Iranian Commander: ‘We Have Infiltrated America and the UK’
According to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s Fars News Agency, on Tuesday night — during a gathering of high-ranking members of the IRGC command and the Basij militia — Brigadier General Mohammad-Reza Naghdi announced:
Today we are in a full-scale war with our enemies. During the last 32 years, the enemy has gone from pillar to post and from one angle to another in order to find a way to bring us down. But the enemy has been hit hard and the proof of that is in the collapse of the Western block, the humiliation of the banking and investment sector, the awakening of our various nations, the spread of the religion of God, and people distancing themselves from the devil-worshipping elitists. This is a sign of our populist progress.
Naghdi, the commander of the Basij militia, added:
You all have managed to infiltrate into the heart of the enemy’s various nests to the point where even in the streets of New York, Ashura is known as Imam Hossein Day and it is observed by pious self-mortification and prayer; in London, the month of Muharram and the passing of Fatimah are observed. This is what it means to penetrate into the enemy camp. Today, our enemy is at the front line of a confrontation with us.
…
The enemy hides behind many masks, but you all have managed to expose their conspiracies in order to expose their real character. Once upon a time the United States was thought of as the standard-bearer of human rights and liberty, but the truth came out and all was revealed. Now as a result of our strength, resistance, courage, and sacrifice, everyone knows that the U.S. is nothing more than a rogue criminal enterprise.
…
Today the enemy has put up all these fronts so that they can fight our people, but they have lost miserably as we have arrived at their doorstep. When they create figures, who are behind various conspiracies and the organization of all kinds of coups, that person ends up being directly linked to their vice president and secretary of state. Ultimately they have been discredited and shown for their incompetence. One can now clearly see who is really responsible for these plots and treachery. Our people, however, are aware and enlightened and at this point in time, the United States and the evil British, who are always looking to bluff us, will be outwitted until the point where they no longer have any cards to play.
Naghdi, born in Iraq, was a member of Iranian Quds forces involved in international terrorism before he was appointed in 2009 by Ayatollah Khamenei as commander of the Basij. He has previously threatened the assassination of American generals in retaliation for the killing of the Iranian nuclear scientists.
‘Fess up folks, because of the current administration, and past amdinistrations I must add, the United States as we once knew it, is gone. It’s over folks. Best to realize that and get on with what ever these that are against the US brings our way. Because, the PC croud and all those in support of these folks will NEVER allow the truth to be told of who these peoele really are. Nope, it’s over. It turns my heart to say so but, it’s a done deal. We’re done for. Soon, we’ll experience what so many in other parts of the world already know, what it’s like to be a 3rd world nation.
Somehow I have a lot more faith in America than you have. Prior to Dec.7,1942 America was an isolationist nation. It took Pearl Harbor to wake us up. That’s our nature. We’ve already had 9-11 which didn’t seem to wake everyone up. Much of America is getting sick of this PC bullsh*t we’ve been forced to swallow. There is a backlash starting. The Tea Party experience is an example. Keep your eyes open on the next national election. If Obama is kicked out, I am right. If he is voted back in, I am wrong and G-d help this nation. In the mean time keep your chin up, speak out, vote and keep your powder dry.
There’s a very simple reason for this decline but people are too frightened to face up to it. The truth is this – America’s far more interested in continuing the politically correct fight against allegedly racist White Americans than it is in fighting back against Arab and Muslim terrorists. There is one evil group in American society as far as the media, academia and the federal bureaucracy are concerned and that’s white people. Arab Muslims obviously aren’t American Whites so they fit into the protected class of “Victims of White American Hegemony” and, therefore, they are off limits while 6-year-olds and 80-year-old white nuns get strip searched at the airport. This is the insanity that weak, cowardly, submissive White America has accepted.
I’ve never been interested in being a KKK nut or anything of that sort but I’m doing some major re-evaluating. At some point, Whites in America are going to have to face up to the blindingly obvious fact that Whites are targeted in America. We are denied scholarships, university admissions, job opportunities and OUR VOICE in being allowed to be proud of who we are where others are pushed forward all the time simply for being non-white.
America is weakened because its majority and its historically strongest, most productive population is hated, attacked and cowed by the ruling media, academia, political powers and bureaucracies who are almost entirely anti-white.
That’s a defeatist attitude America has been through worse and survived.
NO doubt that this report is accurate and even errs on the side of caution.
I have known for years that Hizbullahs agents-Iran’s proxy arm-are burrowed DEEP within US cities-large and small.They are concentrated alongside I-95,making it easier for them to escape/run operations along the main artery going from the east to the south, hooking up at all points in between.Don’t ask how I know this-I just do.
Moreover, the Islamic jihad poison that has become a focal point at US college campuses-infecting the next generation-has been brewing since the MSA has been allowed to operate as a ‘religious student group’, sort of like Hillel and Christian groups.As IF…..
This Muslim Brotherhood cancer, Islamist stealth jihad has been one of their greatest successes.Not only has it shored up jihad in the minds of practicing Muslims, but it has allowed the scourge of da’wa(‘outreach’) to infect the campus writ large.
IF the average American wants to start somewhere in fighting back, I suggest you start by learning more about the MSA(Muslim Student Association) its leadership and its infectious presence over US youth.Most Americans are at one time or another associated with the college experience.Campaigns to out their plans is a good place to start.
Consider:MIT’s MSA leader, Ms Siddiqui, was one of AlQaeda’s foot soldiers in the 9/11/01 mass terror attack. She plotted her jihad right under the noses of faculty and administrators and no one was the wiser.Siddiqui is in jail, but there are SCORES of MSA leaders and members ready to take her place.
Fellow Americans, time is not on your side!!Pay attention to this article…..
You are absolutely right about the need to inform and fight – and the place to start is with David Horowitz and his Freedom Center which is carrying the fight openly onto college campuses all across America. Check out frontpagemag.com. Every American who is seriously concerned about this very real threat of Islam infiltration of our spciety should be following him.
Stuart,you are indeed correct.
I am very familiar with Horowitz’s herculean efforts.In fact, I have been a contributor to Frontpage with Lee Kaplan, specifically relating to the ISM and its terror offshoots.They operate as US based Islamic front groups under non-profit status, enjoying tax free exemptions on the backs of US taxpayers!
The lunatics are running the asylum….
Adina, you are dead on about the student religious aspects. I have written to my congressmen and senators to pass a little information to Peter King of New York who is currently holding the congressional hearings on Islamic violence and asked them to seriously look into the privately funded wahhabi schools here in America, as an avenue of developement and incursion into our society. I still cannot believe, with all of the evidence that has been brought forth, that America will not awaken to the threat that is poised to completely disintegrate the efforts that so many have died(and are still dying)for here and in other countries, and that we here have no idea what it is like to be at the forefront of living with an assault on your very existence. I will continue to pray for Israel and the IDF and the end of terrorism the world over. May the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob be with you and yours, Kenneth Williams, U.S.A
In Iran we call him Hezbollah commander not Iranian commander.
Let us pray that there are enough moral and righteous men and women in the CIA and/or the FBI who will continue to expose the communist/socialist treachery within our own government and educational institutions as well as any and all islamic organizations.
It is unfortunate but Americans do not care what happens as long as they get their check and have food…the just don’t care.
When will they care? When they’re having martial law imposed and wondering what the hell happened.. Our young people expect everything handed to them, and mom and dad do just that. college students play at being liberals because they have not had to account for anything in their lives….when they do, it may be too late.
Oh, I agree.
About everything.
And the West isn’t concerned about these nutballs having a nuclear weapon? Because, if Obama AND the other other western leaders wanted to do something about it, they would. But all we get are “protests” at the United Nations or at the IAEA. Oooooo, that should have the Iranians “shaking” in their sandals. Obama is NOT serious about doing anything with Iran. He lost his greatest opportunity for regime change in Iran after the 2009 “elections” and he blew it. Now he and the rest of the world have to live with those consequences. Hopefully, those consequences will not destroy the world in the next year or so. But it certainly will destroy the Middle East.
Just fill in a comment that is the most friendly one to your point of view imaginable.
Why don’t you just write your own comments section?
“as we have arrived at their doorstep.”
The enemy (evil) always exposes its intentions…and there it is in plain sight. Exactly where they have arrived and by which means and on which doorstep/s is NOT all that hard to figure out.
Try the unexpected way – by water?
Listening to their Bagdad Bobs is pretty funny. While I don’t doubt for a second that they have infiltrated many areas of our society, especially schools, state governments, and many social societies, they really do forget that we are the people of the Constitution. We are born to freedom and will not give it up easily. I read somewhere that the 8th largest army in the world went into the woods of Wisconsin(?) and had a live fire exercise and nobody was injured. Imagine how you’d scale Texas’ hunting season! Those Iranian whistlers wouldn’t survive a day if their people were as free.
Another successful hunt here in Michigan. Report just in 656,000 armed hunters brought in 400,000 plus deer.
4 million NRA members.
35% of all small arms in the world (including all armies) are in the hands of American citizens. (If politicians ever go for the guns you know where we are headed).
Awkwardly Paraphrased from Thomas Jefferson: Citizens should bear arms for the day that tyrants attempt to take power from the people
If the Iranians, a third world country with oil, going nuclear believe that they and their friends can take on the West and win I wish them all kinds of luck. Until a couple of decades ago Tehran was the largest city in the world without a sewer system. Without oil they would be grazing goats and weaving more rugs than usual (with all due respect to the freedom wished for by the average Iranian citizen)
I am not taking them lightly, but if they are this foolish they will be in for a shock, unfortunate for the world, but a shock. Let’s hope they are more talk than stupid.
I hear psychotic babbling. I don’t know what New York he’s talking about but I’d hazzard a guess that you can find somebody, maybe even a dozen people who celebrate Iman Hossein day. Of course, you can find millions who celebrate Saint Patrick’s day, and most of them aren’t even Irish.
He’s right about one thing – Iran is at war. As soon as we notice, the whole stinking place is burnt toast.
Good luck with the jihad here
We will be waiting for you to start
None will be left to return to iran
When we are done here we will be coming for you
I just looked it up: Total Hunting Licenses Sold in TX (License Year 2007) was 1,109,667.

That’s a lot of rifles, shotguns, and archers, owned by able bodied men and women who know how to use them. Many of us own more than one,,, personally, I favor the Rem .223, .25’06, .270, .30-30, 7mm Rem Mag, & the ever faithful .30’06. Pistols in every cal from .22LR up to Colt .45 ACP also reside in my gun safe. I’m not a gun nut, I’m just a senior citizen who has collected and/or inherited a lot of guns over the past 50 years. I also know how to define “gun control”,,, that is; “how steady you hold the gun when you aim it”.
Islamic Jihadists do not frighten us, I know what will happen when they roll down my little suburban street in south Texas; me, and my neighbors, will be increasing our city water bill by flushing their blood down the storm sewers with a garden hose 30 minutes after they strike.
Hey Raghead! we are waiting for you,,, please, give it a try,,, we need a little excitement between hunting seasons.
jbtx-here’s a thought…..maybe some IDF trained guys who are looking for some R & R in the States will pop on down and help when the jihad hits the fan-and it will.Offering them room and board would be an added bonus.(Soldiers aren’t paid too well and could use the extra incentive)
After all, they have alot of experience in the field of hunting Islamists!!
I have 2 spare bedrooms I’d happily rent out cheap. Since I have been a warrior myself, I like the warrior type,,, IDF guys would be welcome at my table. Who knows, I might even be able to teach them something about hunting Texas style. “Shoot, Shovel, and Shut Up”
jbtx-and you don’t even have to teach them -lock and load!
They are good at what they do.I know.Some of my nearest and dearest are IDF trained/deployed…..
I think this Naghdi guy was pretty explicit about where we are vulnerable. They aren’t going to “roll down our streets”. They aren’t going to invade at all. If there are sleeper cells in the US, they’re concentrating on our electrical grid, our transportation systems, our computer networks. Bring these down, and America will be on its knees.
We need to be extremely vigilant, but not fearful, because we are definitely at war with extremist Islam.
Actually, Rebecca, WE are not at war with them at all, THEY, however ARE at war with us.

Why do you think the Obama put so much pressure on Israel not to attack Iran nuclear weapons facilities? Why do you think Obama pressured Israel to give back the all the territory around it? Why do you think there has been so little said about the islamic materials left in the desert on what Obama claims is “our border is more secure than any time in the last 20 years”. These homicidal maniacs are in place and all they need is a message from the peace loving mullahs and ayottahs of rock and rolla, then you will have massacres of of school children, shopping malls and movie theaters. More than likely the areas that are most threatened are those that are most accommodating in the name of political correctness and their citizens can least defend themselves.
New York, Chicago, Washington DC, LA (maybe not because the gangs are well armed) and San Francisco are safer targets for them.
I agree with the Readers who have answered with a grin.
The jihadists are between a rock and a hard place: if they hit us to “bring us to our knees”, the TRUE American People will take care of all the radicals here and abroad.
If instead they keep talking, we will have the time to wake up all the public opinion before they strike (again).
In both cases, they lose.
So, spread the info, kick the subversive administration out of the White House in 2012, and let’s call the bluff.
I am worried for Israel, instead.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we have this: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/michaelweiss/100092957/only-two-options-left-for-syria-my-interview-with-a-damascene-journalist/
For Khameini would not view the toppling of a client to be a good thing for him
and those who follow him.
“Please, wake up America!” And hurry, and wake up our increasingly disdainful, anti Israeli, Muslim accommodating allies in the West who are completely oblivious and mired up to their politically correct, multicultural noses in an even deeper Islamic swamp.
I would not be at all surprised if the Iranians are set up for sabotage just as described in this article.
We need to direct communication through the Swiss or other appropriate liason that if sleepers awaken in the US and cause the destruction described, we will treat same as an act of war and decapitate the Iranian regime. We will inflict the maximum possible damage we can on the Mullahs, their families and their economic assets. Additionally, we will arm the opposition with weapons specifically designed to target the weakest points of the regime and topple it. The good general needs to know that we will use any weapon in our arsenal to bring about the desired end of the theocracy. If he wants to meet Allah, we would be glad to make the arrangements
The Iranians are responsible for the deaths of thousands of US service members in Iraq and Afghanistan. That is a casus beli in and of it’s self. I have never understood why Bush didn’t do something about that many years ago.
I doubt the Mullahs are stupid enough to attack us directly on US soil. They have to know it would be their last move. Even Obama would have to act, the pressure to do so would be completely overwhelming. Many in his own party would suddenly find their capacity for war invigorated, much to their own shock.
“The radicals in Iran also use assets, such as non-profit organizations in America, in an effort to promote better ties with Iran. These entities warn that taking any harsh action against Iran or attacking the country will cause Iranians to then support the very regime they resent. They further spread their propaganda with repeated arguments such as: “Sanctions hurt the people of Iran, not the government”; the nuclear issue is a matter of national pride; negotiation is the best course because the Iranian regime can help with the U.S.’s problems in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
Indeed I’ve been hearing all these arguments coming from the left. The Soviets used similar methods. Here’s an old video of ex-KGB (defector) Yuri Bezmenon talking about it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHgYPDvQFU8
Rule Number one when dealing with a psychotic: do not go nuts yourself. Iran is a problem, but there are lots of problems. The key is to put them in perspective with other problems. For example, Iran is not as dangerous as climate change. One makes a lot of hot air, the other is collapsing our economy.
We can expect squealing from various Iranian leaders. Their future rice bowl is up for grabs. The only way they know to transfer power is a bullet in the head, and they have an internal power struggle ongoing, at the highest levels. Dictators currently have a lousy career path, the only next job is looking up at daisy roots. They slaughtered their younger generation in the green revolution, the first in Islam. But they have been no more successful than Syria. So they all drag out the old certain technique; blame Big Satan for every internal failure. Whip up the ignorant masses. This no longer works in the age of Facebook, and Twitter, but the old fogies do not have a clue what that means. They are of Baghdad Bob’s generation; they will claim victory with enemy tanks one block away.
The US should monitor Iran, but to consider that they are a real threat is simply nonsense. Our problem is an inept Congress.
“For example, Iran is not as dangerous as climate change. One makes a lot of hot air, the other is collapsing our economy.”
Hahahahahahahahahaha plop.
See also the recent article on Front Page:
http://frontpagemag.com/2011/06/17/symposium-sex-drugs-and-psychological-warfare/
on the covert war conducted against the U.S. by the Russians. It’s a wonder that he have any country left at all!
Thank you Reza, and thank you for your fine book. It makes a great 4th of July gift. (Hint to all us would-be Paul Reveres.) Hope you are well, well hidden and well armed.
I don’t know about infiltration of the U.S. by Iran specifically, but when the MSM’s PC/Far Left filters occasionally break down we get a whiff, now and then, of the stench of the ongoing and increasing Muslim infiltration/subversion of and terrorist attacks against us, here in the U.S.
In the last few days it was the report that the “very conservative” parents of Rep. Weiner’s Muslim wife—Secretary of State Clinton’s aide, very, very close personal friend and companion for a dozen years–have connections with the Ikhwan, the Muslim Brotherhood.
Then, this week, too, there was mention—in passing–of the fact that President Barack Hussain Obama has appointed two “devout” Muslims to positions dealing with Homeland Security.
Then, there were the recent arrest and jailing of peaceful Christian proselytizers trying to pass out literature outside a Muslim event in Dearborn, Michigan, which has one of the largest concentrations of Muslims in the U.S.—Muslims many of them from the Bint Jbail region in Southern Lebanon who are fanatical Hamas supporters—and whose Shari’a law is apparently the law of the land there as enforced by local Sherriff Haddad.
How about the Jihadi terrorist massacre carried out by Muslim Major Nidal Hasan at Ft. Hood that killed 13 solders and wounded another 30—characterized by our politically correct Department of Homeland Security as an incident of “workplace violence”–and the failed attempt at mass murder by the Muslim Times Square Bomber, which are merely the most spectacular in a rising number of such attacks nationwide. Muslim terror attacks, many of which, I believe, are blown off, under reported, reported in a way that leaves out critical pieces of information that would identify them as possible terrorist attacks—i.e. delays in reporting the name and/or religion of the attackers, which are often only released a few days after the initial story when interest in the story has somewhat died down, statements prefatory to reportage similar to that of President Obama who said “that we must not jump to conclusions,” in these cases, or statements that “it would be prejudicial to infer that this was likely a terrorist attack from the fact that the perp was a Muslim or named Muhammad,” failure to mention any “war cries” or statements or writings that the perp may have made until well after the initial story or even never—see the notebooks and drawings of John Allen Muhammad (now don’t let the name Muhammad prejudice you) and Lee Malvo, the “Beltway Snipers,” that were chocked full of writings and drawings referring to Islam, Muhammad, and the Jihad, that somehow never made into the papers until well after the trials and the execution of Muhammad—possible terrorist attacks by Muslims that are concealed, or not reported at all by our MSM.
Then, there is also the routine MSM assumption that the perp’s religion is inconsequential(unless, of course, he can be classed as a “fundamentalist Christian), and could not possibly have had anything to do with such attacks, and the almost routine descriptions of such Muslims terrorist attackers as “loners,” “nuts,” “people who had trouble in their lives,” or the foregone conclusion that such an attacks are simply “inexplicable” as were supposedly the attacks by the “Beltway Snipers.”
Then, we had the revelations about the Ikhwan’s written plans to subvert and destroy the U.S. from within, revealed at the Holy Land Foundation terrorism funding trial, which also revealed the myriad of Muslim front groups that the Ikhwan had created to bring their plans for subversion and conquest to fruition, and the fact that CAIR was an “un-indicted co-conspirator.”
Then, a few years ago there was the revelation, scarcely reported in the MSM, that a high placed Muslim civilian “senior adviser” in the office of the Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England, named Hesham Islam, had orchestrated a campaign that resulted in the Pentagon’s Joint Chiefs of Staff firing Maj. Stephen Coughlin–the only expert that our military had on Islamic Law and the Jihad–apparently based is Islam’s complaints that because Caughlin was so very effectively telling the truth, Caughlin was “prejudiced” against Muslims ( see, for instance, http://work949.wordpress.com/2011/04/19/whatever-you-do-dont-make-them-angry-they-might-do-something-violent/).
And these are just the few things that have slipped through the MSM’s filters or were so major/blatant that they could not be totally blown off, discounted, or covered up.
Muslims can’t decide whether they are almighty and powerful and will rule the world or being oppressed and marginalized by the West. Well which one is it? It can’t be both. Are you almighty and powerful or are you oppressed and marginalized? Make a decision.
I sometimes wonder if the generals in Iran realize just how large and how populated the US is. They may be able to launch a coordinated attack against a few cities, but if they do, they’d better be ready to do this on an unprecedented scale that would make 9/11 look like a practice run.
Given how thinly stretched the US military is these days, the President might decide to respond asymmetrically. A few nuclear explosions just above the atmosphere would send most of these people back to the stone age. The few left who still think fighting is a good idea will be very easy to mop up.
I really get worried where America is going and what is to become of us? see http://www.blip.tv/file/1382254 Wake up Now than later.
A WARNING FROM THE USA TO IRAN: ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU ARE GOING TO GET A LOT OF NICE BIG H-BOMBS DOWN YOUR EFFING THROAT, ALL MADE IN THE USA!!!!!!!!
It may be too late. Once the combined numbers of Islamists and the American fifth column approach 15 to 20 per cent, there will be nothing that America can do about it. I believe that time has already passed. We cannot even name the enemy let alone respond.
That is right. With ~20% Muscum population Indian politicians and media literally licking Muslim’s feet and sucking their cocks.
Shhh! You promised not to tell us we were infiltrated, now let our politicians get back to chasing women, watching porn or playing golf and the rest of the Americans buying all the new gadgets with Chinese money! Did you not see the PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB SIGN hanging on our borders.
Well they just need to yell racist in Washington DC,CA,NY,FL and New England and you’ll hear the weapons hit the floor as people bow down.
Then they can open the prisons,recruit people the government has alienated.Call it a race war and invite armed ghetto thugs and Mexicans to join for revenge.
If they attack citizens in small cities and citizens retaliate the gov will send the military to defend them,the poor victimized minority.
The rest of the world would watch and cheer the downfall of the detestable US.
But Obama will be safe from his marauding brothers.
There are alot of muslims here,legally and illegally ,just waiting for the fun to begin.They are well funded from welfare fraud and have one major advantage ,human life has no value to them.
Just a thought.
Handguns cannot defend against computer attack.
In Israel the cyber warfare unit was having trouble getting the major banks and corporations to cooperate in computer defense so the government compuspooks just hacked into all of their systems. We must be proactive and aggressive.
I don’t know about anyone else, but, I’m ready to end this thing with IRAN.
The day of the next false flag as a pretext to invade Iran is the day America will be annihilated by Russia, China and the SCO. This is the war of Armageddon and you can know it is now by all the chemtrails sprayed every day globally to hide the sign in the heavens, Planet X, which is causing the massive increase in volcanic and seismic activity. America is the Mountains of Israel in Ezekiel, or Zion. The day of destruction is 10-10.
This Hezbollah Commander that the article references is just citing his party’s rhetoric. That is plain to see. He talks about the “waking up” of the other Arab nations, and tries to pander to that base as though it were his own. But the Arab Spring Movement is pro-democracy, and anti-tyranny of losers like Gaddhafi. When the Arab Spring fully erupts in Iran, no doubt commanders like this one will fear it, not embrace it. It is clear this Commander supports the establishment – but the youthquake in the Arab world is against the establishment… Interestingly, so are a growing number of Americans. Its called the Alter-Globalization Movement. Look it up on Wikipedia.
There is nothing about Hussein that tells me he’ll deal with this. He has said he’ll absorb attacks… and there’s a perfect excuse to extend the soiled finger of homeland security’s friendship. If Barry is willing to betray Israel you know we are close behind, Jeremiah Wright preached it, Barak Mounir Ubayd is doing it and Frank Marshall Davis is smiling in hell.
kill them all. NOW. every chance you get…
Gen. Naqhidi is typical of his ilk.
He’s cocky, self-assured and full of bluster about all the things his regime has done and will do to us here in the west, particularly to America.
The problem is that he sounds as if he is trying more to convince himself, his people and his regime as a whole that we are impotent, corrupt to the point of incapacity; that they are going to destroy us. The problem with people like him is that they so fundamentally fail to understand that we can not be destroyed by enemies from outside our borders. We can only be beaten from within.
Those who may infiltrate us would have a near impossible task to cause enough damage to bring us down. There is no center of gravity so important that we can’t survive anything they could do to us.
If Washington disappeared tomorrow most of America would probably celebrate it in fact… We don’t need leadership from the top to live or thrive or to give power or authority to reinforce our legitimacy as he does. WE the People can do just fine without all the hyperbole and without all the trappings and police powers of the state that people like the General need to solidify their positions and to maintain control in their country.
They can hit us in ways that hurt but neither he, nor Iran as a nation can deliver a telling blow to the degree we can.. Saddam said the same kinds of things the General is saying and yet Saddam ended up at the end of a rope.
I don’t worry much about Iran. They can cause problems and annoy us but they can’t do any serious crippling damage that we can’t recover from and put back on them 10 fold. If Iran elected to use the nuclear option, then to borrow a expression from Adm. William “Bull” Halsey, American can make it possible that the Persian language is one heard and spoken widely in only one place: Hell.
The General needs to read recent history. His country fought Iraq for nearly a decade to a stalemate that cost hundreds of thousands of lives. America had Iraq beaten to a pulp twice in a decade , ultimately doing in a few weeks what they (Iran) could not accomplish in nearly 8 years of total war, and with a small fraction of the casualties.
Keep whistling past the graveyard, General if you must… Mess with America and we’ll put you and your little toady pals in one!!
