I'm stunned this is in the NYT; it's probably the only newsworthy thing they've reported in a month of Sundays.
We have solid evidence since years,but if it needs a "smokin' gun" to get hard on Iran, so shall it be.
Punish them for their support of terror, end their reign of fear and stop their rush to nuclear weapons!
So...what are we gonna do except gripe about it? Our future government is worried about big oil and the enviroment.
Time to target Amaduncijabberwakki.
This guy has had a lot of contact with Pres Bush, PM Blair as well as being a high official in the current Iraqi government.
How does the Iranians being in his compound bode for him in the future?
BTTT
The spin is that the war in Iraq is "taking too long" but the war against Saddam is over. It was followed soon after by a separate war. Just as the Cold War followed on the heels of WWII and WWII sprang up as a result of WWI.
Iran was preparing for it the moment we started planning to remove Saddam from power. Iran has been involved for several years already in supplying, training, and organizing insurgents against us, as well as making many, many allied government plants - and we ain't talking about ferns.
Their meddling to kill our men is declaration of war, even in our times. What other excuse do we need to bomb their facilities into the dark ages?
I'm sick to death of stories like this. "Having proof" means jack. We either do something about it or we don't. This isn't a debating society. If we're not gonna do a damn thing about it, it would be less damaging to our honor to just keep our mouths shut and pretend we don't know anything about Iran's involvement (like how Clinton approached terrorism in general, in the 1990s). These recurrent, impotent statements that we "have proof" of Iran's involvement (as if anyone sincerely has doubts) have only one effect: they make us a laughingstock.
"..Iranians and Iraqi militiamen.."
Are they the same as terrorists? If so, then say so.
If we plan on stopping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon then we are going to have to use military force against them. It's up to us and Israel because no one else is going to support anything that's effective. We aren't going to get any support for meaningful sanctions and we won't get any support to stop them with military force. We have to decide what's better, a nuclear Iran or war with Iran. I'm getting sick of all the useless talk and threats. I'm not saying war with Iran would be a walk in the park but it's the only alternative to a nuclear Iran so we need to decide which is better.
linked individuals and locations with criminal activities against Iraqi civilians, security forces and coalition force personnel."
When the F*CK are we going to level their karma - and their cities?
the nyt simply loves a civilian defering military general's report... it only means the clueless civilians are in control and the military deresponsibilized like the French army...
Would this be linked to the article from last week about US Forces capturing several Iranian military types INSIDE Iraq???
WOW!!!
No kidding!!
What a surprise!!!
All along I thought they were getting aid from the Norweigans!!
