Iran will give 'astonishing' response
heraldsun.news.com.au ^ | 26jan05

IRAN will carry out an "astonishing" retaliation to any attack against the Islamic republic by Israel or the US, a top Revolutionary Guards commander was quoted as saying today.

"We will counter any stupid action by Israel and its master with firmness and in an astonishing way," Brigadier-General Mohammad-Ali Jafari was quoted as saying by the Shargh newspaper. The commander of the Revolutionary Guards' ground forces said Iran had the capacity to defeat any invader within months.

"We pushed the Baathist enemy from our country within one and a half years," he said, referring to the opening campaigns of the 1980-88 war with Iraq.

"With the experience and skills from that war and in the case of any invasion, the invaders will be defeated in less than one and a half months."

In recent days US officials have hardened their tone against the Islamic republic, which US President George W. Bush has already lumped into an "axis of evil".

Mr Bush said last Monday he could not rule out using force if Tehran failed to rein in its nuclear plans, and US Vice-President Dick Cheney said Iran was "right at the top of the list" of global trouble spots.

Mr Cheney also warned that Israel might launch a pre-emptive strike on its own to shut down Iran's nuclear program.

I'll see your "astonishments" and raise you one "shock and awe".

When are we going to start arming the opposition in Iran, anyway?

One thing is for sure: The towel heads in Tehran can never beat the astonishing response of a trident ballistic missile submarine.

How about we nuke lots of somethings?

The Middle East needs a good lesson.
Remember the Japanese? Before we nuked them they were fanatical suicidal kamikazes committing atrocities worldwide.

Two little nukes, and now they're the nicest people on earth and they make great gadgets and cars too.

Let's try this method on the Muslims.

That was TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO! I think their abilities may have degraded, since then.
