ABC has come out with an exclusive showing smoking-gun evidence of Iranian support for terrorist in Iraq.... anyone showing surprise here?
U.S. officials say they have found smoking-gun evidence of Iranian support for terrorists in Iraq: brand-new weapons fresh from Iranian factories. According to a senior defense official, coalition forces have recently seized Iranian-made weapons and munitions that bear manufacturing dates in 2006.Are you starting to get that warm, fuzzy feeling yet?
This suggests, say the sources, that the material is going directly from Iranian factories to Shia militias, rather than taking a roundabout path through the black market. "There is no way this could be done without (Iranian) government approval," says a senior official.
So for those people (Iraq Study Group) that propose we deal or negotiate with Iran about security in Iraq, I would suggest you get your heads out of your asses.
Iranian-made munitions found in Iraq include advanced IEDs designed to pierce armor and anti-tank weapons. U.S. intelligence believes the weapons have been supplied to Iraq's growing Shia militias from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, which is also believed to be training Iraqi militia fighters in Iran.
Evidence is mounting, too, that the most powerful militia in Iraq, Moktada al-Sadr's Mahdi army, is receiving training support from the Iranian-backed terrorists of Hezbollah.
Two senior U.S. defense officials confirmed to ABC News earlier reports that fighters from the Mahdi army have traveled to Lebanon to receive training from Hezbollah.
So, correct me if I am wrong, anyone, but isn't this sort of like sticking your hand into a fire to treat a burn???
Brian over at Iowa Voice is saying the same thing I said here and here. If everyone would have left Israel alone, Hizbullah wouldn't be a problem NOW in Iraq or in Lebanon, courtesy of? You guessed it!!!! IRAN.
In my minds eye we should deal with Iran, just not in the ways that the liberal Dems and the Study Group is proposing. My idea of dealing with Iran is to take down the regime of the lunatic, Ahmadinejad. This idiot is deliberately adding fuel to the fire in Iraq to force us to negotiate with him, to force our hand into asking him for help.
His help is now being proven. He is HELPING to destabilize Iraq. He is HELPING to cause countless deaths.
I am with Riehl World View on this one:
This should be dealt with as an act of war and a few cruise missiles into some number of weapons factories would seem to me to be a proportional response. Or maybe we can send Jim Baker over to help carry Iranian weapons into Iraq.
Couldn't have said it better myself. So what say you Baker? Willing to do it?
On a side note, since I am dealing with anti-semitic jagoffs here, you MUST check out Woman Honor Thyself and take a look at her Doozie of the daY: Dhimmi Carter piece. Talk about disgusting behavior!!!!
