Iran Prepares For War With Israel And U.S.
The authoritative Middle East News Line has confirmed that Iran has ordered preparations for war with Israel and the United States.
In the first such order, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has ordered its more than 300,000 troops to prepare for a confrontation with Israel and the United States. IRGC has directed as well as participated in the Hezbollah war against Israel.
“Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guards and Basij [a branch of the IRGC] 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.”
Safavi said Iran would avenge Israeli air attacks on Lebanon. He said the Israeli military was aided by aircraft and weapons from the United States.
“We have to keep this sacred hatred of the enemies of Islam alive in our hearts until the time of revenge comes,” Safavi said on July 30. “I hope our nation can one day avenge the blood of innocent people in Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan. I ask God to arouse the dignity of Muslims and destroy America, Israel and their associates.”
Yesterday, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki discussed strategy in Beirut with Hezbollah and Lebanese leaders. Mottaki’s visit, welcomed by France, took place as the Lebanese leadership was said to have drawn closer to Iran during the current war with Israel.
Western intelligence sources said IRGC has deployed nearly 1,000 soldiers in Lebanon, many of them along the border with Syria. The sources said IRGC officers participated in the battle against Israel for Bint Jbail, about three kilometers from the Jewish state.
So far, Iran has denied that it sent fighters to Lebanon. But Teheran has reported efforts by so-called volunteers to aid Hezbollah.
“We haven’t deployed any forces there [Lebanon],” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said. “If we choose to give them future military support, we will announce it. We have no fear of Mr. [U.S. President George] Bush and company.”
Meanwhile, reliable Iranian sources report that Hezbollah has established a submarine unit trained by Iran to strike Israeli naval facilities along the Mediterranean Sea.
Hezbollah operatives have been trained as frogmen and operators of mini-submarines that could penetrate Israeli defenses. They said Iran plans to supply several such mini-subs to Hezbollah for sabotage operations as well as attacks on Israeli shipping.
“Hezbollah has already established a submarine unit as well as naval commandos who could land almost anywhere along the Israeli coast,” an Iranian source said.
The sources said the IRGC has overseen the effort to build Hezbollah’s navy. They said IRGC has produced mini-subs as well as procured commercial underwater platforms that could be transformed to military use.
Hezbollah has also established a naval commando unit, the sources said. They said the unit has acquired and operated Chinese-manufactured speed boats.
With 30-year old Soviet surplus and Chinese war materiél, they’ve got everything they need to bring the fight to Israel. Yeah, good luck with that. The Soviet MIGs and T-72s couldn’t stand up to the punishment Israel gave them back when they were sparkly-new, what are they expecting now? Miracles? Sorry, but I think Israel has cornered the market on those too
“Get even?” What is this, the Jets versus the Sharks? I’ve heard of a thugocracy, but this is carrying it too far.. That’s it, no more Sopranos for Maj. Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi. Only Hogan’s Heroes from now on.
I am reminded of the rule in hockey that says that the third guy into a fight is thrown out of the game. I wonder what the United States would do in the event Iran moved troops into Lebanon, assuming that the US is refereeing this little melee. Do you think a couple of B-2 flybys on Teheran? Or maybe a B-1, just to show them what REAL nuclear weapons look like.
I also seem to remember that Iraqi soldiers didn’t actually cross into Jordan during 67, just postured on the border and then whoops it was all over. I would expect more of the same from the Teheran cowards.
So let me get this straight: if plan is to push Israel into the sea, how are they going to accomplish that by launching their attacks from the sea? Isn’t that backwards? Or is that the new secret Teheran plan, to utterly confuse Israel until they bring the Zionist Regime to their knees? MUAHAHAHAHAH… *cough* *cough*

Didn’t I hear Muslims say that Islam was a religion of peace? Of love? Of compassion?
Didn’t I hear some Western world leaders say the same thing?
Now Iranian Maj. Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi says:
Gee, it sure doesn’t sound to me like Islam is any kind of religion of peace, love and compassion that I ever heard of.
Safavi speaks of Muslims’ sacred hatred. Sacred? Ahamdenijad has been belching hatred for some time and has left the world in no doubt that his hatred of Israel, of Jews, of America and the West is very sacred to him.
As a Westerner, I have never heard hatred being described as sacred. I guess things are seen much differently in Iran and in those parts of the Middle East Muslim world that have cheered Ahamdinejad on for holding fast to his sacred principles of hatred for Israel, for Jews, for Americans and for the West.
If God listens to Safavi and comes to help Iran and the rest of Muslims as Safavi hopes to help them destroy America, Israel and their associates, I’ll just bet that the Muslim God Allah turns out not to be same God we in the West pray to.
I have a strong suspicion however that Allah is the same God we pray to, but that trickster, Satan has conned Ahmadinejad and his henchmen like Safavi into praying to him and not to Allah.
In a war between Satan and our God A.K.A. Allah, our God will beat the shit out of Satan.

The imams and mullahs are telling Allah to get 21.6 million dark-eyed virgins ready. He is going to need them soon.

Is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad going to give out 300,000 Made-in-China plastic yellow keys to the Islamic Paradise, the way his predecessors gave them to Iranian children before sending them into mine fields?

I think that with US’s blessing, Iran and Israel have plans to divide the middle east arab world between them. Israel will take Lebanon and Syria. Iran will take part of southern Iraq and the North of Iraq will remain a sovereign state, as, they seem to be moderately civilized!
Then, the US is going to step in and show the Monkey ass Ahmadinejad’s regime and his turban head cabinet that are holding 70 million Iranians as hostages that plans have changed and what a LGM-30 Minuteman can really do! After dropping one or two in the deserts as warning, George Bush will go on TV and say: Monkey Ahmadinejad and his posse have 24 hours to leave Iran and this time we’ve learned our lesson from Iraq. No Troops are coming! Just look to the sky and we’ll be there and remove the half Arab’s that are controling a Persian Arian country, which by the way would love to become Israel’s and the US’s friend again, like the good old days when the Shah ruled Iran. Let’s also not forget that Israel helped Iran in it’s war against Iraq and look what it got in return! As soon as we get rid of the sub human clergy that is running Iran the whole world would be a better place. It will also teach the lazy ass Arab’s that oppress their own people so a sheik can fly around in a custom 747 that cost’s more than our AirForce One, that their days are numbered too.
