Oh my gosh! I am sooo surprised! Iran and Syria, working together? My, my. I sure hope the interrogators were very pleasant and polite to get this information. We certainly wouldn't want to upset someone like this, who I am sure just couldn't wait to give us this important ( albeit surprising) information.
I wonder if he talked to Senator Kennedy before he was interrogated?
i'M SHOCKED !!!! ....I would have never imagined anything like that....and deeply saddened
Thanks for the post.
"The U.S. military has said Jaish Muhammad appears to be an umbrella group for former Iraqi intelligence agents, army officers, security officials and members of Saddam's Baath Party."
Not tooting my horn, believe me, but I have been sayings this for the past few months at this forum on Iraqi postings.
What I did not know is this particular group where the interface between general Izzat el Douri and his Intel general staff that escape to Syria days after the war was lost. Now it is all starting to come to a head.
Also Allawi's comment about "his patience is running out",
could be a message taken two ways or more. My thoughts.
1) it is a simple statement of anger with no way to back it up.......since Iraq does not have an effective figthing force yet.
2). it is an indication that there may be an agreement between the IIG and US/Britain, to reverse the earlier wish of the IIG and the first temp Iraqi government that was put in place by Bremmer and company, to not allow any Iraqi officers back into the fold if they had "blood on their" hand, now to be given the go ahead to sign up if they renounce their Baathist affilition, thereby quickly swelling the ranks of the new Iraqi Army with an experienced officer corps. that will lead to a rapid recruitement of new troops.
This may play out to be quite significant. Then again, perhaps there is nothing more to it then what is indicated in the article. Yet another bozo captured.
I'll let my tagline do my talking for me.
Ok, we've known that Iran and Syria have been involved all along. So what are we gonna do about it?
O...k...A...Y.
So between jet setting between Syria and having tea with the Supreme leader of Iran when did the good colonel meet with Rober Taylor, Kim Jung Il, and the ghost of Mao Tse Tung.
I don't think the terrorist need to import weapons or car bombs from anywhere else.
Ping
This is a high stakes poker game. Both Iran and Syria feel that our resolve will be hampered by public outcry should we attempt to do anything about this.
As Gomer Pyle used to say, "Surprise, surprise, surprise!"
