Ahmad Hamzeh<\/em><\/strong> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

An Iranian lawmaker, Ahmad Hamzeh\ndeclared a bounty on President Trump\u2019s head Tuesday during a speech to\nparliament in Tehran. Ahmad Hamzeh said: \u201cOn behalf of the people of Kerman\nprovince, we will pay a $3 million reward in cash to whoever kills Trump\u201d. The\ncity of Kerman was the hometown of Gen. Qassem Suleimani, who was killed in a\nU.S. airstrike on Jan. 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To you Ahmad Hamzeh.<\/em><\/strong> I\u2019ll make it clear for your mangy rug-faced, death-seeking, theocratic terrorist ass. One of our most inexpensive missiles killed your beloved Suleimani. It didn\u2019t cost $3 million. No,\u2026 it only cost us $117,000, and your best general was incinerated with great precision. You stupid Persians just don\u2019t get it do you,\u2026 you are controlled by your emotions because of your theocracy, not rationality. You don\u2019t have a people that have a government; you have a government religion that uses a people. If you don\u2019t know the difference your doomed to the same fate as Suleimani because Iran\u2019s theocratic notions, and emotions will always cause you to do irrational, moronic things. See below for information about the $117,000 Hellfire Missile (I call it the heartbreaker).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahmad Hamzeh<\/strong> wrote a book called \u201cIn the Path of Hizbullah\u201d. In that book Hamzeh opines that Hezbollah emerged because of 4 key Middle Eastern events starting in 1943. They allegedly are: Identity Crisis and Persecution, Structural Imbalance, Military Defeat, and Demonstration Effect (Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolution).<\/strong> In my opinion I believe he is only partly correct. He loves his theocracy, and Hezbollah but the same events are true for ISIS, PLO, and all the variant Middle East terrorist organizations.<\/em> In fact, these events began long before 1943 but Hamzeh won\u2019t speak of it because they want all Middle Eastern nations to come over to the dark side,\u2026 Fundamentalist Shia Muslim Identity (yea, I said it).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Real History:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil was discovered in the Middle East\nin 1908 (think French Foreign Legion in Algeria, England\u2019s push for Middle\nEastern oil grab, and decline of the Ottoman Empire from 1876-1908). In 1908 an\nOttoman faction called the \u201cYoung Turks\u201d revolted for reforms. Foreign\nrelations under the \u201cYoung Turks\u201d led to disaster because they backed Germany\nin WW1 (and later during WW2). As part of the proposed Peace Settlement,\nBritain annexed Cyprus, and claimed Egypt as a protectorate. By 1920 the \u201cTreaty\nof S\u00e8vres\u201d divided much of the Middle East into various regions we now know as\nSyria, Lebanon, Iraq, Turkey, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Algeria, Bosnia,\nSerbia, Cyprus, the Balkans, etc. This division was based on how the entire\nregion could be divided amongst the winning foreign powers France, Russia, Italy,\nBritain, etc. The divided regions were divided by map lines and not tribal\nfactions (Shia, Sunni, Christian, etc.). This led to cascading conflicts in the\nentire region from Bosnia to Oman. These cascading events are the root of every\nconflict that has erupted from 1908 until present. And it all started with crude\noil.<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1927 oil was discovered in Iraq. In 1933 oil was\ndiscovered in Saudi Arabia. In 1938 the Mullahs backed Germany again. In 1943\nautonomous regions such as Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq were given Independence. In\n1948 Israel was granted Statehood in Palestine from Britain. In 1951 the\nlargest oil deposit was found in Saudi Arabia. \nIn 1973 there was an oil embargo (Nov. 1973-May 1974). In 1975\nTerrorists attacked Saudi oil ministers. In 1978 the U.S. backed Shah of Iran\nwas overthrown and began the Iran Revolution. In 1979 Saddam Hussein became\nIraq\u2019s 5th<\/sup> president under the Ba\u2019ath Socialist Party, and Iran\nkidnapped 52 U.S. hostages during an embassy takeover. In 1980 the U.S. backed\nIraq began an 8 year war with Iran (and won). In 1990 Iraq invaded Kuwait for\nits oil reserves. In 1991 The U.S. led coalition forces caused Saddam Hussein\nto retreat back to Iraq (igniting dozens of oil wells in the process). In 2001\nSaudi Arabian terrorists attacked the world trade center destroying the Twin\nTowers, and igniting a decades-long war in the Middle East that rages on to\nthis day. Again,\u2026 it all started with crude oil.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AGM-114 Hellfire Missile<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The AGM-114 Hellfire<\/em><\/strong> is an air-to-surface missile<\/a> (ASM) first developed for anti-armor<\/a> use, but later models were developed for precision drone strikes<\/a> against other target types, and have been used in a number of targeted killings<\/a> of high-profile individuals (like Suleimani). The cost is $117,000. It was originally developed under the name Heliborne, Laser, Fire and Forget Missile, which led to the colloquial name “Hellfire” ultimately becoming the missile’s formal name. It has multi-mission, multi-target precision-strike ability, and can be launched from multiple air, sea, and ground platforms, including the Predator drone<\/a>. The Hellfire missile is the primary 100-pound (45\u00a0kg) class air-to-ground precision weapon for the armed forces of the United States and many other nations.
