Oooohh thats harsh!
I thought that UBL had a similar warning go out? Anyways, could it be that this Iranian Kook-Nut, uses a slightly different playbook than UBL & Co.?
I guess if we were dealing with Islamofascists in general, then Operation Vlad would work along with Operations Lionheart and Martel.
As for unruly Persians, there's always Operation Khan.
Rather full of yourself aren't you? Go peddle your incivility somewhere else, OK? If you want to have a civil discourse on agreements and disagreements regarding this topic, I'll be happy to oblige, but when you start out with drivel like your statement above, don't bother me OK. I don't stoop to your level.
Umar, the leader of the Muslim armies did the same thing. He sent King Yazdgird III of Persia a similar letter before conquering them in 632 AD.
Very interesting...it seems like more than a coincedence.
I wonder if he signs his letters to Santa the same way?
funny you should mention sleepwalking...just the other day I asked Mr. C4E if he had a feeling of uneasiness..something in the air. Not to break out the tin foil..but I feel there is something.
Those were attacks carried out by stateless groups on individual vulnerable targets, and the Muslims have never bothered to "warn" about those, any more than they warned about piracy or raids or their numerous other violent activities. This was because they weren't dealing with a leader and weren't interested in surrender, but simply in attacking something either for profit or as a form of terrorism.
Warnings were issued by a legitimate Islamic leader for an attack by upon another king, city or state. An "official" attack, so to speak. People are upset because this is probably the first occasion in modern times that an Islamic leader of a state has been nutty enough to do this (well, leaving aside their constant raving about Israel).
Yeah, but at least those people hadn't been listening to the aliens threatening to wipe out an entire nation for years, like the dipsticks in our current situation.
It's unnerving; I suppose people felt this way prior to WWII, when everybody knew something was going to happen, but not when or how.
But then, maybe nothing will happen. All we can do is just go on about our business (and not let the Dems get in charge again, because they would turn us over to Iran in an instant).
Thanks. I stole it from another Freeper who stole it from a bumper sticker.
"This coded letter coupled with the new wipe out Israel comment today SHOULD have the CIA scrambling...."
They were, until they realized that it contained no classified information that could be leaked to undermine US Foreign Policy. ;-)
Door C: Very much like Door B, except that they just hate the Jews so much they don't think they get a warning.
Yep. Plink every tank and AFV. Carpet bomb every airbase and troop formation. Sink every ship. Destroy every bridge, every power station, every part of the infrastructure we can hit without serious collateral damage. Lather, rinse, repeat, until the Iranians either rise up against the imams or (more likely) the imams and Imanutjob have to choose between having nukes and having a nation.
I must be busier than I thought, as I completely missed the boat on this one. While I haven't seen the actual letter, I never regarded it as a "peaceful Overture". Was the full translation of the letter published somewhere?
We are discussing a letter that gives one of the traditional Islamic warnings, and the source is a non-Al-Qaida source. It doesn't matter if A-Q didn't warn us before those attacks, this one is almost certainly a declaration of war.
(This coded letter coupled with the new wipe out Israel comment today SHOULD have the CIA scrambling....)
Sorry, but the CIA doesn't have enough man power. Most agents are already too busy trying to bring down the Bush administration....can't have a war on two fronts!
May I suggest Operation Salamis?
