Revolutionary Guards chief: Iran will launch tsunamis against enemies
2007-11-24
The chief of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards on Friday warned that if the nation's enemies continued plotting against it, they would launch a tidal wave of resistance.
"We'll murderlize 'em! Hrowf! Hrowf!"
Gen. Mohammed Ali Jafari spoke on the anniversary of the founding of the Basij paramilitary force and during a particularly tense period of relations between Iran and the West, largely due to the Islamic Republic's nuclear program. "The ocean of the Iranian nation may sometimes look calm but if it becomes stormy it will create tsunamis," he told worshippers before a Friday prayer ceremony on the Teheran University campus.

#7  The dividend of Iraq is not apparent, but it will be in he future. It was the right call at the right time.

Even if that "dividend" never materializes, invading Iraq was—as David D. has noted—something we hade to do so that we could at least tell our children and grandchildren, "We tried." Much more nastiness awaits the MME (Muslim Middle East). The vast majority of it they will have brought upon themselves. The catastrophic disassembly of Iran's nuclear R&D effort is but a small foretaste of what awaits the entire region.

#6  McZoid, it was not. The dividend of Iraq is not apparent, but it will be in he future. It was the right call at the right time.

Iran s different story. We simply can't shift the burden on our children/granchildren. Not sure how, but we have to deal with it... where there's will, there's way.

#1  Frankly, with dollar deflation and the spectacle of jihad support issuing from our nominal GWOT allies - Pakistan and Saudi Arabia - intervention appears unlikely. Unthinkable but unlikely.
