Iran threats re Israel: please sort that out, dear Ayatollahs

There were more than two threats this side of the year, but I will choose only two to make the point. Only about six months ago, one of the ranking Iranians issued one:

“Syria’s response to the recent aggression of the Zionist regime against this country will send this regime into a coma,” Brig. Gen. Masoud Jazayeri, the deputy chairman of the Iranian Armed Forces, said on Saturday.
To start with, it was made in the name of Syria for some reason, but anyway it's already six months and the only way we are going to become comatose is from the boredom of waiting.

More recently, another Iranian dignitary offered an updated version:
Iran’s chief of staff Hassan Firouzabadi was quoted by Israel’s Channel 2 Wednesday declaring that “if the US attacks, the Zionists will burn”
The Ayatollahs should make some order in the sequence of the threats their minions issue. Technically it doesn't make a lot of sense to knock your rival into a coma and then burn him/her. Where is the enjoyment of it?

And another thing: the threats are issued by people whose exterior by itself is more frightening than any threats they invent. Take the first threat, about the coma, it was issued by this character:


And the second one by an even more impressive character:


I submit that that the fright value of a threat shouldn't be exceeded by the fright value of its carrier, otherwise there is no sense in making the threat in the first place. The addressee will simply not get it, being mesmerized by the view as he/she definitely is in this case.

'Ere Goon, speaking personally, aza-Zionist, I'm quivering. These bearded butch mullah henchmen make me panic.

Don't know about you, but I'm packin up, see. Packin up a bunch of hardware (and software), that can turn turf into anti-matter. See, when I'm panicked, as we Zionists are prone to, on the whole that is, I get impulsive - Aza Zionst that is.

What's with these guys beards, they look like they need to see a veterinarian.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

They need - and urgently.

I love the pancake "saucer" hat. Doesn't enhance his fearsomeness, however.

Isn't he a darling?

SnoopyTheGoon said...

A vet, indeed. Mr. Goon even has one of those he could dispatch. Maybe.

Yeah, an the said vet may even happen to have a pill or two to lessen these guys' Islamic zeal. At least temporary.
