknowledged a group calling itself the "To Karbala Battalion" was sent Thursday to Karbala to fight the coalition forces.
We should also begin a much larger mobilization to take the developing situation in Iran into account and the growing, escalating tensions, threats and situation in Asia (China and N. Korea).
At the same time, we should immediately start a Homegaurd Program that has the Sheriff's deputizing, training and arming (the training and equipment provided by the Federal government) every able boided man who volunteers to watch over and protect infrastructure between the ages of say 19 and 55. Operational control by the Sheriff...but escalation to the State Police, National Guard and North American Command as required.
Unless we do things like this...if we wait until these enemies act on their onw timetable, then we will face a horrific, real World War III along the lines of what os described in the Dragon's Fury Series.
The novel series was written expressely as a warning of this very thing, in the hopes that an exciting tale could get a message out in a form that people would read and internalize. Things are starting to look entirely too much like the novels.
And who be asking?
Arrrgghh!
I think you meant to say HOURS instead of days.
How long does it take to tie a t-shirt to a stick?? With all the practice they've had?? After all, the men have to surrender faster than their sisters!
Pray for W and Our Honored Vets
Oooh! That's HARSH! LOL
How about this one? "The Era of Heavy Bombardment"
And don't forget kais Ummeck. That's the mother of all insults.
As you stated, men DIED.
Thanks ASA Vet for correcting my earlier statement. I was caught up in semantics. A firing war it was, to be sure. And we all owe a debt of gratitude to those who fought for our freedom.
You noted, " . . . between the ages of say 19 and 55."
I would re-consider the maximum age. Us old guys are not going to be sitting around in our cellars listening to the radio. Maybe too old for infra-structure duty, but not too old for neighborhood sentinels or whatever is required. This war will require complete moblization. Most people my age are vets and are still under oath and there are many of us. Personally, I'd rather be in combat, having a lot less to lose than you young'uns, and it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of the others felt the same way. I know they are riled up enough and madder'n hell. If I didn't have to do the the fifty push-ups and walk 40 miles I'd probably qualify.
Any able bodied man who can meet the requirements for the respective duties!
Heh! Somehow I just knew you'd reconsider. Now pass the ammo, bro.
"WW 3 is over. We won. It took 50 years but we won the cold war."
Are you sure the cold war (world war 3)is over.
Who provided the original nuclear technology that is being proliferated? The Russians.
Who arms the terrorist states? The Russians
Who benefits most from high oil prices. The Russians
Who benefits most from instability in oil producing regions? The Russians
Who is using militant Islam as a tool against the US? The Russians.
Who takes the biggest kickbacks from Iraq? The Russians
Who has spent 88 years financing and encouraging anti US elements in the media, education, you name it? The Russians
Who runs Russia? The KGB
I HAVE to know (as a recovering Toastmaster myself): what was your audience's reaction to your candor?
Bush happens to be President of ALL Americans of ALL religions.
The idea that he is supposed to call Islam a religion of hate because of the actions of fanatics and declare war on all Muslims is infantile.
You: This causes my head to swell with a steady stream of Clint Eastwood lines.....
Me:"Well, you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?"
"Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy."
"Nag, nag, nag."
"How fast can you run the hundred in gym shorts?"
"You've gotta ask yourself one question..."
gonna be a long summer
Hurry up Barney, I have to take over Britian
That must be some good crack (or khat).
I just hear the audience all gasping a lot of 'ahs' and 'uhs.'

Iran's mullahs has set up a new unit to recruit suicide bombers from around the world, the London-based Arabic newspaper A-Shark al-Awsat reported Friday.
According to the report, the secretary-general of the new unit began by drawing up a list of names of people who support suicide attacks in Iraq, Lebanon and the Palestinian territories.
The newspaper reported that the bureau, called "The martyrs of the resurrection of the Islamic world," replaces a unit of the Iranian Republican Guard, which was known as the "department for the revolutionary freedom movements."
Those behind the establishment of the unit are extremist Islamists members of the Iranian regime, the report claims, who are opposed to the moderate steps taken by President Mohammed Khatami.
