TEHRAN, Iran — A senior commander in Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard has warned that Iran will target US bases in the region should a war with Israel break out.

Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh says no Israeli attack can happen without US involvement, making all US military bases a legitimate target.

What sort of cockamamie military logic is that? Why attack the US and bring them into the war, a worst case scenario for Iran, when they've told Israel they would be on their own, would not help them in any attack against Iran?

making all US military bases a legitimate target. ................................... and visa versa.

[Mr. K]

lets see... if the little dog next door bites me I will attack the gigantic dog all around the world

I am confused- are we supposed to be frightened by this?

You are assuming all players are rational actors. But when your religion thirsts for the return of the 12th Imam and Armageddon, why not smite the nose of the dragon? M.A.D. doesn’t when one of the parties is actually mad.

[NonValueAdded]

doesn’t work, that is.

What sort of cockamamie military logic is that? Why attack the US....

It is ...psychological logic rather than military logic. Iran is scared, too.

When someone shows they’re weak, the bully has a free hand to do what it wishes. Look at our embassies and consulates in the Mid East. Weak leader= threats from tiny country bully leaders.

[ThunderSleeps]

Great. Ask Hitler how well opening up a second front worked out...

[RonInNaples]

Wait one second here! Correct me if I’m wrong but hasn’t our Fearful Leader already pre-apologized for any acts that the Israelis might take? Didn’t he assure Ahm-a-nut-job that the good ol’ US of A, staunch ally of Israel and freedom everywhere would stand by and do nothing? So, please, pleas Mr. Nut-Job, don’t attack us, just ‘cause those Israelis are doing what we should do assuming we had a real leader. One with real stones, like Michelle has and Barry doesn’t...

These folks aren’t very logical.

[goodnesswins]

And, this turds world “leader” is coming to the US next week to lecture at the UN....

[Ohiobelle]

You are confused because our president cares more about campaigning and making appearances on Letterman and The View rather than meeting with world leaders. Yes, I believe this is very real and our troops are in danger. Obama needs to get involved. Why does he think America would reelect a president that cares more about his interest than ours? It’s appalling to watch him disregard our safety. He has spent more time talking about us then to us. Stop apologizing and start talking Mr President!

[Truth29]

What's the logic? It gives Obama even more motivation to stop an Israeli attack - by whatever betrayal or threats necessary.

[onedoug]

Just what the Islamist In Chief is hoping for, with no responses.

[ex-snook]

To Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh: Read his lips.

Sooner or later, those little Persian pricks are going to get a nuke, but not in the way
they're expecting, couldn't happen to a nicer pack of IslamoFreakaZoids...

[Berlin_Freeper]

Now we can say they did.

[GeronL]

They know that Obama might take their side against Israel

[no-to-illegals]

iran’s leaders ... the lala’s of all lala’s.

If it were Mecca under that cloud, it sure would tamp things down a bit, for starters.
