Fred deserves Saddam

Yo Fred.

Before calling these gentlemen puppets and playboys, you should realize they were the ones who saved our country's a** when there was nothing else to stop Saddam's thugs, and they themselves were under constant threat of prison and execution without trial by their own government.

Other countries would have loved to get the chance to get access to the technology and training that we had access to. Add to that the incredible talent and motivation of these people you put down, and that explains the unpleasant surprise of all those who told Saddam Iran's air force won't be able to perform. Well, as we say in farsi, KOOR KHOONDAND, and so did you. Maybe you would have been fine for Iraq to take over the richest part of our country and rape more people, but I sure as hell wouldn't. That is why I appreciate and am proud of these people and will teach my children to do the same.

I suggest you go learn about the history of your country and those who sacrificed so much for it before you consider writing such BS. Shame on you and all those who are as unappreciative as you, you deserve no better than the crap we have in power today.

Be Fair.

Puppets...

Whatever shah wanted, from arms to nuclear reactors, from refrigerators to jet planes, he could easily receive from america. He was in charge of his region with no war ships or planes in the vicinity. Saddam or any other arab country could not touch iran. Nixon is said to have signed presidential order placing iran above "any" country for receiving most sophisticated equipment and arms.

Now, considering that, who was whose puppet? If there was any puppet, it seems like west was shah's puppet, not the other way around.

Compare that to IRI, it appears that IRI is a puppet of arabs and arab culture. Anywhere you look arabs are screwing iran and iranians thru their agents, the IRI leaders, while IRI leaders keep longing for arab affection. Iran is surrounded by coalition ships and planes, and still IRI leaders are forcing iranians to kiss arabs' asses and culture round the clock for the past 29 years. I wonder how many arab asses iranians need to kiss for IRI leaders to be satisfied and content. Even on the iranian flag there is nothing but praise for arab culture.

According to CNN, iran paid $12,000 to every arab family in Lebanon who lost his home in last year's conflict, totaling to $380,000,000. The money was stolen from iranian children to help arabs, while needs of iranian children were ignored and forced them to skip school to beg on the streets for as little as $0.01, or selling Fal-e-Hafez for $0.05, or selling socks for $0.10, etc. to fill their tiny stomachs.

According to CNN, iran is spending for arabs in Iraq, between $1 to $3 million every day. This is stolen from iranian teenagers, while iranian teenage girls are forced to sell their bodies in the streets according to arab culture (aka, sigheh) for $200 per month (source CBC), to be able to survive financially.

Iran spends an untold amount of money to support Palestinians. The money is stolen from iranian poor and needy whose youngsters, as young as 14 years old, are sold to arab sheikdoms for prostitution based on arab culture, for as little as $10 a session (source CBC), to be able to continue their miserable lives.

Now, if IRI is not the biggest puppet of arabs and arab culture, I do not know what puppet means.

Make sure that you watch PBS news-hour of friday 2/11/08 to see how arabs feel about their puppet IRI in return for all iranian favors, from cash to flesh.

The shah does not become a

The shah does not become a puppet because YOU think he was. You are an ignorant who are brainwashed by other ignorants. . You are additionally a cheap shot asshole who discredits those pilots. The same pilots who joined the pasdars in the war against Iraq, and did so after being imprisoned, tortured and their compatriots executed by the IRI. . You are a nobody and a nothing. Your opinion is worthless.

When shah bought the F-14's, he sold those clean cuts (who excite you much) to the US, just like everything else. Those playboys were just puppets in the hands of Americans and Israelis. And as for the pasdars, I don't give a damn. They are just as dirty as the rest.

Iran should move in a new

Iran should move in a new direction. I don't know what makes some of you proud about this clip. This is US technology, the made these air crafts, they should be proud of their product and rightfuly they are. America is a great nation. but are a great nation??? I don't think we are a great nation. we are a selflish nation. The Shah as kicked out of Iran becuase he was simply out of touch with his nation, and the current Iranian regime has no plan for the future of the Iranian nation, but we shouldn't blame everything on the Government. Iran's government today is atleast independant, eventhough it simply put a bad form of government, but definitely better than Shah's pupet government. Let us learn from American people how to be great. America is not great becaus of it's corrupt government, America is great because it's people are honest and hardworking. Iranians are selfish and they want everything for themselves. Someone has to tell you iranians that you deserve we you got.

Re: Fred

You must have been offended that I insulted your dirty "baraadare pasdar". The difference between those clean cut personel you see in this video and your dirty pasdar, is that one was trained to defend Iran from foreign aggression and perhaps even got executed by your "baraadareh pasdar", the other, your dirty pasdar, is trained to surpress and if necessary bomb his own people.

Now if this is an idea that exites you, just google the words "iran" and "arrest"; you'll find plenty of other videos you can watch to get yourself exited.

Jamshid, If you get exited

Jamshid,

If you get exited seeing good looking pilots climbing up US made fighter jets, why don't you just watch the movie Top Gun and forget about these video clips.

Wow!

Thank you Darius. This is a great video. Many of those we saw in the video were imprisoned and others executed by the IRI.

This was only the first generation modern Iranian air force which was one of the best in the world. Could you imagine what the second generation could be?

I once saw the photo of a pasdar pilot with a beard and looking dirty climbing up a US made fighter jet. Made me throw up.

Thanks for the links too.

Re: Markux

There is plenty of room for everyone in here. It's not like one suject takes up the room of the other. Those who are interested in "Imperial Iranian Airforce", go to the appropriate website refered by Mr Kadivar, and those who are not interested, don't.
It's like walking to a party, with different circles talking about different subjects, according to their interest, and you are sticking your neck in, and telling them to change the subject, because you deem it as "swallowing vomit".
C'mon man...democracy is tolerating the ideas we hate.
(But then again, you are free to express yourself too, and you are not really taking my space)

Damn,...did I just tell myself off?! :-)

who the hell are you and what's your game

who do you represent and what's you angle. All this Imperial this and that resurrection. Let move away from anything imperial. Those who go back in time swallow their our own vomit.

Highly Recommended Reading ( In French)

I would highly recommend anyone interested in an objective account on life in the Iranian Imperial Airforcein general but also on the incredible story of an Iranian Colonel Bidgoli Rad who was also a War Veteran of the Iran Iraq War to absolutely Read this very sincere and exciting story on how he survived it all:

 //www.amazon.fr/Nocturne-iranien-M%C3%A9moires-imp%C3%A9riale-iranienne/dp/2296017339/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199988077&sr=8-1

It could also be a very exciting movie script all the more that it is a TRUE Story.

It is written with a great deal of courage but also humor with the help of a French Journalist Claudine Monin-Krijan.

The story was first noticed by a French War Correspondent Patrick Bourrat

//news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/2598799.stm 

who unfortunately died in 2003 in Kuwait during the coverage of US military manouevers during the US Led Iraq Invasion.

Truly incredible Story and again very readeable.
