Dude…those are goats in that IRGC speed boat. The same type of boat that was used to kidnap the British sailors (that story was the topic of the very first Bashman ever made, heh heh…).

Evidently, according to this from MEMRI blog, the IRGC is a major economic force in the black market.

Nooooo! I am shocked I tell you, shocked.

These particular goats are headed for Ahmadinejad’s harem. He found that those German Shepherds wouldn’t yield like a nice Yemeni goat.

Smuggling is a major activity of the Revolutionary Guards and an important source of lucrative income. In various articles, we have highlighted in the past the protection the Revolutionary Guards have provided to oil smugglers from Iraq to Iran. Using a variety of rickety boats the smugglers have been responsible for the thorough pollution of Shatt-al-Arab, the major waterway which separates Iraq from Iran, and which was historically a major source of water for both drinking and irrigation.

The five photos published below were made available exclusively to www.memrieconomicblog.org by a visitor to Khasab Harbor in the Sultanate of Oman over the weekend. They dramatize just one aspect of the smuggling activities of the Revolutionary Guards. The speedboats seen in the photographs are the kind that were used in the kidnapping of British sailors and marines in Shatt-al-Arab in 2007 or the reckless harassment of three US warships — cruiser USS Port Royal, destroyer USS Hopper and frigate USS Ingraham.

Nods to LGF.
