Ahmadinejad Flies Into Snit Over "300"

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has spoken out against the hit movie 300, joining the chorus of Iranian critics who claim that the Warner Bros. movie unfairly portrays the country's history. Though he didn't name the movie by name, in a speech delivered on Wednesday (March 21), Ahmadinejad said Western countries are ''trying to tamper with history by making a film and by making Iran's image look savage.''

Silly Mahmoud, it's not "300" that makes your country look savage. It's kidnapping diplomats. And denying the Holocaust. And trying to develop nuclear weapons for jihad. And threatening to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth. And supporting brave jihadi babyhunters...

Btw, "300" went over the $100 million mark last Friday.

Another Iranian General MIA

My anti-mullah friend emails:

Hi Vinnie,
Another IRGC general has disappeared.
Radio Israel's Persian Service quotes the Sunday Times of London that IRGC Brigadier Mohammad Sultani in charge
of IRGC op's in the Persian Gulf has also gone missing. Sunday Times [according to Radis.org] quotes an Israeli source as saying that
successive disappearances of Asgari and Sultani are far from coincidental; rather it appears that there are [covert]
operations in place aimed at shaking the command structure of IRGC [the main prop of the mullahcracy].
Sunday times [according to Radis.org] goes on to say that the concensus in Israel seems to be that
branches of the U.S. government in charge of U.S. policy vis-a-vis Iran and Syria are in the midst of organizing
operations in collaboration with [the dissatisfied] commanders of the IRGC.

Ken Timmerman discusses Iran on The Daily Show

The video below contains an interview with Kenneth Timmerman.
While the interview is not new, it still has great bearing on current events, and it is well worth watching.

Ken Timmerman is a first-rate investigative journalist, a Nobel prize nominee, the founder of the Foundation for Democracy in Iran and the author of several highly regarded books. Timmerman's books should be considered required reading for all Americans who seek a better understanding of the west's current conflict with Islam as a whole, and Iran in particular. more...

Off topic, but for those who love free enterprise, hate burkhas, and plan on traveling to Israel in the future, I present this link.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070319/od_nm/hooters_israel_dc;_ylt=ApHsuoSac3Ywpqw0LuruSYnMWM0F

For what it's worth, I'm not against anyone posting about attractive women, but I do like it when the post is actually about a social issue over which we may be concerned. I figure this link applies because it's about the differences between us, with our true allies, VS our mutual, and oppressive enemies

Also saw "300" yesterday. No words can truly describe this film. You just need to see it. But I will point out, as I have said elsewhere, we live in a world of wolves. You can guess which scene I keep replaying in my mind since I saw this film

USA, all the way!

And I also strongly recommend "Preachers of Hate". It was one of the most profoundly disturbing reads of my life. VERY compelling.

Posted by: Kafir at March 19, 2007 04:11 PM (HsmTD)

6 I don't get tired of saying this: I love Ken Timmerman the man definitely knows what he's talking.

There's just one thing he said that I don't entirely agree with. He suggested funding the opposition. I'm sort of opposed to this since it's likely to attrack opportunists/profiteers (I think).
I believe it would more beneficial to provide the opposition with information and training under direct supervision of USCENTCOMM starting with VoA's Persian service. The reason I insist on CENTCOMM's presence is to weed out Mullahs' infiltrators. And frankly I trust the U.S. military far more than the CIA.
One should also bring Israeli's into the picture (Iranian patriots feel an ancient friendship with the Jews.)
Training camps could be set up in Kurdistan area (with the approval of the Kurds of course).

9 Kafir,

I believe the correct translation of "We shall never submit" into Arabic is:

لن نستسلمُ

And it's pronounced "Lan nas'taslimo". Note that the pronoun "Nah'no
(we)" is not needed since it's implied in the inflection of the verb.

Compare this with "I shall never submit" "Lan as'taslimo"

لن استسلمُ

Iranian TV Reviews "300"; Hilarity Ensues

I always get a kick out of propagandists who go out of their way to lie when the truth serves just as well or better. According to Iranian TV, "300" is Zionist propaganda that depicts the Spartans as "peace lovers" and Persians as "uncivilized."

You probably have to see the movie to fully understand how ridiculous the second and third claims are, but you probably got the idea from the trailers that the movie depicts a group of warlike and battle-hungry Spartans licking their chops to take on the armies of the vast and incredibly wealthy Persian civilization. The Persian elites bathe in luxury while Leonidas's troops enjoy a lifestyle that can best be described as "spartan." The Persians are shown as rigid and disciplined, employing advanced military technology (including hand grenades) while the Spartans make do with their swords and spears. The film slams the Persians plenty--but not for being "uncivilized."

If I were looking to whip up the Persian masses, I think I might've mentioned that the only Persian women shown in the flick are lesbians, that the Persians are shown engaging in decadent, gender-bending orgies and that King Xerxes is portrayed as vain, incompetent, very wierd and ambiguously gay--and I include the word "ambiguously" only because he's not explicitly shown banging any dudes. Think Ra from Stargate--only taller and more gay.

The funny thing here is that the movie doesn't say anything about the ancient (pre-Islamic) Persian civilization that the Iranian Ayatollahs don't say about it themselves. I guess it's like that whole "only I get to say my sister is ugly" thing.

h/t : Allah.

6 You're right, except for the people who were already here, the people brought here to work as slaves, the chinese to build the rail ways, the cubans who fought along side the Americans, the philippinos,same thing, each other, with the exception of say ruby ridge, waco, wounded knee and many more you couldn't be more right rooster. There has always been abuse and there always will be, it's just in how it's either tolerated or accepted at the time is all. Hell look at the you get abused here.

8 That doesn't mean that we can deny our own actions.. now does it. Perhaps the thing that helps those golden scales tip back in favor is that we can admit and learn from them. I hope our final judgment isn't based on the actions of others compared to ourselves. Unless I'm being compared to rooster..... as I often am. I figure a 50 -50 chance then.

Posted by: wb at March 17, 2007 11:49 PM (s6CsG)

9 The abused slaves who were purchased from their own people and freed by the Americans. Shit they are still enslaving people in Africa. The abused Chinese who were so greatly cared for in their own land that they spent every thing they owned to get here. The Cubans who were so well treated in Cuba they spent days on rafts to come to a country where they are abused? The so called abused can always go back to where they are not abused. I don't know of any abused Phillipinos in America. I do know of the ones who have minority hiring rights over white Americans who made this nation. The abused can be measured on a scale of 10 to 1. 10 being the abuse they received in their native lands and 1 or 2 representing the abuse they received in American. Apparently the abuse is so much better here they choose to stay. Abused BULLSHIT. Crybabies? YOU BET. Abused me? I'm far to much man to cry "I being abused" like some worthless crybaby to lazy to get off his ass and grab some of the wealth America offers. I'm not a minority so I can't blame my lack of effort on another race. Wish to end abuse? Get a job. My McDonalds gets 10 applicants a day from Mexicans who know the word WORK but apparently don't know the word ABUSED.

10 Something does tell me that sooner or later the crybabies will convince them they are abused to.

Posted by: greyrooster at March 18, 2007 01:32 AM (XDiqx)

greyrooster and wb both have good points so let me just say, tht these are not the tmes to be stoking our enemies fires by equating ourselves with them. We are better. We have always been better.

The favorite anti-American slam is to bring up native Americans, but I could show you that as often as not, some other enemy was stirring up one tribe or another for thier own gain against us. Also, they had wars before Euopean colonies were established.

The world wasn't all lilly pure before America came along, and we inherited a lot of crap from the nations before us, but we have done more to counter the old ways, and promote true freedom and equality than any other in history. And we would rather trade, than fight. The USA has always been like that. Trade is good for everyone. When bad guys come and muck that up, you need to kick thier butts, but otherwise lets make a deal!

So to wb, yes we did things. So what?! I figure we have already dealt with that, and don't need to punish ourselves any more. It just makes our enemies feel like its OK to kick us some more. Giving them liscence to kick us leaves us on the defensive, and it weakens our own counter points by association. When under fire, shoot back! Giving an inch by way of acknowledgement is a losing strategy, and it's why we lost the last election to the leftards. Switch targets.

To greyrooster I say, yes, there are a lot of whiners, and assholes with thier hands out crying that we owe them. We still have to try to be honest about whether or not we ever did anything wrong. We sure don't need to go around wearing a 'kick-me' sign over it, but we shouldn't try and deny it either. Our hand has been in the cookie jar a few times, and we learned from it. So with folks like wb, just get them aimed at the enemy. It should be easy to find something about the left to bitch about. As Dick Morris says, we need to change the subject.

Peace (through superior firepower) to you all!

USA, all the way!

13 Good points. I finally saw the movie. The film delves little at all into the character of the Persian Empire, that was not the filmmakers' aim. But anything to prove that someone in the Middle East will get angry if mentioned at all....LOL. Oddly, this movie has caused no problems in my half Greek family with any of the Iranians we know (who do identify themselves as "Persians"). Who knows, maybe a mock throw-down will have to be staged.

Are there any complaints that Persians in the film are depicted as having a host of rather incredible deformities, or resemble orcs as portrayed in "The Lord of the Rings" films? You'd think they'd get hung up on that part.

Posted by: Pim's Ghost at March 18, 2007 09:58 AM (TK5Ak)

14 Professor, I don't believe I ever said anything that implied we had needed to be punished further as a nation for mistakes that were made. It would be fundementaly wrong to deny that they were made and a real disservice to those who paid the ultimate price by having to correct a moral injustice with a political solution. I don't see how being in denial aids the enemy. In fact quite the opposite. I think you're missing my whole point. Being honest does not weaken our resolve, it strengthens our position. The only thing I originaly responded to was the comment that the US had never abused any one, it's bullshit. As for my target sights, they are set on inaccuracies, where ever they may be. Truth doesn't really have a side. It just is what it is. Pointing out other things that went on does not somehow exempt the actions when veiwed through the prism of hindsight that were clearly wrong. Keeping it real is how we learn and grow. Keeping a blind eye because it's not a comfortable issue only insures that it will come back, not only by those from the cultures that it happened to but by the culture that will repeat this as it keeps no recollection of it's past.

Let's try an exercise in seperating facts from feelings.

Group A had group B show up and take what ever they could hold onto by force or by lying. Group A was for the most part extinguished.

Group C were forced to work as slaves for group B.

Group D was told fight with us and we will treat you better than group E. After group D did that, group B said no, we've decided to treat you the same way as group E did.

Group B has f*cked up along the way, that's all.

When groups A-Z unite, they are the alphabet ( America in this weak analogy) and can only be broken from the inside ( read... racism)

That's the card that's going to be played here against us in the US. Remember that in wars, people will fight for their own causes not just the reasons that it started.

You say that we've dealt with all that, but you still need to talk about it as though it has no bearing. I agree that it doesn't until you have someone say that it didn't happen. It's much more productive to look at our collective history, say yes.... that happened and yes... it was wrong and we are now stronger because we try to learn from our mistakes. That forces the enemy to only be able to attack what we are doing now, which if we have learned from our past, is a much better job than anything we've done before.

I'm not doing anything other than trying to strengthen our hand to face that. Please don't dismiss that as not something that needs to be dealt with, it's too important.

16 wb, what I'm pointing out is the fact that we are losing the perception war, not because we are afraid to discuss our dirty laundry. We are losing it because only our dirty laundry gets aired. So we need to stop it. Have no fear, our enemies will point out our dirty laundry whether we do or not. I'm trying to explain that we spend to much of our precious energy responding to attacks, either by apologizing for them, or denying them. I need, more time to explain this. Basically we don't have the extra to waste on defense that doesn't work. USA, all the way!

17 What the crybabies (mostly blacks with their hands out) fail to realize is that white people were enslaved many time throughout the majority of history. The Vikings, Lombards, Vandals, Franks, Jews, Arabs, Persians, Spanish, Greeks, Saxons, Alemans, Agars, Goths, Romans, Egyptians, American Indians, Africans, on and on. All ensalved others and in turn were enslaved. So why doesn't all these groups piss and moan and cry and demand appologies and money. Bullshit! It a mindset of brainwashed blacks.

I agree with Michael, the American Indian thing has been overplayed. If truth be know the Indians started the killing, torture and enslavement of white people same as they had always done to each other. Mankind played by different rules 500 years ago. When a superior culture met another culture they took it over. You make wish to exalt the virtues of the American Indian all you wish but it's pure garbage. At the time of the White man intering the new world Indians had no central government, no domestic animals, no written lanquage, hell, they hadn't even invented the wheel. History shows the biggest Indian murders of one tribe against the other was in Oaklahoma to settle age old differences. If white men hadn't not discovered the new world it wouldn't have advanced one bit in the last 500 years. They would still be running around attacking and killing each other and at time eating each other. Now we have millions of Indians living in a prosperous nation with opportunities for everyone. Not the white man's fault if a bottle of bourdon is worth more to them than a book. Minorities have been brainwashed into thinking they cannot compete because of who they are. And it get worst every day. They can get off their asses and compete or mother nature will take can of them as she always does in the end. The Government articially holding them up is bullshit. Get up, quit crying, quit hating, quit your jealousy (the real truth). Either stand up or dig a hole and lay in it. Not my job to hold any able bodied person up. I've enough to do with those unfortunate ones who cannot help themselves.
Amazing how blacks in this area can't find work. Their is a building boom and I personally know 3 contractors begging for help. THAT WILL WORK. The result? Mexicans getting two bills a day under the table. And they don't spend it on gold chains and funny looking cloths. They save it. The Home Depot a few miles from me has a dozen Mexicans standing in front waiting for work. They go to where work is. They don't wait for the government to send it to them.

WHITE PEOPLE ARE GOOD PEOPLE and screw anyone who don't think so. That includes you nerds in academia who are responsible for most of the minority brainwashing.

Holidaze In Iran

My anti-mullah friend sends:

Vinnie,
As I expected the regime and the celebrants have clashed once again this year.
The mullahs of course claim that they don't really oppose the celebrations only "the mischief makers and the unruly element".
This blogger claims that the regime's own media outlet KAYHAN (of Tehran) reports hundreds of "mischief makers" being arrested around the country
and that nine of the regime's guards have been killed in the clashes and more than 100 other IRGC men injured.
On an unrelated note: Mullahs are training hundreds of Hama men.

Here's the celebration the mullahs love to hate.

For those thirsting for news about Asgari, the missing general, I don't have anything worthwhile to post. Conflicting stories are all over the intertubes.

However, this piece by Michael Ledeen is worth a read.

They couldn't get their own oil out of the ground without Western technology, hell, they can't even refine their own oil into gasoline. They have to import it. Now they can't get their nuke plant up and running without it.

This story gave me a good laugh. Apparently, nobody told Khamenei and Ahmadinnerjacket that even Allah can't make money grow on trees.

4 IRAN WILL IMPOVERISH ITSELF BEFORE IT IS ABLE TO MAKE WAR EFFECTIVELY. Prior to 9/11, Iran was able to carry on for decades, pursuing a mediaeval society without much Western influence. Tyranny was accepted, dissent stifled, its immediate neighbours gave up any interest in conflict, and in any case were just as tyrannical and mediaeval as Iran. Now, Iran is flooded by rapid change. Lebanon, Iraq, and Afghanistan are progressing bumpily towards democracy, and these democratic ideas are spreading to Iran. The Iranian people clearly want to liberalize and live in freedom, and these feelings are likely to grow stronger as the Western onslaught of cultural influence continues. Iranian leaders have responded by increasing their hate and encouraging the people to hate. This process is clearly at an advanced stage, the hate invective is ubiquitous and unending, and it is ever more emotional and irrational, as one would expect from emotions out of control. The invective is aimed at almost every conceivable population, it is effusive, it is moralistic, it is articulated in loud, stained voices, and it is so irrational that much of it is self-contradictory. One minute, the UN is to be praised for partially agreeing with something Iran has done, but the next minute, the UN has done something offensive to Iran, which means the UN should be abolished. Clearly, Iran feels itself to be in a very tight corner, and like Hitler in his final days in his bunker, they vainly hope for the arrival of â€œsuper-weaponsâ€ which will obliterate the enemy, and remove the threat. I am relieved that the Allies have finally determined to fight Iran with cold war methods, because they will probably work.

Mullah Meltdown In The Works

Things have heated up since my initial post.

From WaPo:

A former Iranian deputy defense minister who once commanded the Revolutionary Guard has left his country and is cooperating with Western intelligence agencies, providing information on Hezbollah and Iran's ties to the organization, according to a senior U.S. official.
Ali Rez Asgari disappeared last month during a visit to Turkey. Iranian officials suggested yesterday that he may have been kidnapped by Israel or the United States. The U.S. official said Asgari is willingly cooperating. He did not divulge Asgari's whereabouts or specify who is questioning him, but made clear that the information Asgari is offering is fully available to U.S. intelligence.
Asgari served in the Iranian government until early 2005 under then-President Mohammad Khatami. Asgari's background suggests that he would have deep knowledge of Iran's national security infrastructure, conventional weapons arsenal and ties to Hezbollah in south Lebanon. Iranian officials said he was not involved in the country's nuclear program, and the senior U.S. official said Asgari is not being questioned about it. Former officers with Israel's Mossad spy agency said yesterday that Asgari had been instrumental in the founding of Hezbollah in the 1980s, around the time of the bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut.
Iran's official news agency, IRNA, quoted the country's top police chief, Brig. Gen. Esmaeil Ahmadi-Moqaddam, as saying that Asgari was probably kidnapped by agents working for Western intelligence agencies. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that Asgari was in the United States. Another U.S. official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, denied that report and suggested that Asgari's disappearance was voluntary and orchestrated by the Israelis. A spokesman for President Bush's National Security Council did not return a call for comment

I would like to remind that my anti-mullah friend said this:

Apparently Asâ€™gari had managed to get his immediate
family out of Iran before he went missing which lends credence
to the possibility of him have sought political asylum somewhere.

Assad becomes 'enraged' at Ahmadinejad

In an article today at The Jerusalem Post, it was reported that a phone call between the leaders of Syria and Iran became hostile when Iranian president "Ahmadinejad voiced support for the establishment of an international tribunal on the assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri".

According to the report, "Assad became enraged and launched into an angry tirade, cursing the Iranians at the end of the conversation."

According the Blotter, a high-ranking Revolutionary Guards General is missing.

The good news? He may have defected to the West.

Whatever the case, it seems to have put the Iranian government into full pants crapping mode:

"This is a fatal blow to Iranian intelligence," said the source, explaining that Asgari knows sensitive information about Iran's nuclear and military projects. Iran called tens of its Revolutionary Guard agents working at embassies and cultural centers in Arab and European countries back to Tehran out of fear that Asgari might disclose secret information about their identities, according to the analyst.

Update: My anti-mullah friend emails:

Vinnie,
According to Radio Israel Persian Service, As'gari was among
the highest ranking members of the Islamic Republic's Ministry of Defence.
They also report that the regime itself publicly acknowledges As'gari's
disappearance. Apparently As'gari had managed to get his immediate
family out of Iran before he went missing which lends credence
to the possibility of him have sought political asylum somewhere.
This is not without precedence. The defectors from the IRI regime
have, in the past few years, included at least one ambassador and one
nuclear scientist.

However if his family is gone , then he is safe and sound babbling like an idiot in the Good Ol USA.

2 Missing Iranian general. How little we know. I imagine that he is in Germany by now. At a certain airbase before flying to the USA.

3 How come no missing generals from the U.S. or Israel? Aren't we the evil ones that good men should be fleeing from?

Suck on eggs, Leftards. You're wrong about America.

4 Hmmmm, could this be a precurser for an impending Israeli strike? Does this General "know something we don't" and decided to make the arrangements to get him and his favorite fuzzy muzzies out before the big pig roast? One can only hope.

Hold Iran Accountable by Ken Timmerman

When Ken Timmerman speaks, it's a good idea to pay attention:

Hold Iran Accountable
By Kenneth R. Timmerman
Published February 28, 2007

The messages we send as the world's sole superpower matter. Today, Iran's leaders are testing us. They are testing us in Iraq, where Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) networks continue to fund both Sunni and Shi'ite insurgents. They are testing us at the International Atomic Energy Agency and at the United Nations, where they continue to defy demands by the international community to verifiably suspend their nuclear programs, which constitute a clear violation of Iran's commitments as a signatory of the Nonproliferation Treaty.

How we respond to these tests is not an academic question. Understanding the intentions and the modus operandi of this regime are life-and-death matters... more...

3 Gulf states agree to IAF overflights en route to Iran

Now this is interesting.
From Haaretz:

"Three Arab states in the Persian Gulf would be willing to allow the Israel Air force to enter their airspace in order to reach Iran in case of an attack on its nuclear facilities, the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Siyasa reported on Sunday.

According to the report, a diplomat from one of the gulf states visiting Washington on Saturday said the three states, Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates, have told the United States that they would not object to Israel using their airspace, despite their fear of an Iranian response." more...

I attack people also, but I at least try to base it on the arguement they have made.

OK? USA, all the way!

10 Hey Michael. I only attack those who attack me. They very often start a thread by insulting me. So, if you're going to lecture people on posting etiquette, don't single me out. You're defending a gas-bag and a racist. Like I have said many times before, I'd love to have a serious debate or discussion in general, but I don't take crap from mental midgets like Jeff and Rooster. You want me to stop? Make them stop. Don't blame me for defending myself against their stupid bullshit. That said, name one topic you'd like to explore and I'm on it. Besides unicorns, of course.

p.s.

Who is Ken Hoop & what did he do to piss you off?

Posted by: osamabinhiding at February 23, 2007 01:09 PM (JVqe0)

Ken Hoop is probably a very nice person, in person, but he is a self described Buchanite Paleocon with a strong isolationist streak, and a way of blaming everything on Israel that I really can't stand. he buys into the idea that the USA is imperialistic, or trending that way. And I may be exaggerating slightly based on how irritated I get. I think any isolationist thinking is inherently dangerous, and I think blaming Isareal is simple minded and short sighted. I also believe that we live in a world where if we ever stop being the most powerful nation, we AND the world will suffer for it.

Now Ken is articulate, and largely polite. I sure I've jumped down his throat a time or two when it wasn't really warranted, but he absolutely hits three of my major hot buttons, and y'know, I just can't let it ride.

I spent to much time reading about the history of Israel to see them as anything but a besieged people. Eve US support for them isn't what a lot of people think it is. Do you know the US actually oppossed the UN partition plan because they knew the Arab League wouldn't accept it?

Ben Franklin used the term 'empire' to describe the USA, in it's earliest days. His usage of the term was no more meant to be insulting than to say someone has built a small empire of 'quickiemarts'. It could mean, and did mean to our founders, a nation which is strong, and enduring, and is of historical importance.

Our founders never wrote into the Constitution that we should ever subordinate the good of our own nation to that of any other. So we don't. Where our people go in good faith, they should be safe. Where they trade in good faith, thier dealings should be upheld. Where it is beneficial to us to have a presence, we should pursue the goal of establishing such a presence. We do not pursue an active plan of conquest. We do take action to protect our interests, and this is something I'm sure or Founders would approve of.

Isolationism is putting ourselves in a cage, where we will sit until we are too weak to escape. While we grow weak, the creatures roaming free become big and strong, and soon our cage isn't even a defense for us. In the age of jets, missiles, nukes, and global propaganda, isolationism is a mammoth stuck in deep tar. It's death in progress. I won't see that kind of thing promoted as wisdom.

So I disagree with Ken nearly every time he comments, and I manage to see it. He must pretty much hate me, and I guess that's how its going to have to be. I don't expect either of us to change opinions. USA, all the way! That isn't just a T-shirt slogan for me. It is the sum of my politics in one line. Friends of the USA are my friends. What we give the world is priceless. Quite often it's pearls before swine, especially in countries where free speech is against their religion. Our best product is our way of life.

And people want it, even if their handlers don't.

USA, all the way!

Gunbattle Inside Iran

Conflicting reports on fighting inside of Iran.

Gateway Pundit:

Aryamehr, a terrific Iranian blogger who frequently reports news and video from inside the regime is reporting news of an armed struggle by the Lor, Bakhtiari and Qashqai tribes in Iran against the regime.

The Iranian government paints a far different picture:

Six police officers and four volunteers were martyred and 13 wounded in a violent clash with drug traffickers in the city of Semirom, Isfahan province.
Police Commander of Semirom, identified by his surname Mokhtari, told ISNA that four drug smugglers were also killed in the 18-hour gun-battle.

The sad fact is, each side would have good reasons to concoct falsehoods. Of course, the Iranian government would cover up a battle with anti-government forces. However, if it was a battle with drug smugglers, the resistance group could be using the incident for propaganda purposes.

Maybe Garduneh Mehr will have some inside info for us.

In the meantime, I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's the mullahs who are lying. 28 years of distrust can't be wiped out with one news story.

1 We can dream. That's probably all it is. Can't see any group having the power and arms to upset Iran without popular support. The mad mullahs will do anything to maintain control. Even slaughtering their own countrymen. If revolution is a popular thing who are the thousands screaming death to America at every demonstration? But we can hope.

Posted by: greyrooster at February 02, 2007 11:41 PM (ERHpA)

2 Vinnie,
I'm looking into this myself.
But I did hear of another incident near the city of Za'hedan in the south east part of Iran close to Pakistan and Afghanistan borders in which 4 agents of the regime were killed. Given the location of Za'hedan, it may have in fact been a clash between drug-traffickers and border patrol.

However, the Isfahan incident is not likely to be drug related since it's said to have involved the Basiji (auxiliaries to the IRGC). Regular crimes like drug-trafficking are handled by the regular police possibly with the backing of the regular army. Also the fighting was spread over a fairly large area, whereas drug busts are usually localized.
I'll try and get some first hand info tomorrow.

Iranians Responsible for Murder of U.S. Soldiers in Karbala?

Bill Roggio reports that Iranian trained forces may have been behind a recent attack in Karbala in which 4 soldiers were captured and then later murdured.

The Fourth Rail:

Based on the sophisticated nature of the raid, as well as the response, or cryptic non-responses, from multiple military and intelligence sources, this raid appears to have been directed and executed by the Qods Force branch of the Iranian Republican Guard Corps....
Hezbollah's Imad Mugniyah executed a similar attack against Israeli forces on the Lebanese border, which initiated the Hezbollah-Israeli war during the summer of 2006.....
Mahawil [ed: where the bodies of the four soldiers were found] is in Babil province, about 27 miles directly west of Karbala. While it is impossible to prove, the attackers may have been making a bee-line towards the Iranian border....
IF it is confirmed that Iran's Qods Force was responsible, the news that the United States has authorized the death or captured of Iranian agents inside Iraq, as well as in Afghanistan and Lebanon makes all the more sense.

Finally, Iran Is Being Treated Like The Enemy That They Are

I've been hearing about this all day (so have you, probably), and it still seems almost too good to be true.

WASHINGTON â€” President Bush has authorized U.S. forces in Iraq to take whatever actions are necessary to counter Iranian agents deemed a threat to American troops or the public at large, the White House said Friday.
The aggressive new policy came in response to intelligence that Iran is supporting terrorists inside Iraq and is providing bombs â€” known as improvised explosive devices â€” and other equipment to anti-U.S. insurgents.

All I can say is... kick them in the nuts.

bullcrap. Iran is playing both ends against the middle. The U.S. military has intercepted at least one large
shipment of high explosives, smuggled into Iraq from Iran. The shipment contained dozens of
"shaped charges" manufactured in Iran. These shaped charges are far more lethal than mere IEDs because theyâ€™re designed to concentrate and direct a more
powerful blast into a small area. They are not home-made devices that just blow up Hummer, they are real military devices designed to blow up APCs and tanks.

Yes, there are Iranian kids dying of hunger in Sistan & Baluchistan provinces and the Arab-loving Arab-worshipping Islamic-Arabic regime of Iran yearly steals billions of dollars of the wealth of Iran to stuff it into the packets of Lebanese dogs and Palestinian paraistes.

Iranian Consulate Raided in Iraq, 5 Detained

U.S. forces raided an Iranian consulate in the Kurdish north. My understanding is that the Kurds know how to deal with insurgents. They are merciless. Which is why you rarely hear of terrorist incidents in areas controlled by the Kurds.

Iranian News Agency:

In other developments, US forces raided the Iranian consulate in the Iraqi northern city of Erbil, arrested its five staff members and confiscated computers and documents early Thursday morning.

The U.S. says it was 6 detained. MNF Iraq:

Coalition forces conducted routine security operations in northern Iraq and took six individuals into custody suspected of being closely tied to activities targeting Iraqi and Coalition forces on Jan. 11.
This operation was part of an ongoing effort by Coalition forces targeting individuals involved in activities aimed at the killing of Iraqi citizens and Coalition forces.

WaPo:

A man who lives next to the consulate, Sardar Hassan Mohammed, 34, said he saw what he believed to be U.S. forces surrounding the building with their vehicles before entering it. Mohammed said at least five people were taken.
An official with the Kurdish Democratic Party, who declined to give his name, said the U.S. troops confiscated belongings inside the consulate in addition to arresting people inside.

Which brings us back to a quesion I asked long ago: why don't we allow our Kurdish allies to declare independence? The only thing stopping them is us. And the only thing stopping us is our allegiance to a Cold War ally, Turkey. Note to State Department: the Cold War is over.

Hat tip to Dan Riehl for first noticing this and connects the action to last night's declaration that no country will be immune if it helps the insurgency.

Update: Related from Pamela at Atlas Shrugs who notes this NY Sun video: Iran's Secret Plan For Mayhem in Iraq.

UPDATE II: Dan Riehl updates his original post with this from the CBC. Yeah, I know it's the CBC--which makes it a 50/50 shot of being true:

An Iraqi general, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the details had not been released, said a mainly Kurdish force from one of the northern Iraqi brigades would be sent into Sadr City, the Shiite slum in northeast Baghdad that is headquarters of the Mahdi Army.
The general said Kurds, who are Sunni but not Arab, were being used against the Shiite Mahdi Army to overcome the predicted refusal by soldiers from other Iraqi units to fight fellow Shiites. An estimated 80 per cent of the Iraqi army is Shiite.

If true, what was I saying about how the Kurds treat insurgents?

5 "why don't we allow our Kurdish allies to declare independence?"

Because that would create problems for Turkey, Iran, and Syria. When we (the Western Allies) redrew the map of the old Ottoman Empire after World War I we didn't take cultural identities into account. If we had, there would have been a "Kurdistan" that included the Kurdish regions of Iran, Syria, Iran and Turkey into one country. Basically we simply drew lines on a map and ignored the cultural identities on the ground. Had the map been drawn to nationalize cultural "nations", the region would probably be a lot more stable.

The same thing happened in the drawing of the map in the region of Afghanistan and region of what was then India and now known as Pakistan. Cultural areas straddle borders created by people with pencils and a map.

If the Iraqi Kurds became independent, the Kurdish regions of Iran, Turkey and Syria would want to join it and there would be no end to the fighting for generations. Then the Azeris in Iran would want *their* own country or to join Azerbaijan and then you risk having a map of the entire region redrawn according to cultural identity ... which if you ask me is how we should have done it to begin with.

Posted by: crosspatch at January 11, 2007 03:15 PM (pxZRL)

6 Crotchpatch:

The Kurds in Iran, turkey and syria already want independence. They have ever since the arbitrary borders were established. Ever hear of the PKK?

The same goes for the Azeris. We should have taken the land and shipped the islamopithecines off to Antarctica to begin with.

7 The Kurds are much frienlier with the Iranians than with their southern Arab c0-citizens. Durring the Iraq Iran War the Kurds allied themselves with the Iraians. This is the reason that Saddam (who was our friend at that time) gassed them.
The Kurds know that the USA will leave, their Iranian neighbors will always be there. This is part of the reason that the Kurds are angry about our raid.

8 John Lyin:

The Kurds aren't angry at America, you lying sack of shit. The Kurds were allies of the Iranians against Saddam like America was an ally of Stalin against Hitler. They were temporary alliances of convenience, dipshit.

Saddam was never a "friend" for America. He was exploited and tossed aside.

Save it for the other mental defectives.

Kidnapped Security Contractors Alive

McClatchy Newspapers has been shown a Video of the five men as proof they are alive.

Kansas City Star: BAGHDAD, Iraq | Four American security contractors â€” including an area man â€” and an Austrian co-worker kidnapped in southern Iraq six weeks ago appear in a videotape.
The area man identifies himself as John Young, 44, of Kansas City. Relatives reached Wednesday by The Kansas City Star declined comment.
There is no way to tell when the video was filmed.
The footage, which hasnâ€™t been made public, is the first proof that all five survived their abductions Nov. 16 in an ambush in the town of Safwan.
The clip was shown Tuesday night to McClatchy Newspapers in Baghdad on condition that the providerâ€™s name and other identifying details be withheld for security reasons.
The provider said the video was shot in response to a demand for proof that the men were alive before negotiations for their release could begin.
The provider was confident the men were still living and remained in the hands of a little-known Shiite Muslim militant group that called itself the â€œMujahedeen of Jerusalem Company.â€

Audio of the tape is here.

Jawa Report post from the confusion immediately following their disappearance.

Shortly after they were taken a group calling itself The Islamic Mujahedeen Battalion claimed to have taken the men. They made the claim in a video that was broadcast on Iranian state television.

Whatever the name, Iran seems to be involved with this incident. A source pointed out to me that he thought the men would be killed. I disagreed and thought that if Iran was involved they would not throw away a bargaining chip. They would hold the men.

Well it looks like we are also holding a few chips of our own. Can you say letâ€™s make a deal. These five for your two and none can return to Iraq. Fair enough Mookie?

Deal or no deal we pray for their safe and speedy return and for strength for their families at this most difficult of times.

Hat Tip: George.

Iran Votes Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Candidates Lose

Heh, Apparently Iran's Voters are none to happy with his abandonment of his platform t Mahmoud's abandonment of his platform and puppet dance fotr the Ayatollahs.

The Guardian:The Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, faced electoral embarrassment today after the apparent failure of his supporters to win control of key local councils and block the political comeback of his most powerful opponent.
Early results from last Friday's election suggested that his Sweet Scent of Service coalition had won just three out of 15 seats on the symbolically important Tehran city council, foiling Mr Ahmadinejad's plan to oust the mayor and replace him with an ally.

Heh, welcome to Democracy. The people have spoken and you did even worse than the Republicans in the US.

I'd step down now, before the Iranian people hang you from a crane.

Iran Planning, "Final Soluton"

Not a surprise really, I've read it and was speechless.

Via Mermi:On December 14, 2006 the Iranian news agency IRNA reported, in English, that participants in the Iranian Holocaust Denial conference, dubbed "Holocaust: A Global Vision," had announced the establishment of a "world foundation for Holocaust studies" and unanimously appointed Presidential Advisor Mohammad-Ali Ramin as its secretary-general.
According to IRNA, Ramin said that "one of the plans of the foundation is to assign a committee to find out the truth about the holocaust [sic], and noted that its main office will be in Tehran, and that it "will eventually be transferred to Berlin, once proper grounds are prepared."

Let me translate, "once proper grounds are prepared" for you. That's, "Once the Islamists control Germany".

But what could possible be the point of such a study?

"The Resolution of the Holocaust Issue Will End in the Destruction of Israel"
"Ramin (Presidential Advisor Mohammad-Ali Ramin as secretary-general of World Foundation for Holocaust Studies) claimed that the Holocaust was the main reason why Palestine was occupied, while Israel was the main cause of crises and catastrophe in the Middle East. 'So long as Israel exists in the region,' he said, 'there will never be peace and security in the Middle East. So the resolution of the Holocaust issue will end in the destruction of Israel.'

So, you guys at The Hauge hear that?

What more proof is needed of his intentions? He says this nearly daily what he plans not just for the Joooooos, but for the rest of the infidel world.

Send in top notch assasins, kill him in his bed. Let the Muslim world it was done by American killers. Make an example of him and the rest of the "brave lions of Allah" will shit their pants wondering if they are next. Let them know they are not safe no matter who they are or where they are.

Its time to stop playing PC. Its getting the West killed slowly. Let the Islamicidiots die for a change.

The politicians in America are playing games with all our lives just so they can keep a good public image and keep their polls up.

Lord help us.

We need a Teddy Roosevelt or a Ronald Reagan. Bush just doesnt have the neve to play hard ball with the Muslims.

5 You're an idiot. When Iranian leaders say they want an end to the "Zionist Regime", it is always translated as "they want Israel wiped off the map" or "they want Israel destroyed". Israel is not the same thing as the "Zionist regime" so translating it as such is extremely deceptive. When Iran says they want an end to "Zionist regime", they mean they want an end to the Zionist control of the native Israelis' land. It would be like saying you want an end to white rule in South Africa.

Zionism in Israel = white rule in South Africa during apartheid.

Anyway.

Did you know that:

Native Israelis (Palestinians) make up the largest refugee population in the world?

Israel's government prevents 6 million native Israeli (Palestinians) refugees from returning to their homes in order to keep their country Jewish?

A white Jew from New York can move to Israel, but a native Israeli (Palestinians) in a refugee camp in the West Bank can't return to his home in Israel?

60% of donations to the Republican party come from Jewish groups?

Google: Mearsheimer Israel lobby

This will show you the groundbreaking paper written by Harvaard dean Mearsheimer about the Israel lobby's influence in America.

Posted by: Bob at December 16, 2006 04:12 PM (W+g8u)

6 It turns out that Israeli-linked think tanks in the US like JINSA were instrumental in creating a "war against radical Islam" paradigm and selling it to the people through the White House and media.

Do a little googling. Look up the paper by the Harvard dean on the Israel lobby. Don't be such naive sheep. Just dig a little bit.

7 Iranian policy towards Israel:

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei, rejecting any attack on Israel, called for a referendum in Palestine:

We hold a fair and logical stance on the issue of Palestine. Several decades ago, Egyptian statesman Gamal Abdel Nasser, who was the most popular Arab personality, stated in his slogans that the Egyptians would throw the Jewish usurpers of Palestine into the sea. Some years later, Saddam Hussein, the most hated Arab figure, said that he would put half of the Palestinian land on fire. But we would not approve of either of these two remarks. We believe, according to our Islamic principles, that neither throwing the Jews into the sea nor putting the Palestinian land on fire is logical and reasonable. Our position is that the Palestinian people should regain their rights. Palestine belongs to Palestinians, and the fate of Palestine should also be determined by the Palestinian people. The issue of Palestine is a criterion for judging how truthful those claiming to support democracy and human rights are in their claims. The Islamic Republic of Iran has presented a fair and logical solution to this issue. We have suggested that all native Palestinians, whether they are Muslims, Christians or Jews, should be allowed to take part in a general referendum before the eyes of the world and decide on a Palestinian government. Any government that is the result of this referendum will be a legitimate government.

Iran has repeatedly stated that they would NEVER violate the UN charter (which prohibits attacks on other member states) and attack Israel.

Alas, a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

9 You think white Europeans like Prime Minister Olmert are "native Israelis"? Listen up whiteboy, Israelis and all middle eastern countries are filled with dark skinned people. The native Israelis, and Jesus for that matter, are/were darker skinned people.

11 It is at times like this that I become partial to nuking Mecca, Medina and Ryadh with or without prior warning.
It's Islam that is the primary cause of much if not most of the suffering in this world.
It is Islam that deserves to be subjected to the final solution.
Someday, this filthy Arab-worshipping regime of Iran will be overthrown; on that they the likes of AhmadiNezhad and M.A. Ramin will find themselves subjected to "die Endloesung" the final solution.

12 Boy, sounds like Bob is about to pop a vessel! I especially liked the "listen up whiteboy" comment.. Makes me wish the late Sam Kinison was around to get in his face and explain things to him.

Look, Bob-O - this is the way I see it. The Holy Bible is the basis for both the Jewish (Old Testament) and Christian (New Testament) faiths. This country, MY country, was founded on Judeo-Christian values, as was Israel. God gave the land of Israel to his chosen people, and the so-called palestinians are adherants of some johnny-come-lately-moon-god-worshipping tyrant that hasn't contributed shit to civilization since raping his first child in the 7th century.

Fuck off, and please move to Iran just as soon as you possibly can. Enjoy your freedom and liberty there.

15 Whoever told bob that "palestinians" were "native Israelis" was lying to him. They are displaced Arabs. As I understand it, they were in Jordan, Egypt and other nations, kicked out of those nations and the Israelis took them in. Now, look what it has gotten them. The Jews are more native to Israel than the so called "palestinians".

Posted by: RepJ at December 16, 2006 06:31 PM (XXEg4)

16 Absolutely, RepJ... in fact, the Romans kicked the "paleo's" out of their villages because they were the scum of society back then. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

17 The Palestinians are the native Israelis. Do you contest this? Are you contesting their very identity?

Mohammed (AKA "Bob),

I absolutely contest it, silly boy. The term "Israeli" applies citizens of Israel. That happens to include both Jew and Arab.

As far as the "palestinian" identity, it is a false one. It was manufactured after the 1967 war to create a sense of nationalism where previously there had never been one. Previous to that no Arab called himself "palestinian". Palestinian Arabs have always been Jordanians. Ever heard of the "west bank"? Guess what's on the EAST bank? You got it, Jordan!

Posted by: Jesuslad Carlos at December 16, 2006 07:56 PM (8e/V4)

One day the Israelis may put their own final solution to the Iranian problem into reality. Iranians must be the stupidest people in the world to believe Israeli won't go down swinging their nuclear bat. You can only push a people so far.

the moron of the evening. Getting all hung up on race is soooo 20th
century Bobaknob. Fuck your Palestinians. They have spit on every peace
proposal since the 1940s. You want to know why they are the largest so
called refugee population. Because they sit around and whine like
little girls while getting fed by the UN and fucking to make new
suicide bombers. Stolen land you say? When are your kind going to give
back Turkey and Hagia Sophia to the Greek speaking Orthodox? Only a
child thinks that every peace of land your Muslimes get is theirs
forever and whatever they lose is theirs forever.

20 Boob:

Psuedostinians are a manufactured ethnicity. They don't speak Palestinian, they don't have a Palestinian culture, and they cant even pronounce "Palestinian."

Arabs are White. Iranians are White. Get over it. Arabs and Iranians come in many different shades, from pale to swarthy.

Zionism is the belief that Jews should have a homeland. The land of Israel is that homeland, and has been for millennia.

None of this has anything to do with Iran's oft stated desire to destroy Israel. Your muslim propaganda about Israel is old, tired, and retarded.

Posted by: Jeff Bargholz at December 16, 2006 09:52 PM (bLPT+)

21 It was more like 50 - 60 million total that died during WWII, with a rough estimate of 6 million Jews dying in the gas chambers, etc. I have been to Auschwitz (in 1996) and I have been in the gas chambers and have seen the ovens, yes you Iranians, it is real, it did happen. The 20th century has thus far been the bloodiest in all history of mankind. America cannot fight a religion; we fight terrorists, nations, etc. that attack us or our intrests overseas. When our military kills a muslim or attacks a muslim country, the other muslims interpret that as an attack against Islam, which then allows them to declare jihad against us. Islam hates us because we stand with Israel, and they hate Israel because of the Lord Jesus Christ. Islam is a tool of satan to oppose Israel. If satan can destroy Israel, then the word of God (the Bible) will fall to the ground. Without Israel, Bible prophecy will not come to pass. If one word of prophecy does not come to pass, then satan has won. Israel was the womb of the Messiah, hence Hamen, Herod, and Hitler trying to destroy all Jews. Because Israel rejected Jesus as Messiah, they have brought all this trouble on themselves. The Bible tells us that Israel will be made a "cup of trembling in the hands of all nations" (Zechariah 12.2). And so it is today. But we need to remember the prophecy from the Lord giving to Abraham in Genesis 12.3 saying "I will bless them that bless thee and curse them that curse thee". As long as we stand with Israel, we will make it. Islam claims to have Abraham as their father, but their father is satan. I wonder, if allah is so great, why don't the muslims attack everyone and defeat them? It is intresting to study the koran and the hadith to find that allah did not command mohammed to attack until he (mohammed) was strong enough to defeat others, whereas the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob called the children of Israel to fight peoples that were much greater and mightier than them, the Lord God defeating them completly. No, allah is not a god to be feared by any one, because he is a god of man's own making. I encourage every one to study the making and evolution of Islam, I think you will all be surprised. Hamen, Herod, and Hitler were not able to wipe the Jews off the map, and neither will Islam, Iran or Duke or anyone else for that matter. The anti-christ will make his debut to bring peace in the middle east, and he will come close to destroying Israel, but will not succeed; the second coming of Christ will stop him. Whose side will you be on?

And yes, to stop Islam in one generation we need to do three things:
1. Blow up Mecca and the Kabah
2. Blow up Medina
3. Blow up the dome of the rock mosque

Muslims will not be able to complete the five pillars of faith, so no entrance into paradise except through dying in Jihad. But then, the muslims will realize that allah is not as powerful as he is purported to be (he could not stop us from blowing up those so called "holy sites").

Actually, it is the continuous beheadings, riots, plane bombings, flag burnings, stone throwings, rapes, suicide bombings and other bullying violent muslim practices that create the paradigm.

23 On the first hand, Bob's points are regurgitated illogical pap. The truth is easy to see through your deceptions by using logic. Unfortunately logic is not simple. Logical ability is a weak spot in many people, their prejudice and other emotions cloud it.

On the other hand, Bob, if your right... so the fuck what? What are you going to do about it? NOTHING. Especially since you posted on this blog. The Mossad now knows everything about your bitch-ass. You will probably be disappeared in the next few days by the CIA/Mossad. In fact, if you don't get disappeared by them, it renders every word of your posts invalid. You better hope your wrong.

Posted by: QC at December 17, 2006 12:56 PM (5o9WG)

24 Hey, guys, I think Bob must not be an American, adult person, to try such a lame argument. He's probably a kid who got worked up by his biased math teacher, or something. He came out guns blazing, missing anything resembling a real target, and precious few people here would miss the truck sized holes in his presentation.

His race/color based arguement is one of the 'new' ones against Jews. Never mind how the ruling family of Jordan looks, or the pigmentation of the average Lebanese person. Forget the colors the ancient Egyptians painted themselves in, in their Heiroglyphics.

If your listening Bob, I'm asking, what color is Saddam, and is he a middle eastern Arab? Does a Norwegian turn a little brown if he spends a few years in the Saharah? Can you figure it out?

And that is just for starters.

I say pity him. When he learns what 'Israel' means, and that Israel IS the Jewish nation, and that no other Israel is even possible, he won't use the same weak material. He may even realize what is really going on in the world.

Oh, and Bob, the color of Jesus' skin only comes up when people with an agenda bring it up. Full spectrum light is made of all existing colors, and God created light, so I don't think he prefers one over the other. Do you?

USA, all the way!

Posted by: Michael Weaver at December 18, 2006 06:18 AM (2OHpj)

25 Michael Weaver, actually Israel is all of the tribes of Israel, all of the children of the Lord, not just the tribe of Judah. Israel is a multitude spread across the earth, and promised to be regathered.

26 Sorry QC, I was trying to use a less politically charged word than Israel, and I guess I goofed. I knew that stuff, I just thought re-using Israel on this thread would be confusing, what with Bob's usage of it. Thanks for the clarification though. It never hurts.

Ahmadinejad Incitement To Genocide Complaint

A panel led by US ambassador to the UN John bolton will present evidence at The Hague in an attempt to bring a charge of "Incitement to Genocide" against the Iranian president.

Via The Guardian : The outgoing US ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, is backing a call for the president of Iran to be charged with inciting genocide because of his speeches advocating the destruction of the state of Israel......Mr Bolton will be joined in tomorrow's launch of the legal action against Mr Ahmadinejad by a Harvard law professor, Alan Dershowitz, and the former Israeli ambassador to the UN, Dore Gold, together with experts from the US, Canada and Israel. A suit will be lodged with the international court of justice at The Hague, which will decide whether to hear the action. The panel said the Iranian president was guilty of inciting genocide "by making numerous threats against the United States, calling for the destruction of Israel and instigating discrimination against Christians and Jews". His words violate a 1948 UN genocide convention, to which Iran is a signatory, they said.

Death To The Dictator

Update: OK FOXNEWS you owe me 20 bucks for the title! Wait a minute, they have money, 20 thousand bucks for the title. ;)

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was heckled during a speech at Tehran University.

Via Breitbart: A small number of students shouted 'death to the dictator' and smashed cameras of state television...
.... Ahmadinejad responded by describing those students chanting the slogans as an "oppressive" minority.
"A small number of people who claim there is oppression are creating oppression and do not let the majority hear (my) words," he said.

That's funny oppression is when you can't hear the dictator. Reports that the group was shouted down by chants of, "We support Short Stuff!" were incorrect. Ahmadinejad's followers were actually chanting, "Death To America!"
