| Iran establishes unit to recruit suicide bombers |
| 2004-05-28 |
| Iran 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. Don’t look for his family and friends on the list. You won’t find any. 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." Freedom?! Freedom ain’t got nuttin’ to do with it! 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. I like the fact that they’re looking for people to kill themselves. But this one-at-a-time thing seems inefficient. Isn’t there a more effective way we can help them out? |

| #14 Zenster, I agree the administration is playing this real low key, and for a strategic purposes. Think if the Left got wind Iraq was a stepping stone ....nuff said! lol We have Iran surrounded, which was the long range intent with Afghanistan & then Iraq. We own the Gulf with our Navy and those of the Coalition. If we, or the Israelis, do not take the Iranian bastards out, the are insane enough to follow through on their latest list of mass suicide and missile threats against the U.S. & other 'infidel' nations. Remember, their way is death. There are no deals, no peace talks, or negotiations of any type with this element. A showdown is inevitable. We can beat them if we do the unexpected. |

| #13 Iran's first act of war was taking Americans as hostages. Ummm ... you left out that part about the hostage taking having been perpetrated upon international soil. It might sound picky, but this goes to the very heart of their inability to recognize every nation's sovereignty and what constitutes proper participation in the world community, none of which Iran has the least concept of. I sure hope something is done about the Iranians. It is a bad time to have to deal with them, but I have been watching the Bushehr reactor steadily going up in satellite pics over the years. The mad mullahs have already threatened Israel with annihilation, so a preemptive strike is in order. Nuclear blackmail from lunatics is not an option. I have a feeling that this administration is trying to keep down the rhetoric, at least from our side. I have seen nothing in anything in the media or on the web to indicate a buildup, though I know that the administration is not asleep at the switch on this one. I also wonder if the B2 hangers are still up by the tarmac at Diego Garcia. Is anyone else beginning to think that we ought to hold those Iraqi shrines deemed "most precious" by Iranian Shites as material hostages until these f%&kwits start satisfying American verified compliance with nuclear disarmament? Just asking ... |

| #10 "...is virtually declaring war." Yes, since 1979 the extremist Muslim regimé has been at war with America and western civilization. Iran's first act of war was taking Americans as hostages. The second blatant attack using Lebanese Shi'ite proxies was the homicide bombing of our U.S. Marine barracks located in Beirut. All through the 1980's Iranian trained Muslim fanatics took numerous Americans hostage, brutally butchering some. Oh, yes, Iran has indeed been at war with the United States, and the clearest example is the on going Shi'ite Muslim fire fights with our troops and insisting like minded mobs to burn and hang the corpses of carved up Americans from bridges............what are we waiting for? Israel is the nation which daily suffers Iran's proxy war via the terrorism against Israeli civilians by Iranian funded terror gangs such as Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hizballah on Israel's northern border. Where does the overwhelming bulk of Tehran's funding for global jihad derive from? Crude oil exports to the 'infidel nations' Iran's mullahs are also accelerating their nuclear weapons goals with the technical assistance from another international menace, North Korea. The state of Israel shall never wait for another Holocaust shooting from the Iranian air space. |

| #8 So if I read the report correctly, extremist elements of the Iranian regime are setting this up. I would like to see independent verification of this because, depending upon the target, is virtually declaring war. Maybe these extremists are trying to fill in the void left by |

| #7 One presumes this means that any and all suicide attacks by Shi'ites inside Iraq can and should be attributed to the IRGC, yes? |

| #3 iran had better get a control of its govt. currently iran says one thing to the world (the reformists) and acts in another way (the radical revolutionary guards) will not work and will lead to war with the United States. it is not our fault if one group commits acts of war - we will hold the nation as a whole responsible. i just do not see how war is avoidable , even under a kerry admin. |

| #1 Isn't this a de facto declaration of war by Iran against the United States and Israel? Does this mean it's OK for us to turn their nuclear program into a cloud of slightly radioactive dust? |
