Times Online UK Iran suicide bombers ‘ready to hit Britain’ Marie Colvin, Michael Smith and Sarah Baxter IRAN has formed battalions of suicide bombers to strike at British and American targets if the nation’s nuclear sites are attacked. According to Iranian officials, 40,000 trained suicide bombers are ready for action. The main force, named the Special Unit of Martyr Seekers in the Revolutionary Guards, was first seen last month when members marched in a military parade, dressed in olive-green uniforms with explosive packs around their waists and detonators held high. Dr Hassan Abbasi, head of the Centre for Doctrinal Strategic Studies in the Revolutionary Guards, said in a speech that 29 western targets had been identified: “We are ready to attack American and British sensitive points if they attack Iran’s nuclear facilities.” He added that some of them were “quite close” to the Iranian border in Iraq. In a tape recording heard by The Sunday Times, Abbasi warned the would-be martyrs to “pay close attention to wily England” and vowed that “Britain’s demise is on our agenda”. At a recruiting station in Tehran recently, volunteers for the force had to show their birth certificates, give proof of their address and tick a box stating whether they would prefer to attack American targets in Iraq or Israeli targets.

I can almost hear bushs response; "Bring em on"

Hum, this has been up for a day and one has responded.

Yes, I think Bush would respond in a challenging manner.

It also makes the point that we live in peace only when we agree to live in peace. These places have not been attacked by Iran, because so far Iran has agree not to do so. I think that is a pleasing agreement, and that it would be foolish to change Iran's decision.

I think a lot of peeps will just read the title and move along. "Iran suicide bombers ‘ready to hit Britain’ " seems so far away.
If they would read story they would see it involves American targets, too. That clipping is from a British paper.

Our in-bedded media, Fox just reported:

Fox Tehran Threatens West With Homicide Attacks TEHRAN, Iran — Iran has formed battalions of suicide bombers to strike at British and American targets if the nation’s nuclear sites are attacked. According to Iranian officials, 40,000 trained suicide bombers are ready for action.

(Story continues below) President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned last Friday that Israel was heading toward “annihilation.” He was speaking at a Tehran conference on Palestinian rights aimed at promoting Iran as a new Middle Eastern superpower...... read the rest...

Odd that they changed Suicide to Homicide, in the headline. When in actuality it would be just plain WAR. Maybe Suicide bomber doesnt have the old cowboy ring to it. Its so middle eastern.

Our own president is going to bring a shitstorm to our shores.

Are they walking and swimming or do their bombs have some superior technology to get past airport security.

Watch out for Iranians building really massive catapults

[gr8fuldaniel]

They will come from Mexico. Iranians look enough like Mexicans to get away with it
The US is sponsoring Job Fairs in Mexico that find butchers and farmworkers and such, then enlist Coyotes to smuggle them up, unempeded.....

Link <snip> “Today, Mexican workers are forced to pay bribes that hike what should be a $360 cost for visa and other legitimate fees to payoffs of $1,800 to $3,500 to corrupt police officials, job recruiters and ‘coyotes’ who carry the workers into the States. “These are slave labor programs almost as bad as the Braceros Program that was ended in the 1960s,” Velasquez said. After being extorted for high fees and risking their lives to sneak across the border, they are denied the right to complain about working conditions, health care or their pay. “Anyone who speaks up is fired, deported and then blacklisted by the U.S. Customs Service from ever returning to the U.S.,” he added.

Edit to add:
Admittedly, the articles focus on American and Brit targets "over there". But it is not inconcievable to hit us at home.

[Nono]

Yes, these imbecilic Bushistas will do more for the mullahs' political fortunes than the grizzled old buggers dared hope in their wildest dreams. Another ultra-symbiotic relationship à la Saddam, à l'Osama -- God help us all.

What do they want from us? If it's just fairness they seek, I can dig. I'll bet the ones behind them are no better than the ones behind us.

Punctuation helps.
