The MSM covering Iranian involvement in Iraq is meant to bash Bush not the Mullahs

[Nateman]

Sounds like an act of war to me. Tell them to stop or we invade. Line up ten divisions on the border and then see if they stop.

[Capn TrVth]

Bush's fault!

[Blind Eye Jones]

Nuke every Mullah that own's a corner store! And there is a ton of them in Iran!

Iran shipping Iraqi rebels powerful bombs, NBC says

[dinok]

I thought Bush was killing our soldiers...the press confuses me...can't they make up their mind?

[ThirstyMan]

"If Iran is indeed actively participating in the deaths of American soldiers, as seems to be the case, it is a clear act of war. It should be treated as such."

It would be nice if we had some help from other nations in this war on terror.

[Ditter]

Over at DU they are convinced President Bush is getting ready to attack Iran. This must have been what they were talking about. It's a little hard to follow their conversations sometime.

[HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath]

I think the plan is to first get the government on its feet in Iraq. Then let envy and jealousy over new found freedom and prosperity their foment revolution in Iran.

Question for Freepers,and this regards our own borders too.I absolutely cannot understand why some large scale implemetation of electronic eavesdropping,cameras and whatever else the techs have come up with hasn't been done? Towers every 100 or 1000 yards apart to detect/see anyone or any vehicle coming over? Doesn't take 10 divisions to intercept,just a few troops spaced out,ready to investigate whereever and whenever. For some reason,i can't get my mind around this. Sabatoge could be preveted simply by having the cameras rotate wih a large enough clear field of visiona around them.

Sifting through the 9/11 Commission, I found this:


In October 2000, a senior operative of Hezbollah visited Saudi Arabia to coordinate activities there. He also planned to assist individuals in Saudi Arabia in traveling to Iran during November. A top Hezbollah commander and Saudi Hezbollah contacts were involved.122

Also in October 2000, two future muscle hijackers, Mohand al Shehri and Hamza al Ghamdi, flew from Iran to Kuwait. In November, Ahmed al Ghamdi apparently flew to Beirut, traveling-perhaps by coincidence-on the same flight as a senior Hezbollah operative. Also in November, Salem al Hazmi apparently flew from Saudi Arabia to Beirut.123

In mid-November, we believe, three of the future muscle hijackers, Wail al Shehri, Waleed al Shehri, and Ahmed al Nami, all of whom had obtained their U.S. visas in late October, traveled in a group from Saudi Arabia to Beirut and then onward to Iran. An associate of a senior Hezbollah operative was on the same flight that took the future hijackers to Iran. Hezbollah officials in Beirut and Iran were expecting the arrival of a group during the same time period. The travel of this group was important enough to merit the attention of senior figures in Hezbollah.124

Later in November, two future muscle hijackers, Satam al Suqami and Majed Moqed, flew into Iran from Bahrain. In February 2001, Khalid al Mihdhar may have taken a flight from Syria to Iran, and then traveled further within Iran to a point near the Afghan border.125

KSM and Binalshibh have confirmed that several of the 9/11 hijackers (at least eight, according to Binalshibh) transited Iran on their way to or from Afghanistan, taking advantage of the Iranian practice of not stamping Saudi passports. They deny any other reason for the hijackers' travel to Iran. They also deny any relationship between the hijackers and Hezbollah.126

In sum, there is strong evidence that Iran facilitated the transit of al Qaeda members into and out of Afghanistan before 9/11, and that some of these were future 9/11 hijackers. There also is circumstantial evidence that senior Hezbollah operatives were closely tracking the travel of some of these future muscle hijackers into Iran in November 2000. However, we cannot rule out the possibility of a remarkable coincidence-that is, that Hezbollah was actually focusing on some other group of individuals traveling from Saudi Arabia during this same time frame, rather than the future hijackers.127

We have found no evidence that Iran or Hezbollah was aware of the planning for what later became the 9/11 attack. At the time of their travel through Iran, the al Qaeda operatives themselves were probably not aware of the specific details of their future operation.

After 9/11, Iran and Hezbollah wished to conceal any past evidence of cooperation with Sunni terrorists associated with al Qaeda. A senior Hezbollah official disclaimed any Hezbollah involvement in 9/11.128

We believe this topic requires further investigation by the U.S. government.

Nuke Tehran and all of the mullah's nuclear "power" projects. This is just the lesson the ME needs...
