Now, U.S. military officials say the decision to go public with the findings has been put on hold for several reasons, including concerns over the reaction from Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — as well as inevitable follow-up questions that would be raised over what the U.S. should do about it.
So we are holding a report back because we are worried how Ahjimanut will react?
Oh for cripes sake....why don't we just conceded the PR field to the enemy and be done with it.
as well as inevitable follow-up questions that would be raised over what the U.S. should do about it.
Words fail me...
Unfortunately Congress (especially in the Senate) is in the process of tying the President's hands and taking his powers away from him where Iraq and mostly Iran are concern so that the President cannot attack unless we are attacked first
IMO .. the games need to be stopped and the White House should lay their cards on the table and say you deal with it congress
What named "official" said this?
I find it odd that Iran is sneaking into Iraq to assasinate U.S. officers in Najaf.
I find it odd that Iranian weapons are turning up in the hands of dead insurgents.
Throughout history, Iranians have been smarter than that. Why provoke President Bush *now*, when he's only going to be in Office for 2 more years?
He's not running for re-election. He doesn't have to do the "popular" thing. If he wants to bomb Iran, then Iran will be bombed, bombed again, and bombed hard a few more times all from a single sentence of our CiC.
So what's Iran's motive?
...and then I think back to the documents that we captured in Zarqawi's safe house (not so "safe" after all) in Iraq. Those documents detailed a plan to kidnap Iranians, kill them, and leave their bodies at the scene of a large insurgent attack inside Iraq in order to implicate Iran...thus drawing Iran into the war against the U.S. and thereby creating a defacto ally of Al Qaeda.
