Iran military says Katrina showed U.S. could be turned into "war zone"

Topics:

Iran's Revolutionary Guards have been following closely the way the United States government has been handling Hurricane Katrina, and drawing strategic conclusions from it.

In remarks that appeared on Ansar-e Hezbollah website on Sunday, a top official of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) said the devastating hurricane had exposed America's vulnerabilities.

"The mismanagement and the mishandling of the acute psychological problems brought about by Hurricane Katrina clearly showed that others can, at any given time, create a devastated war-zone in any part of the U.S.", Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri, the official spokesman of the IRGC, said.

"If the U.S. attacks Iran, each of America's states will face a crisis the size of Katrina", he said, referring to the massive hurricane which hit the southern coast of the United States. "The smallest mistake by America in this regard will result in every single state in that country turning into a disaster zone".

"How could the White House, which is impotent in the face of a storm and a natural disaster, enter a military conflict with the powerful Islamic Republic of Iran, particularly with the precious experience that we gained in the eight-year war with Iraq?" he said.

Chad at In The Bullpen has more... As a reader at ITBP writes, "America has a ludicrously long fuse, but once it is burnt, we are explosive. I don't think Iran knows who they are (messing - 'explicative deleted') with.

As suggested by Chad's reader, there's quite a long list of countries that have failed to understand America's resolve and capabilities, once awakened. Perhaps Iran should ask Japan and Nazi Germany(another fascist dictatorship) what happened to them when they thought that catching America asleep or unprepared!

It appears that Iran places too much credence in the American mainstream media's view of America.
