Based on reporting by Rick Moran and Bill Roggio it is clear the recent attack on a US outpost in Iraq by attackers disguised as Americans was actually an act of war by Iran:
The American Forces Information Service provides the details of the attack in Karbala. Based on the sophisticated nature of the raid, as well as the response, or cryptic non-responses, from multiple military and intelligence sources, this raid appears to have been directed and executed by the Qods Force branch of the Iranian Republican Guard Corps. My sources agreed this is far to sophisticated an operation for the Mahdi Army or Badr Corps, while al-Qaeda in Iraq would have a difficult time mounting such an operation in the Shia south. “The Karbala Government Center raid the other day was a little too professional for JAM [Jaish al-Mahdi, or the Mahdi Army],” according to a military source.
This raid required specific intelligence, in depth training for the agents to pass as American troops, resources to provide for weapons, vehicles, uniforms, identification, radios and other items needed to successfully carry out the mission.
Rick notes our forces were handcuffed, marched away and executed. This is a clear act of war by Iran. This was not defensive. And I really do not want to hear about how US policy forced Iran to attack us because there was nothing forcing them to do this. The Democrats better prepare the wells of the Senate and House - because it is time for them to make their stand. Are they going to avenge the unprovoked attack on our military? Our people were there to keep the peace and try and stop the bloodshed. But Iranians came across and pretended to be Americans.
We are at war with Iran. It is now only a question of how long Congress and America take to wake up to this fact. Think of what they could have done with a small nuclear device? Time is up for the Mad Mullahs and Ahmedinejad the “Final Saviour”.

Nope.
Time for someone else to lead the charge against Iran. US opened the doors in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Is there another posting to give me more background on this?
Need more evidence than this as a basis for a declaration of war.
This is a deliberate act of war and if the democrat party gave a damn about this country and it's military they'd be demanding action from the WH. Then Bush could address a Joint Session and ask for a declaration of war. But the democrats don;t care and Bush's hands are still tied.
I wish this story could be better vetted and then widely circulated. No way the American people would let Washington just sit on this...if they knew about it.
..since 1979
Let's see...if Nancy Pelosi's grandson had been one of the Ameicans executed, then maybe she'd demand action. But that's not likely.
not until CNN tells America it needs to invade Venezuela, North Korea, and/or Iran...
...and we still owe them BIG!
I think Jane Fonda should leave the charge. After all, she blames us for the atrocities in Cambodia instead of blaming the murderours Kmer Rouge, her pals.
He needs to do that anyway. Let them refuse, if they must.
Nope.
No Democrate is killed in attack. US is not in war.
You're absolutely right. This has been a long time coming. They've been at war with us since 1979 and it's time we took them up on their challenges. But I don't want any of this nation building crap when we're finished...they can clean up their own mess.
Well, we'll wait and see what we can continue to do diplomatically, while the other side presses on with their military and terrorist operations...
Sometimes I really have to sit back and be amazed by this stuff...
All I know is that we could very well make a whole heck of a lot of problems go away, permanently...
Honestly what is anyone else "really" going to do about it if we do???
Go to the link and start exploring that site and other referenced sites.
huh?
there is no one out there.
who did you have in mind? nato? UN?- now there is a joke
