The Iraq Study Group’s call for negotiations with Iran and Syria as “a way forward” has been widely derided. It is, abjectly, a return to September 10th thinking — to the days when terror masters like Yasser Arafat were feted as statesmen at White House galas, when terror organizations like al Qaeda operated with impunity from well-known safe havens, and when our government’s idea of countering atrocities was the filing of indictments against a handful of savages.
IRAN, HEZBOLLAH & AL QAEDA
Mohamed was ultimately charged with participation in al Qaeda’s war against the United States. When he pled guilty in 2000, among the startling revelations he made was the following:
I was aware of certain contacts between al Qaeda and al Jihad organization, on one side, and Iran and Hezbollah on the other side. I arranged security for a meeting in the Sudan between [Imad Mugniyah], Hezbollah’s chief, and Bin Laden. Hezbollah provided explosives training for al Qaeda and al Jihad. Iran supplied Egyptian Jihad with weapons. Iran also used Hezbollah to supply explosives that were disguised to look like rocks.

If he could do the necessary research, why couldn't the Iran Surrender Group do it, why are they ignoring Iran's link to terrorism and urging that we "negotiate" (read SURRENDER) to the terrorists?
The IRS is urging not only our withdrawal from Iraq, but that we basically surrender to the terrorists and give up the War on Terror.
"DEATH TO AMERICA
In a startling October 2005 speech at Iran’s annual “World Without Zionism” conference, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told his audience, “We are in the process of an historical war between the World of Arrogance and the Islamic world, and this war has been going on for hundreds of years.”
Did the IRS know this, and they think we can "negotiate"?!
ISG, not IRS -- but the rest is entirely correct.
Fascinating.
This shouldn't come as a great surprise either:
Iran Reacts Favorably to the Baker-Hamilton Plan

The Iraq Surrender Group legitimized "surrender to the terrorists" as an acceptable option.
ANY SANE American should reject it.
An excellent article going through the history of Iran links to terrorism and Al Qaeda, to the present.
That pretty much says it all about the ISG.
" But, the “realist” (James Baker) doyen puttered, if we invite them (Iran)to negotiate about Iraq’s future, and they demur, why, we’ll expose their intransigence for all the world to see".
Holy Pete James, what have attempts to negotiate with Tehran gotten the free world, including the EU and the UN, so far - zip, zip and doda.
What the heck is left to "expose"?
We use their mentality against them. "Mr. Iranian President, accept our envoy carrying this brief case so we can provide you an up to date schedule of our departure from Iraq/Afghanistan.
Hand over the briefcase, our lackey stares stupidly at his fearless leader, and they explode into a plasma ball consuming everything in it's path for about 20 klicks, making Tehran a hell hole for about fifty years.
Too bad, so sad, whah.

Something to rememeber...

Even the ISG admits that "our limited contacts with Iran's government lead us to believe that its leaders are likely to say they will not participate in diplomatic efforts to support stability in Iraq." So how can we possibly persuade the Iranians to help?
Never fear, there is an answer. Agence France-Presse reports:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has warned Western leaders to follow the path of God or "vanish from the face of the earth.
These oppressive countries are angry with us . . . a nation that on the other side of the globe has risen up and proved the shallowness of their power," Ahmadinejad said in a speech in the northern town of Ramsar, the semi-official news agency Mehr reported Wednesday.
"They are angry with our nation. But we tell them 'so be it and die from this anger.' Rest assured that if you do not respond to the divine call, you will die soon and vanish from the face of the earth," he said.
Get right with God and the mullahs will be eating out of our hands. Yes, it's that simple! Here's hoping that in the first 100 hours of the new Congress, Speaker Pelosi introduces the Response to the Divine Call Act of 2007.
There have always been many amongst us who would live as slaves rather than fight.
It is the fighting spirit of the few who give us our freedom.
