Top Revolutionary Guard commanders assassinated

1. ... and you control Iraq. :lol:

2. Who told you that you are? :shock:

I will correct the link later.

1. We don't completely control Iraq. The oil industry are doing industry deals with many different companies.
2. We are. We don;t need somebody to tell us. Who would tell us? The UN? What a joke! No other country can manage the security of the shipping lanes. No other country can project power. No other country is as influential in the region.

So why does the US need to control ME and Caspian oil and gas?

As I said, we don't control it, we provide security.

Just out of curiosity, what country are you from, Elena?

Quite possibly less of our soldiers would have died if Bush would have fought the right battles in the right place.

FYI smart guy, the Iranians are arming the Taliban in Afghanistan as well.

If Iran has committed so many acts of war against the US and Israel then why didn't Bush and Cheney along with the Israelies do the job that you feel that they should have been doing? But never did.

Why not?

Irrelevant, the facts are undeniable, Iran is responsible for the deaths of Israeli civilians and soldiers and U.S. soldiers.
 
And what does your country need in Iraq and Afghanistan?

We are in Iraq and Afghanistan due to several acts of war perpetrated by the governments that we overthrew. But good to see your unabashed support for genocidal tyrannies. Frankly you ****ing disgust me.
 
I hope the US is involved, as it would mean Obama is serious about regime change. Between terrorist attacks on Republican Guard commanders and Qom clerics opposing the Ayatollah, things may continue to deteriorate for the government of Iran.

If the US is involved then it just means the 'War on Terror' is one huge farce.

Um no the Iranian Revolutionary Guard itself is a terrorist organization, killing them is not an act of terrorism it is an act of self defense. But perhaps you support the killing of U.S. and Israeli soldiers.

Maybe we can have assassinations on the police commanders who quell voices here in America? (I don't want this. Just comparing)
 
I think it's more likely that this attack is a result of Khameini's control of the Republican Guard, and the way that the guard has been used to crack down on the civil liberties of the people of Iran.

Free Green Iran: Republican Guard Threathens People for Qods Day

Or, for that matter, I could also see it as possible that the Ahmadinejad regime killed Republican Guard leaders who were opposed to Khameini's control of the RG.

It's rather premature to be speculating about U.S. involvement in this matter, when there is zero evidence to support that claim, and plenty of reasons for this to happen internally in Iran.

Um no we have what is known as freedom of speech in this country. We, also, have the right to peaceably assemble, key word being peaceably. For where there is no right of free speech and free assembly one would have to go places like Iran.
 
Khameini Watch - Faster, Please! Latest on Khamenei Watch

On the 6th he traveled by automobile to Ramsar, a very beautiful resort city, and which is graced by a palace of the late shah. Khamenei was supposed to spend three days there, but he wasn’t feeling well, and complained of difficulty in breathing. He was therefore flown from Ramsar airport to Tehran.

He was treated at home by various specialists for several days. He received oxygen to help him breathe. The collapse came on Monday the 12th, and he was taken to a special clinic–originally built for Imam Khomeini–in Tehran. Foreign specialists began to arrive on Wednesday the 14th, when he was examined by foreign doctors. They included two famous Russian professors who had been in Iran previously, by three men described as “orientals” (could be Chinese or North Koreans; I don’t know), and two other doctors who identified themselves as swiss. Throughout, the Iranian doctors kept saying “give him more oxygen.” Medicine was delivered from abroad, coming straight from the airport to the clinic.

I am told he was still in a coma late Friday afternoon, Tehran time. And he is still very sick.

He has had only one important visitor outside his immediate family and advisers: Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Lebanese Hezbollah. Nasrallah flew in, I believe on Thursday night, went to the clinic, saw Khomenei for two-three minutes, and came out of the room “in tears.”

If Khameini is indeed in a coma, then this could entirely destabilize the governmental structure of Iran. The bombing could be related to this.

Really? Me and everyone else didn't know anything about what you are talking about. Thanks for educating us. What about this? Should this anonymous terrorist cop be assassinated?

I didn't see any relation between the coma story and the OP other than your early "speculation." And I can forgive all your imperialist sentiments; I think they're related to the fact that you're unaware of some of the deeds of past and present political administrations of the U.S. :mrgreen:

Um what's the context of that photograph? A still photo proves nothing. Regardless that isn't even a photo from the U.S. it is from the U.K.. Furthermore; the idea that you are comparing a U.K. constable to a Iranian member of the revolutionary guards has got to be one of the stupidest ****ing things ever uttered on this board.

So hold on... we have to go ever there to kill them in self defense. Because they are a giant group with mechanisms set up to subvert political dissent. What's the context to the photo? You tell me. And what does it matter that it is from he UK? You think that maybe I didn't notice or something? I apologize. I didn't know that is was taboo to talk about other countries other than the axis of evil. If we are going to get tough on those who crack down on dissent then why not go full tilt?

:bravo: :bravo:

I don't know, I suspect Chris is constantly working hard to top himself.
 
And really, AF? Most of the nonsense that you post on this board comes from you having gullibly swallowed misinformation without adequate fact checking; this isn't an exception. :rofl

1. Bollox!

2. And now imagine: you are sitting with your family on a couch, suddenly the door bursts open and some dude from the other side of the town stomps in, beats ten shades of cr*p out of you, takes your sofa and f*cks your wife; and when you try to protest, tells you to shut up and appreciate that he is doing it for your own good, and if you don't like it then you are nothing but an ungrateful pig.

3. I didn't say you already control it; I said you are doing everything within US power to control it. Ask yourself Why?

4. I grew up in the USSR, ended up living in Ukraine and now British citizen. Does it matter?

It is premature to speculate of the US involvement, but this involvement is very probable.

Nicked it off another forum
http://www.ciponline.org/asia/reports/pakistan_the_state_of_the_union.pdf

The Pakistanis also suspect Iran of supporting Baluch activists in order to counter a
Pakistan-U.S. plot to make Baluchistan a rear base in a future offensive against Tehran.29 Iran, which
is keen on becoming the preferred outlet to the sea for Central Asia at Pakistan’s expense, has built
its own port at Chah Bahar (recently renamed Bandar Beheshti) with Indian assistance.30
Iranian involvement is unlikely. Tehran has denied any involvement in the troubles in
Baluchistan, claiming that it is not hostile to the Gwadar project.31 If it were to get involved in the
Baluch imbroglio, it would probably not be in opposition to Pakistan and certainly not because of its
rivalry with Pakistan over providing an outlet to the sea for Central Asia. Iran and Pakistan have a
common interest in exporting Iranian gas to India, and an insurrection in Baluchistan would only
harm their chances of building a gas pipeline through the province.32 Iran also has reason to worry
about Baluchistan’s claims to its border regions. In fact, Tehran sent helicopters to Islamabad
between 1973 and 1977 to help it put down the Baluch insurrection.
Finally, the Baluch as well as the Pakistanis see the United States as a potential
troublemaker. Some Pakistanis suspect that Washington would like to use Baluchistan as a rear
base for an attack on Iran and would also like to get China out of the region.33 They do not make
clear which side the Americans are on: whether they are opposing the Baluch nationalists because
they are supported by Iran or whether they are supporting the Baluch because they are hostile to the
Chinese. Other Pakistanis see a continuation of the “Great Power game” being played in Central Asia
since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Proponents of this view believe that the United States, in
competition with China and Iran, would like to control the oil supply lines from the Middle East and
Central Asia and would also like to use its Greater Middle East initiative to dismantle the major
Muslim states and redefine borders in the region.34 In contrast, some Baluch nationalists charge the
United States with conspiring with the Pakistan government to put an end to Baluch claims.
So far nobody has been able to prove any of these accusations.

That cop killed a man for strolling in front of him. When shall we expect the US military might to free and democratise us?

Bad analogy in this case. The man was beating and torturing his wife, killed a couple of their kids, was mixing explosives in the bathtub, and had invited some nasty characters over to share dinner. When we went to the door, we knocked for 12 years and gave him an ultimatim. When we entered we killed his brother who was trying to kill us and found him in a **** hole, hiding. We freed his wife and gave her medical care and got her enrolled in university. The kids are thriving with their own stalls in the market selling cellphones and computers.

Please don't be defensive. It doesn't matter to this conversation, I was just curious. Sounds like you got a range of experiences.
