Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards began military maneuvers on Monday, news agencies said, the same day the U.S. Navy said it was carrying out an exercise in the Gulf.

How to start and "journalist" orgy?

WHAT A FRIGGIN JOKE. Every time one of these Dictatorship Armies who goose step down the Parade route try to fight anybody, they get their asses handed to them. Just like Weasley Clark, they would rather look good than be good.

Are they practicing vaporization in anticipation of a nuclear attack by Israel?

With what? Dr Paul said: ” I mean, they have nothing. They don’t have an army or navy or air force.”

[HoosierHawk]

With what?

Jihad Barbie!

From NewsBusters.org:
BARACK OBAMA CLIP #1, DATED MAY 18: Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us.

OBAMA CLIP #2, DATED MAY 18: Iran, they spend 1/100th of what we spend on the military. I mean, if Iran ever tried to pose a serious threat to us, they wouldn't stand a chance.

OBAMA CLIP #3, DATED MAY 20: Iran is a grave threat. It has an illicit nuclear program. It supports terrorism across the regions and militias in Iraq. It threatens Israel's existence. It denies the Holocaust.

I don't know about you, but doesn't Ahmadinejad sound more like a Marxist than an Islamic fundamentalist? Check out the language he uses in bold type below (assuming of course the translation is accurate).

From WorldThreats.com:
"Chavez pledged that his country would 'stay by Iran at any time and under any condition,' state television reported. Ahmadinejad said he saw in Chavez a kindred spirit." "'We do not have any limitation in cooperation,' Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. 'Iran and Venezuela are next to each other and supporters of each other. Chavez is a source of a progressive and revolutionary current in South America and his stance in restricting imperialism is tangible.'":

From National Public Radio (NPR):
"Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has been visiting countries such as China, Iran and Russia as part of an effort to build a 'strategic alliance' of interests not beholden to the United States. He considers the United States his arch enemy.":

From the Sino-Russian Joint Statement of April 23, 1997:
"The two sides [China and Russia] shall, in the spirit of partnership, strive to promote the multipolarization of the world and the establishment of a new international order."

That WorldThreats.com link where I got the Ahmadinejad quote is apparently no longer working. It had worked up until a day or so ago. I guess I’ll have to track down the quote from some other source. There’s a pretty good chance I’ll find an even better one.

“Immortals? “

If the Immortals got beat by the Spartans surely the mullah’s Revolutionary Guard ain’t going to fare well against a West coalition.

But the mullahs don’t plan on fighting fair me thinks. They probably have shells loaded with bio weapons ready to ship to Hezzbully in Lebanon on short notice.

Everytime the Revolutionary Guard has war games the numbers are cut in half. Its hard to practice suicide more than once.

Good catch. Someone must have told him to shut his mouth, after the 18th of May.

But boy howdy, ain't 'dat Obambi a quick study? His statements two days later, in direct reversal of the earlier ones, are actually accurate!

He keeps going like this, people are going to start believing that Obambi doesn't believe a word that comes from his own lips.

He jes sez stuff like dis to try 'an get us like him. ;^)
