Iranian hardline students leave to fight Israel
2006-07-28
A group of hardline Iranian students left for Lebanon on Wednesday pledging to help Hizbollah fight Israeli forces there, witnesses said.
You read it here first...
Iranian hardliners have made great public show of recruiting volunteers for "martyrdom-seeking operations" in recent years, but there is no record of any of these Iranian volunteers taking part in attacks in Iraq, or against Israel. "The Prophet Mohammad's army is on its way to fight against the Zionists," chanted some 50 volunteers at Tehran's Behesht-e Zahra cemetery, where a large tree-lined area is dedicated to Iran's "martyrs" killed in the 1980-88 war with Iraq. "A group of 200 volunteer students will be dispatched to Lebanon via Turkey. We are leaving Tehran today by bus," Amir Jalili, a spokesman for the group, told Reuters.
"200 tickets to Beirut, please. One way only."
"We hope Turkey will let us pass the border and go to Syria. If not we will come back to Tehran."
I hope Turkey lets you pass and the Israelis kill half of you and maim the other half for life.

KABOOM!!!

I think it would make a fine message.

#23  Reckon there's a detonator in there?

Nope. He's just happy to ... well, march up and down the square at any rate.

#20  Ed, I just got sent a photo email of a "virgin" that was so large you could only see the guys ankles with her on top of him, (I wish I had access to my email from here) telling him he only had 71 more to go, pretty funny.
Virgins come in all sizes heh.

I'll be amazed if they make it to Beirut alive.

#16  From the linked article:

The volunteers stressed theirs was a private initiative, not backed by state authorities. The group, calling itself the Justice-Seeking Movement of Students, said they had no military training. Some 50 students boarded buses from Tehran, but more were to join them from other cities at the border, they said.

This may not be entirely true. There are rumors that there may have been some "coercion", as this alleged fragment from an alleged intercept reveals:

(Mad Mullah): Abu, what is the worst fraternity on this campus?

(Abu): Well that would be hard to say, sir. They're each outstanding in their own way.

(Mad Mullah): Cut the horseshit, son. I've got their disciplinary files right here. Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode.

(Abu): You're talking about The Glorious Lions, sir.

#12  Today, we have a new ME word - hard liner.
In baseball, that would be a fast level hit, but in Farsi, it means useful fool. Yes, useful fools will board buses for the fighting in Lebanon.
I do hope they make it there. Kind of like crossing the bridge into Fredricksburg.

#11  ...Iranian officials have repeatedly said such groups have no official sanction and say they can operate only "as long as their ideas are limited to theory."

Maybe Rooters thinks this is, theoreticaly, the hardline militant/insurgent negotiating team of fighting volunteer idea debaters. Film at eleven.

#10  ------ Hizbollah USO COUPON -----------

Good for 5 cups of tea at any Starbucks in Beirut or surrounding communities. Can only be redeemed by armed, hardline Iranian student seeking martyrdom. Good for... oh what the hell, it's good for ETERNITY!
