Tehran, Iran, Jul. 22 – A military garrison has been opened in Iran to recruit and train volunteers for “martyrdom-seeking operations”, according to the garrison’s commander, Mohammad-Reza Jaafari.

Jaafari, a senior officer in the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), told a hard-line weekly close to Iran’s ultra-conservative President-elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that the new “Lovers of Martyrdom Garrison” (Gharargahe Asheghane Shahadat, in Persian) would recruit individuals willing to carry out suicide operations against Western targets.

The full text of the original interview in Persian can be seen on the weekly’s website at www.partosokhan.ir/283/page08.pdf .

We should drop in daisy-cutter just to test if these recruits have what it takes to blow up.

Well if we want a definite target to 'send a message' to the terrorists I'd say this is a good candidate.

well, we haven't used the MOAB on a live target yet. It would be a good first choice.

A friend was talking with an Iranian born fellow who is NOT a Muslim who just got back from visiting family there.

There was all kinds of radical Islamic types there than the years before and they said we will need to be at war with Iran shortly.

If they don't come out with a slurpee and a road map we can assume they didn't stop to ask for directions.

The MSM would just dust off their template and state we had destroyed another baby milk factory.

"I think this is an act of war. Does W.?"

It's also a great reason to turn that nice new Russian nuclear reactor into a pile of smoking rubble.

I wonder what kind of retirement plan they have.
