Iran May Be Helping Iraqis Build Bombs..... and this is NEWS!
What part of “casus belli” does the President not understand?
(Okay, probably neither part.)
Let me help: ACT OF WAR!
Video of evidence:
NO WAY!!!!
If any Brit soldiers are targeted, PM Blair will undoubtedly unseal a tin of whoopass.
It doesn’t matter. Its pretty clear that we have a complete kid glove policy with the Iranians. They are allowed to kill our guys with total impunity. Hell, we can’t even kill Al-Sadr, let alone go after the Iranian military or its government. Sure we rounded up a few of their agents in Iraq, but we’ve never uttered held the Iranian gov’t to account.
George Bush is basically asleep at the wheel on this issue. He may have ideas, possible plans, etc... about Iran but he won’t pull the trigger on them.
OUR military strategy is to cry about what our enemies do to us.

What a revelation! What a light shining in the darknesss! An epiphany! An earth-shattering seredipity!
Oh...wait...every idiot has known this for eons, and the AP is just now giving us ‘breaking news’? Maybe they’ll tell the dim-wit-crats so everyone will be up to speed.
Too bad it took so long for Al Malaki to make a decision to choose freedom of his country of simply Islam and supporting Al Sadr. You would have stability by now. This is one area I do blame Bush for being compassionate. Their is a time to be nice and a time to tell what to do with Al Malaki. The cart came before the horse.
The point is that Iran supplying insurgents was a fairly likely scenario that should have been foreseen by military planners prior to embarking on the war in the first place.
From Iran’s point of view they have an enemy encamped on their flank, of course the obvious action is to leverage their proxies (ie the radical Shiites) to make life difficult for the US. A ten year old playing Age of Empires could have figured that out.
People on this thread seem to have forgotten that all the fleet has just gotten into place.
And that the evidence of Iran’s murderous meddling is becoming more and more deliberately publicized.
And that the seizure of the British personnel needs responding to.
And that the setting of international opinion is a requisite to armed action.
And that action on Iran - even the evident possibility of it - is going to assuredly affect oil prices. Why should the President or anyone else deliberately raise oil prices prior to an attack by making noisy threats?
That would just give the Democrats another attack theme
Deliberate and resolute actions, not words, are needed. And they are surely in the works - most likely coming sooner rather than later.
