Iran Is at War with Us

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, is dying of cancer. But he is convinced that his legacy will be glorious. He believes that thousands of his Revolutionary Guards intelligence officers effectively control southern Iraq, and that the rest of the country is at his mercy, since we present no challenge to them — even along the Iraq/Iran border, where they operate with impunity. They calmly plan their next major assault without having to worry about American retribution. The mullahs have thousands of intelligence officers all over Iraq, as well as a hard core of Hezbollah terrorists — including the infamous Imadh Mughniyah, arguably the region’s most dangerous killer — and they control the major actors, from Zarqawi to Sadr to the Badr Brigades.

#4  Control is a funny thing. The US has been aware of this infiltration from the get-go. Funny how we have done absolutely nothing about it, even though we have a huge number of SOCOM personnel in country who job it is exactly to do something about situations like this.

That's the problem with the Pentagon, they never plan for things like armed conflict.

Certain types of Chemotherapy cause one to be delusional. But when he goes in a hospital bed of cancer, does he get 72 virgins?
