. . . in an unprecedented statement, a former Iranian official has warned of mass abductions and brutal killings of American citizens around the world and the rape and killing of one of Obama’s daughters should the United States attack Syria.
Alireza Forghani, the former governor of southern Iran’s Kish Province, threw down the gauntlet last week. Forghani is an analyst and strategy specialist in the supreme leader’s camp and closely aligned with Mehdi Taeb, who heads the regime’s Ammar Strategic Base, a radical think thank, and thus speaks with the blessing of the Islamic regime.
“Hopefully Obama will be pigheaded enough to attack Syria, and then we will see the … loss of U.S. interests [through terrorist attacks],” he threatened. “In just 21 hours [after the attack on Syria], a family member of every U.S. minister [department secretary], U.S. ambassadors, U.S. military commanders around the world will be abducted. And then 18 hours later, videos of their amputation will be spread [around the world].”
This truly is where the Most Equal Comrade's entirely different view of what it means to preside over the United States and protect Western civilization clashes head-on with the conventional definition of failure. It doesn't matter if he's a success in his own mind, he's making the world exponentially more dangerous by the hour.

ReplyDeleteIs anybody with this guy besides John McLame?
ReplyDeleteHannity even now admits he was wrong on Iraq too and I think I heard Laura Ingraham say so too yesterday. Your Dutch nailed it back in '91:
ReplyDelete"You know how to explain the Middle East?" Reagan asked the crowd on his 80th birthday in 1991, 2.5 yrs.after he left office in answer to a question.
"A scorpion came to a stream there in the desert and there was a frog. And the scorpion said, 'Oh, I can't swim, will you carry me across?' And the frog said, 'If I make that mistake, I'd die.' "With those words, the scorpion said, 'Any fool would know we'd both die (if I did that) because I can't swim.' Well that made sense, and the frog said 'Get on.'
"In the middle of the stream, the scorpion stung him. And the frog said . . . 'Now, we're both going to die. Why did you do that?' And the scorpion said 'This is the Middle East.' "
Circa 2001 - 2002, Michael Ledeen was arguing that Iraq was a secondary or even tertiary problem. He said the first order of business was regime change in Teheran.
ReplyDeleteAnd, no, he never advocated military force to do it. He argued way back then for support of civilian resistance groups among the Iranian populace. Of course, the golden opportunity to do that was in 2009, but a certain post-American regime saw fit to sit on its hands instead.
