Iran leader: We must prep for 'end of times'

Iran’s supreme leader, for the first time, is telling his nation that it must prepare for war and “the end of times” as it continues to develop nuclear weapons.

Until now, the Iranian media would mostly quote clerics from seminaries on the issue of the last Islamic messiah to avoid the regime being labeled messianic. However, the wide publication of Khamenei’s statements on a need to prepare for the end of times as it confronts the West over its illicit nuclear program is alarming to Western leaders.

I've been looking for the details of that ambush, but I can't find it anywhere. From what I recall, the marine was a high level marksman for their company and made one headshot after another. The Talibans thought they were up against a much larger number of troops and eventually ran with their tails tucked.

Gunny Blonder.....I’d provide links but there are many.

Just search with this term and you’ll find many links and then you can choose the best account of the engagement.

I think the 12th is known to the elite, he lives outside Iran and that I’manutjob will use him to try to destroy Israel...

I’manutjob’s gonna start the ‘end of the world’ drama - well, that’s his dream - vision - whatever - because what else is there for his type to do? He sure as hell can’t bring prosperity to Iran...

Thanks, I get the feeling that we won’t have to wait much longer for his unvailing.

Bingo! Thanks. Sure helps with the right key words. There's surprisingly few accounts of Afghanistan engagements.

Marines Prevailed in a Day of Battle (the battle of Shewan)

"The enemy fired over 40 RPGs from the tree line but were unable to effectively engage the Marines trapped in the kill zone because of the high amount of accurate fire being directed at them," the platoon commander said. "The enemy was reinforcing the tree line and replacing fighters as quickly as we were killing them."

So the designated marksman kept his cool and continued to fire.

"The designated marksman merely adjusted [his sights] and sighted in on targets as they revealed their positions by engaging him," the platoon commander added. "He rapidly acquired and prosecuted these targets again and again, firing his rifle with exceptional accuracy ... until all of the Marines were recovered from the kill zone."

In all, the designated marksmen fired 20 shots, racking up 20 dead fighters.

The Taliban chatter about attacking my FOB all the time......they don't.....Marines therein be.

The FOB is rather sedate....the activity the Marines hand out around the outlying area is not.
