Iran declares war on U.S.
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | April 5th 2004 | Joseph Farah

Nobody else is saying it, so, once again, it is left to me to explain what really happened in Iraq yesterday.

Iran declared war on the U.S.

The signs have been there for a long time. I don't know if they have been intentionally ignored by U.S. forces in Iraq, or whether there is some master plan at the Defense Department to deal with this scenario.

All I can tell you is we are now fighting a regional war. Our local opposition in Iraq is being trained, armed and directed with foreign support – by neighboring Iran.

The uprising yesterday was treated in many initial news accounts as a spontaneous uprising directed by Najaf cleric Moktada al-Sadr.

What the other news accounts left out was one significant, but well-established fact: Al-Sadr works for Iran. He is an Iranian agent. His authority comes from Iran.

Last April, an Iranian cleric, Kadhem al-Husseini al-Haeri, issued a religious edict and distributed to Shiite mullahs in Iraq, calling on them "to seize the first possible opportunity to fill the power vacuum in the administration of Iraqi cities."

The edict, or fatwa, issued April 8, 2003, showed that Shiite clerics in Iraq are receiving significant direction from Iran. The edict said that Shiite leaders have to "seize as many positions as possible to impose a fait accompli for any coming government."

"People have to be taught not to collapse morally before the means used by the Great Satan if it stays in Iraq," the fatwa read. "It will try to spread moral decay, incite lust by allowing easy access to stimulating satellite channels and spread debauchery to weaken people's faith."

The fatwa also instructed the cleric's followers to "raise people's awareness of the Great Satan's plans and of the means to abort them."

On April 7, the day American troops effectively toppled Hussein's government by seizing its main seats of power in Baghdad, al-Haeri sent a handwritten letter to the city of Najaf, appointing Moktada al-Sadr as his deputy in Iraq.

Haeri wrote: "We hereby inform you that Mr. Moktada al-Sadr is our deputy and representative in all fatwa affairs."

It added: "His position is my position."

Also last April, WorldNetDaily reported that Iran had armed and trained some 40,000 Shiite Iraqi fighters – most former prisoners of war captured during the Iran-Iraq war – and sent them to Iraq to foment an Islamic revolution. The report originated in my premium, online, intelligence newsletter G2 Bulletin.

The report said this small army represents the vanguard of Iran's effort to subvert the U.S.-led liberation of Iraq and use the toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime for its own ends.

"Ayatollah Mohammed Bakir Khakim is on record pledging more than once to his followers a plan to impose Islamic rule over Iraq with the help of Iran," reports G2 Bulletin. "The Tehran ayatollahs, or the Pasadran, the powerful revolutionary guard, repeatedly have been telling the Iraqis they would be their legitimate allies and partners. In such a scenario, there is no room for the U.S. The coalition that liberated Iraq is seen by the Iraqi Shiite militants and their Iranian sponsors as a tool for handing Iraq over to them without the need to use a massive force of their own."

Iran has clear objectives in Iraq. The only question is whether the United States still has clear objectives in Iraq – and whether Washington recognizes that this war front just got wider.

Every once in a while I get these thoughts of the movie "The Outsiders" and think, wouldn't it be great to just have all of us in the US get on a bunch of planes and head to the mideast and just have a good ol' ass-whoopin' rumble!!! I get so pissed when I read some of the sh*t that they are doing over there that I'd love to be able to just go over and beat the ever-loving snot out of these as*holes!

Odd that the people of those countries await the mighty USA to come save them from their own homegrown villains.

What good does it do us, to do any more than we already have, if they are so timid, and if we have to do all the heavy lifting?

The Taliban had to go, and so did Saddam.That was at a minimum, for the USA.
We must be prepared to take on North Korea.
If those Iranians dont know by now how to topple their government,and shake off their shackles, they will never be able to do so, with or without our help.

"What are you doing to protect the Judeo/Christian way of life?"

I am teaching my children about religion and to understand other religions and their freedom to practice it.

I teach them respect and compassion. I teach them how to be responsible people and to make good choices with their lives.

I don't teach hatred or avarice towards others. Nor do I teach them to commit atrocities against others due to their race, creed, religious persuasion or sexual orientation.

However, one thing I do teach them is not to take crap from people who practice the above. If they are confronted with hatred, they are to be as tolerant as possible until it is no longer time to be tolerant.

I might remind you--once again--that "W" plays "Chess, NOT 'CHECKERS.'"

"In the Heat of the Moment," we seem to forget that "W" is a LOT SMARTER than he seems.

Somehow, I think that "W" has LONG been "Well Aware" of the Sociopathic Imams--& is Likely to have Crafted a Plan designed to allow these psychopaths to "Self-Destruct!"

"W" may be Fallible, but he's NOT STUPID!!

OUR "Problem" isn't Stupidity--it's Impatience!!

We're Americans;--we expect Problems to be Solved, NOW!!

I FULLY EXPECT that "W" & 'Condi have engineered a "Scenario" in which the "IMAMS" will "AUTO-DESTRUCT!!"

In Fact, I'm Looking Forward to the "FALLOUT" after the Destruction of the Psychotic "Imams!"

The "LeftMedia" will Likely "Go Ballistic!!"

"WHAT FUN!!"

Doc

Thanks for directing me here, Phil.

They stated on Fox News today that Al-Sadr, who is only 31 years old, is funded by Iran. Wonder why we haven't done anything before now?

They also said that Fallujah is the size of San Antonio, about 500thousand. Today they said that 1200 Marines had it surrounded, hard to believe!!

The young people in Iran would like to overthrow the 'mullahs' but need some help.

Archy: mondegreen alert!

It's got to be a song lyric for it to really qualify as a Mondegreen, and the nearest song I can think of akin to a couple of pretty fair Alamo ballads [most notable being the Marty Robbins version] being *Dirty Gertie from Bizerte*

Better described as a mixed metaphor, I'd think, or in this case, maybe a mixed similie.

Why is the media ignoring Iran's involvement in the Iraqi unrest?
When will we deal aggressively with the Iranian incitement of violence in Iraq by the Iranian mullahs?

Doc, Perhaps the Media closed their eyes on the real reasons of the recent unrest in Iraq. But all of us know that the main reason is the Mullahs.

We will deal aggressively with the Mullahs as soon as the Media turn to pay attention to the real causes.

I might remind you that the friends and families of those "chess pieces" on our side that have been retired do not think this is such great fun. Necessary perhaps, but definitely not fun.

Unfortunately this is nothing new. We have been at war with Iran since 1979. It's time for us to return to Tehran in the B-52's as the young Airmen(former hostage) said as he deplaned after being repatriated to the U.S. along with the other hostages from our U.S. Embassy there, January 21st, 1981, shortly after President Ronald Reagan was sworn into office, January 20th, 1981. The Young Airmen said at the time, "I'd return to Tehran....In a B-52!!!!"!!!!

As for the Folks in Iran wanting to remove their present government and wanting to create a Democracy there, I'm All for it. I sincerely hope they can pull it off. It would be a great day there for them if they are able to succeed.

The Mullahs better keep an eye on the storm brewing within themselves my friend, before they go messin' with us.

But if they insist, go right ahead.

...& make my day.
