Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Brigadier General Hossein Salami: US Aircraft Carriers in Persian Gulf Nothing More Than "Rusty Iron"

According to Iran's Fars News Agency (http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9104250358), the Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Brigadier General Hossein Salami, has gone on record as saying:

"IRGC members are never intimidated by the hugeness of the aircraft carriers and roaring of the missiles of the US and trans-regional enemies and these equipments are nothing more than rusty iron in their eyes."

And that's not all. According to Brigadier General Salami, the current US build-up in the Persian Gulf is being undertaken because sending troops home from Iraq would "allow its depressed and angry soldiers to join the occupy wall street movement.

Does Salami actually believe this baloney? Are all of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps's commanders lunatics?

    Sadly and worryingly the answer may be "Yes".
    It is always deeply troubling when one perceives those with power - political or military - who come to believe their own rhetoric.
