IRGC commander addresses suicide bomber corps
2006-02-14
A senior commander of IranÂ’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) vowed that following the printing of insulting cartoons of IslamÂ’s prophet Muhammad in European dailies, the Islamic RepublicÂ’s suicide volunteers abroad were being placed on readiness alert to attack Unites States and Israeli interests.

Mohammad-Reza Jaafari, the commander of Iran’s “Lovers of Martyrdom Garrison” and a Brigadier General in the IRGC, said, “Now that America is after gaining allies against the righteous Islamic Republic and wants to attack our sanctities, members of the martyrdom-seeking garrisons across the world have been put on alert so that if the Islamic Republic of Iran receives the smallest threat, the American and Israeli strategic interests will be burnt down everywhere”.

He was speaking to a group of suicide volunteers in Shahr-Rey, on the outskirts of Tehran, on Saturday evening.

Jaafari defended recent comments by Iran’s hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad regarding the Islamic Republic’s suspected nuclear weapons program. “Ahmadinejad’s speech in Bushehr reflected the words of the Imam [Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini], the Supreme Leader [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei], the beloved martyrs and the victorious, brave, and martyrdom-seeking nation of Iran”.

“The only tool against the enemy that we have with which we can become victorious are martyrdom-seeking operations and, God willing, our possession of faithful, brave, trained and zealous persons will give us the upper hand in the battlefield”, he said.

“America and any other power cannot win in the unbalanced war against us”.

“Upon receiving their orders, our martyrdom-seeking forces will be uncontrollable and a guerrilla war may go on in various places for years to come”, Jaafari said.

“We tell the American people that tomorrow’s actions are based on the stance and adventurism of their president [George W. Bush]. So it will be a lot less costly for the American people to contain Bush than to wage a war, which will definitely cost them a great deal”.

Previously, the senior IRGC commander had declared that his suicide volunteers will destroy U.S. interests all over the world in retaliation to any attempt by Washington to hit IranÂ’s nuclear installations.

In his recent speech, the commander of Iran’s suicide units hinted that the theocratic state might also make use of long-term “sleeper cells” in the West for these operations.

In an earlier interview with Parto-Sokhan, Jaafari announced that more than 50,000 individuals had been enlisted in the Iranian military garrison opened to recruit and train volunteers for “martyrdom-seeking operations”.

He added that several military divisions of the “Lovers of Martyrdom Garrison” had already been established in several of Iran’s provinces and others were presently being formed to “confront threats by America and Israel”.

#6  Â“AhmadinejadÂ’s speech in Bushehr reflected the words of the Imam [Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini], the Supreme Leader [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei], the beloved martyrs and the victorious, brave, and martyrdom-seeking nation of Iran”.

Do Iranians know they are a “martyrdom-seeking nation”? Do they know their dingbat leader may well be planning to sacrifice his nation – in its entirety – to start the Armageddon that will bring his beloved Mahdi?

Does Mahmoud think all he has to do is enrich enough uranium to ensure a really huge nuclear “accident” – think bigger than Chernobyl – blamed on the US and the joos, with excruciating loss of Iranian Lives (martyrs all) will be enough to start World War III ( the cartoon version).?

Nuts enough to try. And his players are lined up in Syria, well armed and ready to go. Just needs to the Al Q touch and bringing in all the boyz currently screaming around nearby in for the kill. Take out Israel and MahmoudÂ’s dream of Armageddon takes shape. Martyr Iran to a nuclear takiiya attack.

He wouldnÂ’t be that nuts, would he?

#3  No, I think Joe put it well.

Only war will stop Iran's drive for a Islamic Caliphate and the Dems & Shillary are so cravenly ambitious they'd be happy to allow it [Caliphate], if it would mean the Presidency for them.

#2  Their intentions are pretty clear.

Joe, You calling for a draft?

#1  Its clear, yet again, that the Spetzlamies and Iranians, i.e. MAdMoud and the IRG, want a war and violence against America, espec on main street. Its also clear that any US-led appeasements or concessions, i.e. tolerance of a nuclearized Radicalized Iran, will likely not be enuff for the Mullahs and their ambitions for Global Caliphate. CAN WE HAVE A DRAFT NOW - America must do what needs to be done to ensure its VICTORY. The American way of war is to APPLY MASSIVE, OVERHWELMING FORCE IN ORDER TO DECISIVELY/DETERMINATIVELY DEFEAT ITS ENEMY(S) WITHIN THE SHORTEST TIME FRAME. To paraphrase Patton, "Quick wars wid overwhelming force and momentum saves lives, both ours and our enemies"; MacArthur - "Prolonged Wars/Indecision results in higher, prolonged casualties and longer term threat or reality of [American]political instability". We all know the policratic, waffle-/scalpel-happy Dems will blame Dubya and the GOP for everything anyways, so why worry about the Dem's opinions. WHERE DUBYA HIMSELF, HIS ADMIN., AND THE GOP ARE PERSONALLY CONCERNED, THE NUCLEAR ASSASSINS = VICTIMS CAMEL-KAZIES ARE AND WILL BE TARGETING HIS AND THEIR SIXES, WHICH IS WHAT HILLARY AND THE DEMS ARE WAITING FOR AS ITS THE ONLY WAY NOW THEY CAN BECOME POTUSES AND PC SAVE = KILL AMERICA FOR OWG.
