Iran: If attacked by Israel, we'll target U.S.
CBS ^ | 092312 | ap

(AP) TEHRAN, Iran - A senior commander in Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard warned that Iran will target U.S. bases in the region in the event of war with Israel, raising the prospect of a broader conflict that would force other countries to get involved, Iranian state television reported Sunday.

The comments by Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who heads the Guard's aerospace division, came amid tension over Iran's nuclear program and Israel's suggestion that it might unilaterally strike Iranian nuclear facilities to scuttle what the United States and its allies believe are efforts to build a bomb. Tehran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.

Hajizadeh said no Israeli attack can happen without the support of its most important ally, the United States, making all U.S. military bases a legitimate target.

If attacked by Iran, we nuke Mecca

Most solutions are really pretty simple.

Perhaps, we could throw in Medina just for good measure.

Right.

If Iran attacks us, we attack Saudi Arabia. Good plan.

The result will be a greater influx of “refugees” from 3rd world countries into the US and more outsourcing of work overseas.

So, what else is new?

Yep, Mecca is just a bump on the road to Tehran.

We defeated NAZIISM, not just Germany in WW2. We defeated Japanese Imperialism, not just Japan in WW2.

We failed to defeat socialism itself and look where that got us, if we fail to defeat Islam do we want to know where this goes?

Don’t say “we”, say “the greatest generation”.

Greatest Generation is probably right, because it was all downhill from there.

I shudder to think of the mega-apology that the Obama State Department will issue if Iran attacks the U.S.

Two in Saudi Arabia, one in Iran. Make them so hot no one can go there for a thousand years.

The Kboom in Jerusalem should be just a blow up, then turn the site over to the Israelis.

We are in a different era. Obama ushered in the “soft power”, “reset”, “outreach” and “leading from behind” doctrines. Obama also was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace - he can't wage war, it's against his religion...uh, wait, which religion...?
In WWII it was “total war”, no hold barred kill the enemy, send in Gen. LeMay. Every American pulled his own. Now a small segment of the population fights for the remaining fat & lazy ones who shop all day long.
Now we live in fantasy world where we cannot even use nasty words to describe these blood-thirsty Islamicists. We even call them the “religion of peace”. So, when and if we decide to get serious, (like the Israelis, who cal a spade a spade), then we can cut the serpent's head off in Tehran. By the way, once Iran is obliterated, world terror will drop to near zero...

Obama: If attacked, we will surrender and pretend we aren’t doing it. This is a just a bump in the road.

Thousands of ‘soft targets’ here - schools, hospitals, offices, malls, apts, stores, homes etc - are going to be hit in the asymmetrical warafre which breaks-out when the sleepers et their ‘orders to go’, after war breaks out. IMO.
