Getting Credit for Blowing up Revolutionary Guards? Priceless

Fee-fi-fo-fum… I smell the hand of the Great Say-Tun.

“Based on the lat­est infor­ma­tion… between 30 to 35 peo­ple, includ­ing mil­i­tary offi­cers, tribal lead­ers and local cit­i­zens, have been mar­tyred in the attack,” — how many vir­gins is that?

“Based on the lat­est infor­ma­tion… between 30 to 35 peo­ple, includ­ing mil­i­tary offi­cers, tribal lead­ers and local cit­i­zens, have been mar­tyred in the attack,”

Since we get credit for every­thing else that hap­pens in Iran, does that make Mahmoud Ahmadinejad our pup­pet a pup­pet of the Great Satan?

And, while we’re at it, 30 to 35 mar­tyrs?  How many vir­gins is that?  My vir­gin cal­cu­la­tor is on the fritz.   Also how is it that when some­body else gets blown up the sui­cide bomber is the mar­tyr, but when an offi­cial of the Great Islamic Republic gets blown up the vic­tim tar­get is the martyr?

Pretty selec­tive explosives.
