Armed forces 'fully prepared' for US attack
2002-08-01
Chief of staff Major General Hassan Firouzabadi said "US threats against Iran" had been discussed in the national security council and supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had given guidelines and directives to the armed forces.
Being the Supreme Leader, with a superb clerical education, he knows all about movement orders, employment of reserves, depth of sector, weight of metal, and the coordination of combined arms elements. Clerics do that sort of stuff all the time, when they're not busy issuing fatwas, having people whipped, or running whorehouses...
The main military base of Khatam-ol-Anbia had been activated and the elite revolutionary guards, the Basij Islamic militia and the defence ministry ordered to prepare themselves for two "big missions". These were to prepare their equipment, plans, intelligence and operations to "make the enemy forget the idea of invasion", and to repulse an invasion if it occurred.
Shucks, Rumsfeld's probably already forgotten it, he's so frightened by the idea of U.S. forces having to fight the Basij and the Elite Revolutionary Guards®.
