Tehran, 20 July (AKI) - A spokesman for an Iranian militant group which claims to have 55,000 would-be suicide bombers among its members said on Thursday that 27 of its men have joined Hezbollah militias in Lebanon to fight against Israel. "The first two groups of esteshhadioun (volunteers of martyrdom) have already reached Lebanon," Mohammad Ali Samadi told Adnkronos International (AKI). Speaking on the phone from the organization's headquarters in Tehran, Samadi said the militants reached Lebanon through Syria.
The spokesman for the Headquarters for the Glory of Martyrs of the International Movement said its militants in Lebanon were "27 people selected from the 55,000 members who spoke fluent Arabic and have received adequate training to fight beside their Lebanese brothers against the Zionist enemy."
The spokesman however said the militants would not engage in combat but would "identify Zionist targets and then attack them with actions of martyrdom."
Is anyone travelling between Israel and Lebanon right now?
So the hell what? In a war zone, if some jackass is running at me hoping to explode a bullet proof vest, I'm going to shoot him in the head well before he gets there. Suicide bombers do not work as well in a war zone. Idiots.
Well, OK then.
These people are just sick in the head. Which one of these psychotics does nancy Pelosi and Kofi Annan want to sign a peace treaty with again?

That many idiots in one place...almost enough to make up a democratic precinct.
Yep. They rarely get to push the button before they assume room temperature all alone.
I feel kinda sorry for the 54,973 suicide bombers that don't get to go Paradise and shag multiple doe-eyed virgins for all eternity. I wish somebody would organize some sort of mass martyrdom opportunity for them, too. The sooner, the better.
Suicide bombers haven't been too effective against jets dropping bombs.
So Iran has officially declared war on Israel?
In case anybody was still wondering who's really calling the shots.
Don't we have some sort of EP weapon that will make all these nutjob vests go off at the same time?
Basically, since you assuredly cannot HANG somebody for a suicide bombing, you go after his body, and you go after his family.
You publically bury whatever was left of the a$$hole in a barrel with the remains of a pig, and you kill every member of his immediate family. A cruise missile on top of the guy's house would probably suffice.
Iran has been asking for the 'hurt monkey' since the 1970s. I'd like to think it will get it's just due BEFORE obtaining nuclear weapons. This is as good a time as any.
Actually, that is how the Iranians beat Iraq and the US after the fall of the Shah. Only then, they didn't have exploding vests. Most of them weren't armed at all, and those that were had little more than sharp sticks. Suicidal waves of people are pretty hard to stop, especially in an urban environment.
We'll get to that eventually, just not yet. Not enough innocent American civilians have died.
