I like that. I think Bush should keep approving raids all the way to Tehran!!

[Perdogg]

It's about three years late, but welcome to the party pal!!!!

Iran has been at war with the US since 1979, it's about damn time!

[umgud]

The MSM and Pelosi's gang will spin this as an evil act.

[Mike Darancette]

Bad George, no third term for you. :)

[Anti-Bubba182]

Half the crackpots writing about the raid on the liason office
are calling the office a consulate. Any damn thing to make the US look bad.

Begs the question. Since we have troops in Iraq fighting terrorists, why do troops need Presidential approval before going after suspected terrorists? Because they were Iranian? What other possible terrorists are on the Presidential list that needs approval before going after?

[Earthdweller]

Iran would like nothing better then to screw up progress in Iraq. My guess is it's a top priority.

[VeniVidiVici]

Oh no! Bush approved raids against a government that has promised our death an destruction! How dare he!

I the article it said ...

"The president seems to have placed diplomacy on the back-burner again," Byrd said.

I think the Iranians have been very diplomatic every time they take action to harm our troops. They seemed loud and clear to me. I wonder how that old KKK dude missed that part.

Maybe KKK Byrde have some kind of vested interest in seeing our troops being killed from the actions the Iranians takes.

And? What is the problem? They the Iranian government and Syria are the biggest problem for our troops and Iraq.

[M. Espinola]

It's a safe bet Iranian terrorist agents were behind this economic sabotage. The only way to stop Iranian instigated terror in Iraq is removing the jihad-o-holic bastards in Tehran, the same ones issuing the orders and paying for all of it through exported oil - which up until now, that Iranian crude oil keeps flowing, as does the millions into Islamic terrorism.

a raid on an Iranian government liaison office in northern Iraq, a move that has frayed even further the relations between the two countries.

Apparently this writer at the AP thinks our relationship with Iran would be better off if we let the Iranians go about destroying everything for which we've worked.

I'm having a hard time recalling, so someone please remind me how

1.) the AP isn't a liberal cesspool, and

2.) liberals don't value do-gooder rhetoric over actually getting the job done and protecting lives?

[Jrabbit]

Why is Condi talking to The NY Slimes?

[tomcorn]

I think you may be right...Sooner or later were gonna have a showdown with Iran. Better now than after they get nukes.

[Darkwolf377]

How dare he attack terrorists. You'd think he was president or something...

[stm]

It's high time we start forcefeeding Iran a healthy helping of this:

[Big Horn]

I like that. I think Bush should keep approving raids all the way to Tehran!!
Woopee another one bites the dust.

[tobyhill]

It served two goals, try to draw Iran into a battle and see if Maliki was going to interfere. Under the Constitution the President has 30 days to go to congress if he launches an attack on Iran but any attack must be done in the contents of immediate threat. If congress refuses a resolution then the President must cease military operations but by then Iran could be glass.

[doug from upland]

About time. We should be stopping the supplies at the border by taking them out in Iranian territory.

[CyberAnt]

And .. I read another account which said that this raid TOOK PLACE AS BUSH WAS GIVING HIS SPEECH.

In other words, as Bush was warning Iran and Syria that he was going to challenge their interference in Iraq - the helicopters full of troops were landing in the courtyard of the Embassy in Irbil, and the people inside the Embassy were told (in 3 languages) - SURRENDER OR DIE!

That's the ticket!! Take it to them and make it clear what your intentions are.

I understand a BIGGIE Iranian Islamist was captured in that raid - don't know the guy's name. So our statements about Iran interferring were true - and one of the leaders of the Iranian terrorists was making his home inside the Iranian Embassy in Irbil - cute!

[Cinnamon]

Queen Pelosi will surely conduct a congressional inquiry into this. Did Mr Bush overstep his authority? how dare he take action without cnsulting with Queen Pelosi first!
