The maggot, Mohammad-Reza Jaafari
There is only one effective method to minimize the use of suicide bombers. Killing the bombers will be no deterrent as dying is their goal. Their support network is quite a different matter. Each suicide bombing incident leaves a trail of clues. The clues will point to a support network. The forensics apparatus required to investigate and identify the networks involved exists. The support networks need to be identified for what they are, hostile military assets. They need to be eliminated in a ruthless and violent fashion with no bravado and no shadow. It can be done. It should start with Mohammad-Reza Jaafari. He has a house, an office, a car, a family, a cell phone, a bank account. Someone writes him a check. Find him. Kill him. Kill those around him.
Iran opens garrison to recruit suicide bombers against West Iran Focus
Tehran, Iran, Jul. 22 – A military garrison has been opened in Iran to recruit and train volunteers for “martyrdom-seeking operations”, according to the garrison’s commander, Mohammad-Reza Jaafari.
Jaafari, a senior officer in the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), told a hard-line weekly close to Iran’s ultra-conservative President-elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that the new “Lovers of Martyrdom Garrison” (Gharargahe Asheghane Shahadat, in Persian) would recruit individuals willing to carry out suicide operations against Western targets.
The full text of the original interview in Persian can be seen on the weekly’s website at www.partosokhan.ir/283/page08.pdf .
“The Lovers of Martyrdom Garrison has been activated and we will form a Martyrdom-seeking Division for each province in the country, organised in brigades, battalions and companies to defend Islam”, Jaafari told the weekly Parto-Sokhan.
The weekly is published in the Shiite holy city of Qom by the Imam Khomeini Educational and Research Institute. The institute’s chairman, hard-line cleric Ayatollah Mohammad-Taghi Mesbah Yazdi, is regarded as the ideological mentor of President-elect Ahmadinejad.
The weekly carried a report in its July 13 issue on a meeting between Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi and the commander of Lovers of Martyrdom Garrison. Jaafari was quoted by the weekly as saying that the organisation of "martyrdom-seeking popular forces" was being implemented on the basis of instructions from the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
In the earlier interview, the garrison commander spoke in glowing terms of the newly-elected president.
“I have personally met Dr. Ahmadinejad, the distinguished mayor of Tehran”, Jaafari said. “He is a Bassiji [member of the Revolutionary Guards’ paramilitary forces] and I recommend other officials to make him a role model”.
The commander said that “in Tehran alone, there will be four martyrdom-seeking divisions”, adding that “we are currently in the process of recruitment and organisation and soon volunteers will receive training in accordance to their assigned missions”.
The weekly’s interview with Jaafari appeared under the title, “Commander of Lovers of Martyrdom Garrison: Let America and Israel know, each of our suicide volunteers equals a nuclear bomb”.
Jaafari told the weekly that his organisation had set up branches all over Iran and was in particular aiming to convince young persons to enlist for “martyrdom-seeking operations”.
“One of our garrison’s aims is to spot martyrdom-seeking individuals in society and then recruit and organise them, so that, God willing, at the right moment when the Commander-in-Chief of the country’s armed forces [Ayatollah Khamenei] gives the order, they would be able to enter the scene and carry out their missions”, Jaafari said.
“The Imam [Khomeini] said years ago that Israel must be wiped off the face of the Earth, but so far practical steps have not been taken to achieve this”, the garrison commander said. “Our garrison must spot, recruit, organise and train martyrdom-seeking persons to be able to materialise this objective. Any delay in fulfilling the strategy of the Imam and the Supreme Leader in this regard will not be to the advantage of Islam or the revolution”.
“The United States should know that we have nuclear weapons, but they are in the hearts of our suicide bombers”, Jaafari added.
Jaafari is a senior commander who has met with Khamenei on several occasions, according to the interview. He was chairman of the First Conference in Honour of Unknown Martyrs in Tehran earlier this month. The event was widely reported by Iran’s state-run media, which cited Jaafari’s remarks.
Iran's at war with us, and everybody else. So far they lack the real means, but are working on it. Jaafari is another true believer, either that or cynical as hell. Here's a group that seems to have a handle on the reality. Popping Jaafari would be a satisfying thing to do, unfortunately there's many another to take his place. Sooner or later we'll probably be forced into a clearer view of the situation. The centrifuges are purring away.
ReplyDeletePESHAWAR, Pakistan (Associated Press) -- Two suicide attackers and a roadside bomb struck a military convoy Sunday, killing 11 soldiers and three civilians in an intensifying campaign of violence against the government in the restive border region, the army spokesman said.
ReplyDeleteThe latest incident followed the deaths of 24 soldiers in a suicide strike against another convoy in the northwest Saturday.
The government has deployed thousands of troops to the region to thwart calls by extremists for a holy war to revenge the bloody storming of Islamabad's Red Mosque last week.
On Sunday, the convoy of army and paramilitary troops was attacked by suspected militants in Swat, a mountainous area of North West Frontier Province bordering Afghanistan, Maj. Gen. Waheed Arshad said.
"These were two suicide attacks in which two blue Suzuki vans were used as well as an (improvised explosive device) blast," said Arshad, who said 39 soldiers were wounded by the explosions.
On Saturday, at least 24 soldiers were killed and 29 wounded on a road near Daznaray, a village about 30 miles north of Miran Shah, the main town in the North Waziristan tribal region, Arshad said.
I agree. Kill the man. Go in and blow up the whole "so called garrison" for that matter. Enough with the pussy footing BS.
ReplyDelete"Pro-Taleban militants in Pakistan's North Waziristan region say they have ended their truce with the government."
ReplyDeleteWhat will the government do? The suicide attacks against police recruits not only send a message to the government but also, the people. The death cult have figured out the most symbolic and opportune targets. A lone bomber can find a soft spot in security and boom! Future would be recruits get the msg.
DVD's and video tapes are available at Mosques stores throughout the Islamic world and on-line everywhere.
It would be really nice to just bankrupt the iranians.
ReplyDeleteGM has been constantly saying for the last several years that they expect their hydrogen fuel cell cars to meet the price points of today'
s internal combustion engines by 2009. For example in this June article
"GM has already said that by 2009 they will have the cost of the their fuel cell system down to cost parity with current internal combustion engines at $50/kW."
The price of oil keeps rising because demand is rising and production is falling.
The Iranians for example are losing production at the rate of 10% a year.
"Iran's oil exports are plummeting at 10pc a year on lack of investment and could be exhausted within a decade, depriving the world economy of its second-biggest source of crude supplies."
Iranian oil infrastructure dates back to the Shah. They've spent their money on guns and assassins. imho the Iranians see the best way to keep their oil income high is by continually keeping the area boiling so as to put a war risk on the price of oil. After all, higher oil prices are the same as rising production in terms of keeping oil revenues the same.
Meanwhile Iranian oil production keeps falling. (This of course, means they will keep ratcheting up the pressure.)
But the effect will be that in a few short years hydrogen cars will be much cheaper to buy run and maintain.
Then the oil mullahs are going to find themselves to be seriously embarrassed.

ReplyDeleteWe went through the numbers before, charles.
ReplyDeleteOut past 2025, even if no gasoline powered cars were built after 2015, US oil needs will only diminish by 20% from todays' demand levels. Even if no petroleum vehicles are built after 2015. There is only a 4% salvage rate on the existing fleet, and that percentage is dropping.
The Chinese and Indians will still need vast amounts of oil, to lubricate their societies.
The Iraniaans can be bankrupted, no doubt, but not on the oil demand side, soon.
Forced divestitiure by US pension and investment companies in any firm in the world that does business with Iran, that would bust 'em up.
Waiting for the "magic technolgies" to defeat the Mullahs, is like waiting for the 12th Imam, just puts the faithful in a different ideological camp, but waiting on good works to be rewarded.
As Stanley, of Stanley Steamers, or Sony of beta tape fame, or Steve Jobs about apple operating systems vs DOS.
Sometines the "best" technologies do not gain mass market acceptance. They never migrate into mass use, quickly even if there is demand.
By 2025 there will still be well over 200 million petroleum fired vehicles, in the US of A.
Finacial War is the ticket with Iran, but the US of A will not engage them on that field, effectively, either.
Leaving the "biggest guns" in the holster, still.
On "Meet The Press", Lindset Graham looked very strong against Jim Webb, who looks like he is ready to snap. Graham is clearly trying to undo damage done to his career by the immigration amnesty bill. Webb came off as someone, if in a bar, that you would like to have at least two bar stools away.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Mr Webb would fit right in here, then.

ReplyDeleteUnless I am badly mistaken, I believe that we (US and others) have begun tackling Iran and the international financial front. The first round of financial sanctions have been imposed and are beginning to bite. The next rounds are either just in place or about to be. In the UN, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, and Russia have been voting against sanctions.
Iran is already beginning to feel the pinch and the mullahs have reacted with a crackdown on unIslamic dress, zenophobic campaigns and gasoline rationing. Chavez has offered and may already be shipping gasoline to Iran.
Much is happening in the background and we don't know all the details. I get the impression (wishful thinking again?) that we are trying to keep everything to a manageable dull roar until as I have said before, the Iranian nuclear thing is sorted out. On that front, the word came out this week that the US has greenlighted Israel on a first strike. ht tiger at Observanda.

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (Associated Press) -- A Marine corporal testifying in a court-martial said Marines in his unit began routinely beating Iraqis after officers ordered them to "crank up the violence level."
ReplyDeleteCpl. Saul H. Lopezromo testified Saturday at the murder trial of Cpl. Trent D. Thomas.
"We were told to crank up the violence level," said Lopezromo, testifying for the defense.
When a juror asked for further explanation, Lopezromo said: "We beat people, sir."
...
Prosecution witnesses testified that Thomas shot the 52-year-old man at point-blank range after he had already been shot by other Marines and was lying on the ground.
Lopezromo said a procedure called "dead-checking" was routine. If Marines entered a house where a man was wounded, instead of checking to see whether he needed medical aid, they shot him to make sure he was dead, he testified.
"If somebody is worth shooting once, they're worth shooting twice," he said.
The jury is composed of three officers and six enlisted personnel, all of whom have served in Iraq. The trial was set to resume Monday.
That is well true, whit.
ReplyDeleteWe have begun to play tit for tat with Iran, financially.
Half-stepping to armegedon.

BAGHDAD (Associated Press) -- A U.S. F-16 warplane crashed during takeoff at a base north of Baghdad on Sunday, but the pilot was uninjured, the military said.
The cause of the accident is under investigation, the military said in a statement.
The Air Force plane was taking off for a combat mission, to provide air support to troops on the ground fighting militiants, when it crashed at Balad Air Base, 50 miles north of Baghdad, it said.
Balad is the main air base for the U.S. military in Iraq.

Any country that uses suicide bombers against civilians shall loose the right to electric power of all kinds and shall be destroyed. Any attempt by those countries to generate electricity shall have those means destroyed.
Let's be clear, we are not talking about military units fighting military units, we are talking about islamists murdering civilians
See how moderate my position is, by comparison?
ReplyDeleteAnd yet there is no call to public action against the Iranians, such as there was against South Africa during the last years of P.W. Botha and National Party control.
So the threat posed by Iran to the US and the "West", judged not as great as that posed by P.W. Botha.

Almost all I've heard from the right wing blogosphere is why Bush could not do this, or why he could not do that, or you just wait, he's gonna.
Turns out, as some of us have said for some time, he simply is not up to the task.
Far from it, imo.
He's blown far more opportunities than the Dems and MSM combined have "taken away."
"We wait for Musharraf's next moves. Will he finally address his Waziristan problem? "
ReplyDelete---
Musharraf cannot solve his Waziristan problem unaided.
3 years back, a relatively minor air campaign would have set the Taliban back big time.
Like, Syria, Norkor, Iran, Somalia, Lebanon, West Bank, the Saudis, the "West" was found lacking.
No lack of blame production by Bush and his supporters, however.
Infuriating.
What if they gave a War and POTUS opted out after 2 years?
ReplyDeleteWe know the answer to that, unfortunately.
"With at least 87 dead, it looked as if the clash could set off an Islamic uprising in the world’s only nuclear-armed Muslim nation.
ReplyDeleteInstead, few people attended protests organized by religious parties on Friday. What the battle at the mosque seemed to reveal was how complex Pakistani politics is, and how far Islamist radicals are from gaining widespread popular support, Pakistani and American analysts said.
“There was no uprising because the society is not radical and is more opposed to extremism than most commentators think,” said Frederic Grare, a Pakistan analyst at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington.
“The clash demonstrates that the majority of the people will back a policy aimed at reducing radicals’ influence.”"

Saudi jihadists now make up half the foreign fighters in Iraq
ReplyDeleteSaudi double game update. "Saudis' role in Iraq insurgency outlined," by Ned Parker for the Los Angeles Times
(thanks to Hot Air):
BAGHDAD — Although Bush administration officials have frequently lashed out at Syria and Iran, accusing it of helping insurgents and militias here, the largest number of foreign fighters and suicide bombers in Iraq come from a third neighbor, Saudi Arabia, according to a senior U.S. military officer and Iraqi lawmakers.
About 45% of all foreign militants targeting U.S. troops and Iraqi civilians and security forces are from Saudi Arabia; 15% are from Syria and Lebanon; and 10% are from North Africa, according to official U.S. military figures made available to The Times by the senior officer. Nearly half of the 135 foreigners in U.S. detention facilities in Iraq are Saudis, he said.
Fighters from Saudi Arabia are thought to have carried out more suicide bombings than those of any other nationality

ReplyDeleteMr Bush has not mentioned the Sauds, not once as a source of terrorists in Iraq.

As long as the pay window is open.

ReplyDeleteSo the offical position of the Coalition is that there are outside Persian extremists.
Not Iranians, but ethnic Persians.
Or political Persians, but not Iranians.
"Persians" is how the 1920 Brigades and the other Iraqi patriots in Anbar describe the Iraqi Federal Government. But those Iraqi "Persians" are not outsiders?

As bob described, westhawk says the US is moving on its' own, as CIA General Hadley said,
The Iraqi Government and the US do not agree on who the enemy is.
The Coalition is using Sunni "code" to describe the Iraqi Government as terrorist supporters.
To placate who, (the Sauds & Sunni) at the expense of whose legitimacy? (the Elected Government)
Calling it "bottom up", a process which we stopped, dead in its' tracks, in 2003. Because the people that would have been elected then, will be elected now. Not to be trusted in the "new" Iraq, then, but now?

ReplyDeleteIf there are sea gulls at Salt Lake you can't prove it by me, as we turned east at Ogden, over the old pioneer trail, trail of the pony express, now a four lane of many trucks. Did see a lot of pollution from Salt Lake City though, all the way from around Ogden. I hand it to the truckers, but they ought to stop and pick up the shredded tires they sometimes leave behind, a real danger sometimes. I saw where at some truck stops they are installing heating and cooling systems--a tube to each truck delivering hot or cool air as needed--so they don't run the engine all night to keep cool or warm when sleeping. Good idea.

"Our amendment mandates that the Administration immediately initiate planning for post-September contingencies, including a drawdown or re-deployment of forces.
It requires those plans to be presented to Congress by October 16 of this year, and it states that the plans should be designed to be executable beginning not later than December 31. The surge must not be an excuse for failing to prepare for the next phase of our involvement in Iraq, whether that is withdrawal, redeployment, or some other option.
We saw in 2003 after the initial invasion of Iraq, the disastrous results of failing to plan adequately for contingencies. Read the full statement
