Blair Suspects Iran's Hand in Iraq Attacks
Guardian Unlimited ^ | April 5, 2007 | Mark Oliver

Tony Blair today warned that "elements of the Iranian regime" were arming insurgents in Iraq after it was confirmed four British troops were killed in Basra last night. He said: "The general picture, as I have said before, is that there are elements of the Iranian regime that are backing, financing, arming and supporting terrorism in Iraq."

Well, Tony, you blew your chance to bring honor to the UK. I pray you can find your balls and have them re-attached.

I wonder if this tough talk now is doing anything to remove the taste of Ahmadinejehad's butt from Tony's lips? It's was awful to witness the once mighty Great Britain grovel at a tinpot dictator's feet for the release of hostages who the Iranians should never have been able to sieze in the first place. I wonder if there's any hope for Western Europe...and us, for that matter.

I suspect the Iranians had ill intentions by kidnapping the British Navy.

Iran needs a distraction other than events in Iraq. Maybe the US can give them one.

So I wonder if the Iranians are going to try another kidnapping, or something similar. And if they do, I wonder what the British or American response would be this time? (I was going to ask, “what are the british going to do about the Iranians involved with the roadside bombs?” But I realized that the answer was obvious to that: nothing, of course.)

They probably have a lot more of those terrible suits to unload on the West.

We don’t seem to have the ba!!s to do it, but Blair should say that the next attack on British soil will be considered an attack by Iran and will result in war like which Iran has never seen on the Earth. And announce Syria is next.

And do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our problem with doing the same is we have a huge battle with the socialist, left, insane nut cases here in the US, which is causing so much harm to our Country. Until we can take down the RAT party and the MSM, including most of Hollywierd, we are is so much danger it is sad. The Rosie of this Country is an example.
