And the world fears this Ummah?

#4 Everyone assumes that either the US or Israel will attack first, that Iran would never dream of lashing out, even if it did so in a stupid an ineffective manner.

No doubt the Ummah would jump to Iran's defense if it started a war and got its butt kicked for its trouble. Flimsy rationalizations are a dime a dozen.

However, unlike with Iraq, this time I doubt the US would be so gentle. Our top priorities would be to neutralize their missiles, and then to "reduce" their armed forces and Revolutionary Guard. Lovely US Civil War term, that.

Without missiles and without a military, Iran is our biatch. Once we eliminate those two, then the Ummah can piss and moan all night for what we care.

#5 N, the Mullhas want Radical-controlled Iran to be the SOLE CENTER OF MUSLIM POWER IN THE WORLD, THE HYPERPOWER, NUCLEARIZED, MODERN AMERICA OF THE MUSLIM UNIVERSE. Pakistan and any other Islamic or non-Islamic nation(s) are all future provinces of Tehran, at best a PC Radical Iranian version of North Korea or Cuba, de facto controlled by others but technically or legally un-annexed. THE DESIRED DEFEAT, SUBORNMENT, ANDOR DESTRUCTION OF THE HYPERPOWER USA IN NO WAY GUARANTEES THE STATE-SPECIFIC AMBITIONS OF "MANIFEST DESTINY" OF NON-IRANIAN MUSLIM NATIONS, ETAL. WILL BE ACHIEVED.

#8 We have suffered more casualties than the US, ANA and ISAF, he said.

Well, yeah, because Pakistan has so many people on the other side.

#9 These people better hope when the US falls it goes with a wimper, because if not the rest of the world is F*cked.
