  • A hard-line commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned the United States that it would risk "another Vietnam" if it decided to attack his country. "The Iranian nation does not want to create another Vietnam for America, but if the U.S. government wants to drown in another quagmire we are ready," said the deputy commander of the Guards, Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr, quoted by state television.
    If that were true, you could Include Me Out. But I think his remarks are Too Little, Too Late, even though they will Have a Chilling Effect on American planning. We wouldn't want to see Deja Vu All Over Again. Personally, I think his stance is Morally Bankrupt, but then I'm part of the Taliban Wing of the blogocracy, one of those who thinks we should Stand Should-to-Shoulder against Silent Genocide. If we attack Iran, perhaps The Terrorists Will Have Won, but Only Time Will Tell, 'cause it Ain't Over 'Til It's Over. There may be Light At the End of the Tunnel.

    Is there an echo in here? Is there an echo in here?
  • Influential former Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani warned the United States it would face a "bloody quagmire" if it decided to attack his country. "If America attacks Iran it will be stuck in such a quagmire that it will find it hard to get out," Rafsanjani told worshippers at Friday prayers in Tehran. "America will have the choice to enter Iran, but not the choice to leave," he said to chants of 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israel'. "We won't be distributing food in this quagmire. There will be blood."
    The Great Satan, as the World's Only Remaining Super-Power will no doubt Stand Revealed as a Paper Tiger. Of course, we'd probably be more frightened if they had The Fourth Largest Army in the World, but not as much as we were when we went into War-torn Afghanistan.
