Yeah, they "figured it out" even after numerous public statements by DC denizens including Bill Clinton's secretary of state Warren Christopher. The Iranian propaganda machine has been predicting the "last helicopter" scenario for both Iraq and Afghanistan for a good few years running.
Iran is at war with America since 1979 and Americans have ignored it. This isnt news to me since the Iranians took the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.
In 2011, with numerous Iranian sponsored attacks worldwide and with thousands of American service personnel and citizens killed, official Washington, DC finally figures THIS out?!?!
Good grief, what alternative dimension or quadrant of the universe do these people live?
Before the Germans attacked Russia on 22 June 1941, the American Left was doing everything it could to sabotage the Allied war effort prior to the start of Operation BARBARROSA. Why? Because of the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact concluded by Foreign Ministers Ribbentrop and Molotov.
After the initial success of BARBARROSA attack and the subsequent debacle for the Red Army and Air Force, the American Left did an instantaneous 180 degree turn and totally supported the Allied war effort — even arguing America wasn't doing enough to save the Communists under Joseph Stalin.
After WW2 was over and Germany and Japan were defeated, the American Left returned to parroting the Communist Party line. They sabotaged the fight against the communist takeover in China (1949), they sabotaged the defense of South Korea by UN forces against North Korean aggression (1950-1953). As the Cold War continued the American Left opposed U.S. forces in any fight against The Evil Empire or its proxies.
The American Left has a lot of blood on there hands — American and foreign — from its support of communists and communist states around the world. The American Left is now completely joined at the hip to the Islamofascists we are fighting in the Middle East and their enablers here in the U.S. The American Left is pure evil.
