Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Are the Iranians Out for Revenge?
2007-01-30
The speed and level of chaos in Iraq is picking up fast. An apocalyptic cult Iranian terrorists came uncomfortably close to dying by the thousands taking Najaf, one of Shi'a Islam's most holy cities, and murdering Grand Ayatollah Sistani. Sistani is the neo-cons' favorite quietist Shi'a cleric, the man who was supposed to keep Iraq's Shi'a in line while we went about nation building. And then, on Sunday, Iran's ambassador to Baghdad told the New York Times that Iran is in Iraq to stay and die, whether the Bush Administration likes it or not.

#5  Aside from arming the opposition, the IRGC is capable of doing serious damage to our logistics lines. I called up an American contractor in Baghdad who runs convoys from Kuwait every day and asked him just how much damage."Let me put it this way,"he said."In Basra today the currency is the Iranian toman, not the Iraqi dinar."He said his convoys now are forced to pay a 40% surcharge to Shi'a militias and Iraqi police in the south, many of whom are affiliated with IRGC.

#4  "We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail."


Didn't his Daddy say something about "No new taxes!"

Bush is like his Daddy, he'll leave this mess for someone else. Iran will snatch Iraq out from under our noses. These idiots in D.C. need to be thrown out, all of them.

#3  "Mindful of the spreading chaos in Iraq, President Bush has promised not to take the war into Iran. But it won't matter to the IRGC. There is nothing the IRGC likes better than to fight a proxy war in another country."

I hope that first sentence isn't true; because we're not going to solve this problem until we **DO** take the war to Iran.

"We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail."

Remember those words, GWB? THAT is the promise I want kept. Let's get the lead out, and get this friggin' show on the road!

Hey, I like it. Sounds like a plan...

#1  Well Baer's point is that they aren't going to let up.

So we best be ready to INTO IRAN to get them. (That almost certainly wasn't his point, but that's where I figure it leads.)
