11 Days to Wipe Out Israel Updated

This is an update to this post from Pastorius. Seems there may be conflicting translations on what exactly was meant by "in 11 days".

from Gateway Pundit:

Iranian General: "It Will Take Us 11 Days to Wipe Out Israel" (Video)

A German TV station yesterday aired video of Iranian Army General Commander Ataollah Salehi claiming that, "It Will Take Us 11 Days 'To Wipe Israel Out of Existence."They obviously have put some thought into it:




Yid with Lid reported this story posted at MEMRI:

"I Do Not Think We Will Need More Than 11 Days to Wipe Israel Out Of
Existence"

Voiceover: "Nothing can prevent Iranian missiles from targeting the heart of Israel, if Iran is subjected to a military strike by Israel. This was the response of the Iranian military commanders to the Israeli statements about a possible military strike against Iran, because of its insistence on obtaining nuclear energy. Yet an [Israeli] attack seems improbable to the Iranians, because Tel Aviv does not have the ability to go through a war with Tehran."

Iranian Chief-of-Staff General Hassan Firouzabadi: "We are fully prepared to confront any attack that would threaten the interests of Iran. We have sufficient means and the necessary force to defend our territory."

General Ataollah Salehi, general commander of the Iranian army: "The truth is that Israel does not have the courage to attack us. If we are subjected to any attack by Israel, I do not think we will need more than 11 days to wipe Israel out of existence."

Yesterday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also called for the end of Israel during his campaign speech.

Scary/strange is I have known an Iranian university student who seems altogether normal, until you question her government. Then she becomes a scary angry alien. That reporter put in prison by Iran? "She was a spy! She was an informer!" Etc., etc. I think many young Iranians actually buy into their own government propaganda. Probably the only populace who actually defends their own government's idiocy.

Though you have to wonder if she is just scared to speak out against her gov't, fearing it's tentacles may be long.

I am an Israelite Muslim, yes you heard that right. I believe in Palestinian rights but also recognize that Israelites have a place in the Holy Land. Read more at my blog http://josephleon9.blogspot.com/
