Iran's 'supreme leader' — Khamenei — tells country to brace for war

In the first such order, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has directed its more than 300,000 troops to prepare for a confrontation with Israel and the United States. IRGC has directed and participated in the Hizbullah war against Israel. "Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards and Basij should prepare themselves to get even with Zionists and Americans," IRGC commander Maj. Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi said. "The supreme leader [Ali Khamenei] will announce the time for this."

Hopefully, we'll get to use our new NATO air base in Herat, Afghanistan.

It's the end of the world was written by the commie-fag Micheal stipends.

[Blue State Insurgent]

What will happen if Iran tried to overrun SE Iraq?

We will then gain new allies, namely the Iraqi insurgents.

[shield]

They'll have to start it.

[Blue State Insurgent]

Yes. At last, somebody in here is thinking about the smart way out instead of bloodlust.

[Ainast]

I remember a scene from lonesome dove where the dude rode with the horse thieves and even though he wanted out, he still got hung.

great movie

I'm changing my sig.

LOL I thought you meant you were changing models from a Sig Sauer handgun to something else! And I thought: why do that? I LOVE my Sig! I guess that shows where MY head is at on this issue!

[Finalapproach29er]

Are you serious?

We're the only nation to use them; we'll never use them unless they're used against us first.

We don't need to. We've got the conventional firepower, we just need the WILL.

[MinorityRepublican]

Israel's military has about 600,000 men and US has about 2 million. Combined, that's 2.6 million troops.

We could occupy Iran within two months if we are willing to accept the loss of 50,000 troops.

[jschwartz]

and the 83' bombing and the hijackings and sending terrorists into Iraq and...

[jschwartz]

At least they don't need to have a cabinet meeting about when. Who even needs Allah when you have the clairvoyant, omniscient Khameinei??!!

[mo]

Time to fire up the industrial virgin meeter-or what?!!

[Left2Right]

Agreed, we are far from overextended. In fact, it seems that the US is at peak military readiness. As with Hitler, Amadjihad is no military genius.

[jschwartz]

Agreed!!!! What better time for them to declare war on the United States; we have our military surrounding them and they are almost nuclear. Please declare war before Mike Wallace leaves!!!!!

[jschwartz]

Not to mention the strategic location of our troops and their approach to nuclear option, which they will use, if not stopped now. Stars are aligned.

[Left2Right]

Islamic Ninjas?

[IonInsights]

I think George W is going to bomb Iran's nuclear sites within a few months.

I hope so.

[Constantine XIII]

If by war, he means "getting instantaneously transmuted into a glass parking lot" then yeah, that's good advice.

[garbageseeker]

If Iran decides to join the war, they will be needing to post this sign outside the city limits of Tehran
