| Iran: Persian Gulf will be Hell for our enemies |
| 2007-08-20 |
| Iran warned the US on Sunday evening that "the Persian Gulf will become Hell for the enemines of Iran if they attack the Islamic republic," Army Radio reported. According to a leader of the Iran Revolutionary Guard, "our forces are only getting bigger." |

| #20 I suspect that US plans would involve heavy aerial bombardment, aimed at both eliminating the nuclear threat and reducing mullah power. Qom is a legitimate target because ALL terror preparations issue from that islamic center. Unfortunately for Ahmadinjad, military professionals co-exist with Basij parasites. I believe that the professional class is embarassed by the mullahs. Persian exile websites refer to the Khomeinist tyrants as: "Arabist parasites." In fact, the poorest of the 12 top Ayatollahs has assets worth over $100,000,000. Rafsanjani is worth $1.5 billion, and all his family money has been seized through sweetheart contracts. The phony "prophet" of Islam claimed that his fake deity ordered a turnover of 20% of all booty to him. Shiites account for a "khums" tax, payable by taxpayers to their parasitic elite. Iran is not a tough nut to crack, and occupation will not be necessary. We have to be mindful that a post Ayatollah regime will likely be even closer to Russia and China than the existing one. All the more reason to stay in Iraq. I predict that the surgical strike will begin when Winter sets in. US troops will have no involvement in the inevitable bloodbath. |

| #18 According to a leader of the Iran Revolutionary Guard, "our forces are only getting bigger." But not as big as ours, dipshit. |

| #17 I recall P. J. O'Rourke saying something to the effect that if you grouped all college students by major, and then lined them up by IQ, the J-school students would be standing next to the El-Ed majors. |

| #14 It was my first realization of just how stupid reporters are. Takes a while to fully grasp. |

| #13 ...the Eisenhower is in the gulf... So can you tell us exactly where these assets are and how they are planned to be used? Heh, sorry. I was having flashbacks to the first Gulf War. I watched a reporter ask that question at a briefing. The briefing officer (air force general, IIRC) paused for a moment and then, to his credit, simply said I can't comment on that. It was my first realization of just how stupid reporters are. |

| #12 especially since three of the carrier groups are playing away from the field at the moment!! According to the Navy's website the Eisenhower is in the gulf and the Truman is somewhere in the Atlantic (at a guess, closer to Gibralter than to Brazil). That's ~85 Navy planes in theater and another ~85 that can probably be moved into the Mediterranean quickly. Moreover the B2s can fly in from a long distance away, with midair refueling. There are B2s in the continental US, Alaska and Guam (with facilities in Diego Garcia that we used in 2003-4 and could use again I think). It's a 30 hr flight if they come all the way from Whitman AFB, but the planes are designed to allow the crew to manage that. I left out the subs, but there are likely several lingering within useful range. |

| #5 Yea, but that 'Tit For Tat' by the Iranians will be a bear for the US; being that they have said that all parts of the Straits are covered by their mobile missiles; it's interesting to see what will happen should the US react further than just watching their movements, especially since three of the carrier groups are playing away from the field at the moment!! |

| #2 Bet he got the attention of the US Navy.... they got lottas guys and gals left out of this latest fight, and I imagine, lottas old and new toys they are practicing with, and like any good football team, want to "smack pads with someone other than my team." Can just hear the whispers -- "Bring it on." |
