The DC Caller – by Reza Kahili
As Congress debates whether to support President Obama’s call for a limited strike against Syria for the alleged use of chemical weapons, Iran is vowing to back Bashar al-Assad’s regime to the hilt and threatening to unleash terrorism should the U.S. strike.
Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s Quds Forces, Wednesday told the Assembly of Experts — the body that chooses the supreme leader — that “[w]e will support Syria to the end.”
And 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].”
A similar act was committed in a video of the torture of William Buckley, a CIA station chief who was abducted in Beirut in 1984 and later killed by Hezbollah on Iran’s order. That video was dropped off at the U.S. Embassy in Athens. Former CIA Director William Casey later described what he saw in the video: “They had done more than ruin his body. His eyes made it clear his mind had been played with. It was horrific, medieval and barbarous.”
Bring that shit haji I’m waiting to trap that soul with the blade! Heads are surly gonna roll.
This sort of rhetoric is just not helpful at the moment as it supplies ammunition to Obama to use against the Iranians or the Syrians and just at this point where it is looking likely that the US has come to a halt in that direction, this sort of language (if it is correct of course as we know mistranslation is a deliberate act with some newswires) is likely to inflame the hawks and drive some of the ditherers into supporting the hawk way forward.
I imagine Putin when reading this is somewhat facepalming sadly to himself…
Hey AG, maybe it’s time for Israel to launch another unannounced missile test between opposing fleets that are offshore from Syria.
You should watch a film called Whoops Apocalypse, where an insane British Prime Minister decides to start nuclear war because of the pixies, very grim but funny black humour that is almost on the nose in the current sense.
Oh Israel is definitely going to stir the cauldron as much as it can, they all believe that some wisp in the sky is going to protect them as do the christian fundo’s in Washington, our lives hang in the balance held by lunatics and maniacs and all it takes is one small catalyst to make it go bang 🙁
AG, those filthy Zionists aren’t waiting for “some wisp in the sky”. They rejected (and murdered) Christ, and the one they’re waiting for is the Antichrist – literally.
Now, I don’t know your veiw of the Bible, but regardless of whether you believe in God and Satan or not, THEY do.
Much to our detriment, they chose Satan.
Damn! Well said at that, #1. You hit the nail on the head, dude.
The only Hawks around here are going after this illegitimate government.
Astute and absolutely correct. I would think at this point in the ball game they want the American people to think somebody…anybody…other than they are our enemy, that is, ours and Obama’s enemy. Right? Do you think they got that translation a little messed up and maybe what was actually said was that they are going to attack the American Obama family?
Sane people can only observe psychopaths.
Maybe it’s what they would like right now, can’t say they won’t change their mind in seconds.
Honestly, we should watch all sides, closely.
Yep, that’s the philosophy I go by.
More lies and BS from the Israelis, who are desperate to get American troops into Syria, so Israel can invade Lebanon up to the River Litani and steal much needed water.
Just think of how much more peaceful the world would be without that Apartheid nightmare of Zionism, if they didn’t exist.
So, fast forward to just after the attack, and these “Iranian” kill squads go to work. Who does that help? Why the hawkish warheads in the Obama Administration, of course.
Crackdowns, huge security expansion, and expenditures, TSA and other DHS on every street corner with metal detectors, MRAPs and machineguns. Stop and frisk in every city and small-town!
Iranian kill-squads in the US are only an authoritarian asshole apparatchik’s wet-dream! Big sis would have to change her undies twice a day just to keep up with all the excitement!
Oh, and harsh, very harsh treatment of anybody who thinks the Syrian adventure was a dumb idea. After all, look at these kill-squads! Our opposition to these animals (and concomitant suppression of their sympathizers) is perfectly justified!
Big win for Team Obama if Iranian kill-squads ever turn up in the US!
Fear of the dangerous hidden outsider has a marvellous political unifying effect.
I was hijacked by my brother who does not see the world the same as me the post here was not by me and I will be more carefull from now on.
