Militia and Bassij ready to defend the Mullahs' regime

[Khashayar]

Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi said here Thursday that the country's armed forces and Bassij (voluntary) forces are in full combat readiness and will under command of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution defend the Islamic Revolution.

Neither Americans nor Zionists would dare attacking Iran because the country's youths would give them crushing response in the upcoming February 10 (22nd of Bahman) rallies, marking the 26th victory anniversary of Islamic Revolution in Iran, he said in an address to a group of people and officials.

Highlighting the most significant global developments in the world, Safavi referred to the triumph of Iran's Islamic Revolution, collapse of ex-Soviet union, fundamental changes in the information and telecommunications sectors, growing presence of the US in the region and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq as the four major global developments in the past 25 years which have shaped new conditions on the regional and international levels.

The US vulnerability as well as its being trapped in Iraq's quagmire have prompted the Americans issue threats against Iran and make a blame game by exerting pressure on the Islamic state, Safavi concluded.

Iran is in the "crosshairs."

Do you really think that we forgot how Iran's Mullahs sent children into the battlefield to fight Iraqis. Iranians will do the same again. They would snuff the life from the flower of their country rather than fight themselves.
Shame upon you, rather than end the fight by sitting down and negotiating your differences, you continue your Islamo-Fascist ways. It is not a theocracy you have in Iran, it is a dictatorship.

Our military is very scared of rallies... /sarcasm

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

I'm more frightened of those spooky autobiographical comic panels in Persepolis.

(Shudder.)

-good times, G.J.P.(Jr.)

[537cant be wrong]

oh man.
bagdad bobs conjugal cousin tehran terry is really
putting the fear into the U.S. military.

[Howlin]

I don't think they ought to be counting on their "youth."

[GeronL]

Their youth are the ones who get conscripted to become martyrs

[Howlin]

But I thought the young people in Iran want change, am I wrong?

[GeronL]

I am sure they do but it won't be the 80-year old members of the Guardian Council doing the fighting.

[Howlin]

Oh, somebody actually figured out the ages of the people blocking this last night; OLD.....OLD........OLD.

[GeronL]

Our children will defeat the Great Satan at the mandatory rallies on Feb 10.

so scary...

[McGavin999]

They are trying to build strawmen. They will try to whip up the youth of the country and make them believe that the US is their enemy. Unfortunately for them, the Iranian youth are a LOT smarter than the mad mullahs think.

I believe they will see right through this, especially if they got word of the SOTU speech last night.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Sounds like the mad mullahs may have to call their boys back from Iraq. Worthless punks don't grow on trees. Aw...too bad.

Their youth are the ones who get conscripted to become martyrs Howlin, not all their youth, but there are some who have pledged to become suicide bombers.

Iranian Suicide Bombers

Thursday, December 2, 2004

Some 200 masked young men and women gathered at a Tehran cemetery Thursday to pledge their willingness to carry out suicide bomb attacks against Americans in Iraq and Israelis. The ceremony was organized by the Headquarters for Commemorating Martyrs of the Global Islamic Movement, a shadowy group that has since June been seeking volunteers for attacks in Iraq and Israel. A spokesman, Ali Mohammadi, described Thursday's group as the "first suicide commando unit," though another official has claimed members already have carried out attacks in Israel. "Sooner or later we will bury all blasphemous occupiers of Islamic lands," Mohammadi said.

Sunday, Iran's deputy interior minister for security affairs told reporters the movement had no official sanction and said such groups could operate only "as long as their ideas are limited to theory." The group, though, has the backing of some prominent hard-line Iranian politicians. The deputy minister, Ali Asghar Ahmadi, did not say if the government had tried to crack down on the military style training the group claims to offer or whether officials believed any of its volunteers had crossed into Iraq or into Israel.

Iran has had no diplomatic ties with the United States since the 1979 Islamic revolution ousted the U.S.-backed shah. But it says it has no interest in fomenting instability in Iraq and that it tries to block any infiltration into Iraq by insurgents - while pleading that its porous borders are hard to police.

The last thing these people might see is this:
