They have a basij force of 10 million, some as young as 12 years old, that are trained to run at machine guns armed with nothing but a quran.

If they send enough children at American guns eventually the Americans will run out of ammunition.

It worked durring the Iran-Iraq war.

Dear Member,

You are wrong in your last statement. This is even admitted by no other than the Grand Ayatollah Khomeni. The Iraqis found out that besides scatterable mines from helicopters (ie Iraq bought millions of these footpoppers from Italy) that the Russian HIND helicopters would wreak havoc on human wave assaults.

Dear Member,

True, SA has Red Sea seaports. But they are very limited in their ability. Most are for passenger loading and unloading. The heavy stuff comes through the Persian Gulf ports. Also most of Saudi Arabia population, oil refinery and oil tanker loading is on the east cost of SA.

Last, the big fear that the SA and the US Navy has are so called "bobbing" floating contact mines that they have developed. The Italians first developed them in WW2 and they are designed to bob near the surface for a while then sink 30 meters or more for a while then rebob near the surface. They play play h*ll with standard minesweeping measures. Sort of like a net with fishhooks in it to sea traffic or the ocean equivilent of the plastic foot popper AP mine.

That's what lead to the eventual stalemate after many successfull human wave attacks and why the Iranian death toll was in the millions. Nothing like sending your 13 year olds unarmed against HIND helicopters to do allah's will huh?

It was more a statement on the true barbarism of the Iranian regime than a successfull tactic against American power.

Yeh, but we got one things the Iraqis didnt. B-52s with cluster munitions.
