Ayatollah Khomeini's Grandson Calls on Bush to 'Occupy' Iran
-People are desperate when the Grandson of the creator of the revoltion is calling for invasion. Guess he doesn't know how many people will get killed!

http://www.watchingamerica.com/alseyassah000005.shtml

Ayatollah Hossein Khomeini , grandson of Ruhollah Al Khomeini, the founder of the Iranian Republic, has said that his country is living under a religious dictatorship, governed by the mullahs. He also defended his call for President Bush to invade Iran!

During an interview with the news Web site alarabiya.net, Hossein Khomeini called for the liberation of Iran from religious rule and Al-Fakih and said that the revolution, which was led by his grandfather against the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in 1979, had devoured its children.

This was a rare interview with Hossein Khomeini, who has avoided the media since touring Iran three years ago and annoying the Iranian government with some of his comments. Khomeini said that he knows that his contacts and movements are under surveillance.

1. Wouldn't invading Iran
be the final call to arms for the Muslim people against the American (Zionist) Empire? Seems to be a motivating force for Islamic revolt. Such an invasion is a rallying call for them. Maybe that is the point of the Khomeni rant.

5. It could be a trap too - I just can't believe they'd let.............
....Khomeini's Grandson say such things especially since he made comments once before that the government wasn't happy with. If this guy continues he may not be around long.

7. Fine, we'll send bush
We'll replace a nuclear warhead MIRV package with bush and
send him to you in an ICBM. You'll be getting the invasion
as soon as he arrives.... hope it helps. Sorry we couldn't
spare anyone else... awwwhheck, we'll throw in cheney and rumsefld
for free, as a 3-MIRV warhead, but don't ask for any more, or
we might send condi and UN bucko bolton and Delay on a second
MIRV package.

But what do you think these "splats" will do, we won't ask, best
of luck with them.

8. Hitchens said the guy said the same thing
It seems the fringe extremists of Iran's population will now form the forefront of this brave democratic brigade out to liberate Iraq (much like the dissidents who wanted Iraq occupied, who consisted of a very small fraction of the dissidents).!

9. Yep, you're right "democratic."
The United States should not take the advice of the grandson of a maniac.

Did you know Ronald Reagan sent a birthday cake to Ayatollah Khomeini?

It was in the shape of a key, representing the key to Reagan's heart.

Do you know who delivered the cake? Ollie North.

This was during the underhanded dealing with Iran when Reagan was running against Jimmy Carter.

Later during his illustrious career, Reagan provided weapons to both sides in the Iran- Iraq war, including nerve agent and other WMD to Saddam Hussein.

Isn't that interesting?

10. He knows he is doomed. Why not ruin millions of lives in the process?
That's how extremists think.

They will goad Bush into reacting.

They know they are dead.

They also know what will happen if they stop the oil flow. Nothing good, and quite possibly economic chaos throughout the world.
