Peace Signals From Iran … Not
H
ow would we feel as a nation if one of our top military officers was General Salami? Poor Iran; the head of the air force branch of its Revolutionary Guard is Gen. Hoseyn Salami. Remember “Salami, Salami, Baloney?”
Having to deal with Gen. Salami jokes alone might explain why Iran is acting like a bully, or a bull in a china closet. Or it might be because they’ve named their recent war games Great Prophet III. And here I thought there was only one Mohammed (which my spell checker jively tells me should be spelled “Mo hammed.” Right.)
[Mini-update: I'm pleased to report that C-SM did not run the photo faked by the Revolutionary Guard, like the NYT, LAT and other major pubs did. Here's what the other CSM has to say about that.] Whatever the reason, the Iranians tested several rockets earlier today as part of Great Prophet III, including a new version of their Shahab-3 capable of reaching that pesky nation they want to rub off the map. The Shahab-3, you may recall, is just a re-badged North Korean missile with the studly name No-dong (nickname “Bobbitt”).
Anyway, said General Baloney Salami:
“Our missiles are ready for shooting at any place and any time, quickly and with accuracy.
“The enemy must not repeat its mistakes. The enemy targets are under surveillance.” (BBC)
“Our hands are always on the trigger and our missiles are ready for launch.” (USA Today)
Seems like Western calls for Iran to behave itself are being ignored. Shocker. How much more bluster can it muster? Iran’s leaders appear to be marching the country towards the edge of the cliff, or in this case, the edge of the Gulf, with the only outrage left being an attempt to close off the Straits of Hormouz. That’s an act of war in most people’s book, although Al Gore might see it as a brave move against global warming.
On a more reasonable note, let’s remember that the Israelis just staged their own war games that looked an awful lot like a planning session for an aerial raid on a country about as far away as, oh, Iran. So for Iran to come back with a Shahab-3 test launch is at one level a quo for the Israeli’s quid.
At another level, it’s just more evidence that there’s a bunch of crazed, last-days theocrats running a country that’s rushing towards getting something fissionable to cap off their No-dongs. And Obama, who can’t even find the magic words to convince us he’s not rushing to the middle, wants us to put his diplomacy skills up as our defense against these guys.

Heaven forgive me for saying this, but, I can only remember two things that I learn from the Quran- Koran- or whatever other name you want to give this religion. I began reading on it after Bush was so determined to get us into this blunder, now I am aware of the reason. Many Muslims believe that the nations of the West established Israel in the heart of the Arab world to be the outpost of their civilization, to be a word of the West hanging over the necks of Muslims, therefore they are committed to restore Israel’s territory to Muslim control and to preserve the Abode of Isam in Palestine. Those who die for this struggle against the United States, or infidels as they call us, will immediately be translated to paradise.These teaching have poisoned the youth of the middleeast, and now are coming into the land of Purple and poisoning the American born muslim. Iran will be destroyed, and I am sure it will be done only by a Judeo-Christian. They will never allow Israel the land of our G-D Yeshua to be destroyed. So, we can be assured that it will not be Obama that will put his finger on the trigger, only because some of us are still in doubt of his “true” faith, and sitting in a 20 anti-american black liberation church does not make you a Judeo-Christian, what it makes you is CONFUSED, and we don’t need someone with this confusion in our Whitehouse.

ALL you religious zealots are deluded by centuries of brainwashing!
Christians, Jews and Muslims ALL believe in the last day! And ALL of you yearn for that day! So it stands to reason that you don’t give a damn about wiping out millions of lives, making a whole country radioactive or even blowing up the entire planet, ‘ cause God, Jehovah or Allah will snap his fingers, and all will be well again.
And the most funny, from my point of view, is that the USA is the most deluded and least secular country in the world! On par with or even out-deluding Iran! Not to mention Israel which is OFFICIALLY A NON-SECULAR STATE (no complaints from the US).
And we do not check our facts, we believe our elitist media: Ahmedinejad never said that ‘Israel should be wiped of the planet’, he actualy said that ‘Israel has no right to exist’ which is a completely different thing! But hey, thats nuance for ya!
So I predict that before the end of the year we will have a war in Iran! And the last day will finally be here for you! And IF there turns out to be a god, I’ll be His favorite because I did stick to His rules not because I am affraid of Hell, but because I think it was the right thing to do… And lots of Christians, Jews And Muslims will all go to Hell because they presumed on Gods will!
Good luck to ya!
