A true professional takes pride in his work, as it is a true reflection of his very being. Iran's IRGC is no exception; they are true professionals of the terror trade.
"US effort to include IRGC among terror organs a pride for Guards- Khatami," from IRNA:
Provisional Friday Prayer Leader of Tehran said here Friday the US decision to include the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in the list of international terrorist organizations is another golden page in the IRGC's history. Ayatollah Seyyed Ahmad Khatami added, "As in the nuclear case, the Iranian nation and government would never leave alone their revolutionary offsprings."Two leading US dailies, the Washington Post and the New York Times reported in their Wednesday edition about US officials intention to survey adding the name of Iran's Revolutionary Guards to the list of the international organs involved in terrorist acts.
He said, "The IRGC has truly shined well during the 28-year history of the Islamic Republic of Iran, both in confronting foreign enemies and foiling domestic plots."
Khatami said, "Among the prides of the IRGC we can refer to the late founder of the Islamic Republic's words about the Guard Corps, where he said he was pleased with the IRGC, and that he would never think negatively about them.
He added, "The late Imam also said that there would have been no Islamic Republic of Iran if there were no IRGC; I love the IRGC very dearly; My entire hope lies in IRGC's conduct;" and "There is nothing in the records of the IRGC, save serving Islam."
Ayatollah Khatami said, "Therefore, the US State Department's decision to include IRGC in its list of world terror organs is merely another golden point in the records of IRGC pride.

Here's Ahmadinejad today in all his wisdom expounding again on "Israel as Satan."

IRGH: Doing Allah's shining work--murder, mayhem, destruction.
Meant IRGC, not IRGH.
If it walks like a terrorist, talks like a terrorist and explodes bombs like a terrorist - It must be a duck.
This would be a PC definition.
Another reason why the designation "War on Terror" is wrong.
The Guards are basically just a skim operation like the mafia, but unlike the mafia, are not even that useful in keeping the peace.
Brogadacchio.
joeblough-
"The War On Terroristic Islam" would be more clear.
(Non-terroristic Islam should have no problem with that designation, since it doesn't appply to them.)
lol@topic...
huh?...after the shitfits they threw upon hearing about it??? Even the wind doesn't change directions THIS fast! lol
Nah, not falling for this...nothing less than what's known in psychology circles as "sweet lemon" (opposite of "sour grapes")-here's how it works.
Much like the sour grapes syndrome, where the recipient of bad tidings acts as if it's no big deal, implies it doesn't hurt when it actually does,
"sour grapes" is where something very bitter that cannot be dismissed is greeted as if it's sweet as honey, when it fact it's very bitter, hence, "sweet lemon"...and the subject in question feigns enjoying such status/act.
Lamest variant of reverse psychology on their part I've seen in some time.
lol
correction- the last "sour grapes" was to be "sweet lemon" instead...sorry, got ahead of myself...lol
We should bomb them back to the stone age.
Oh wait, they're already in the stone age.
Only on the whole...but as Giap later admitted our bombing of the infrastructure everyone thought was just "the stone age" (which actually scared the hell out of them)...same thing for such notable nutcase asylums like iran...only on the whole is it the stone age, especially mentality...the key is that it's tenuous at best, and subject to collapse worse than they care to admit, actually they'll never admit to it at all.
Only thing absolute is their mentalities, which really are in the stone age.
They have a lot more to lose than they care to admit (as if they would admit their achilles heel at all).
