Breitbart ^ | Aug 23 3:14 PM US/Eastern

A senior US military official said there is "clear evidence" that Iran is funding, training and arming Shiite extremists to destabilize Iraq. "I think it is irrefutable that Iran is responsible for training, funding and equipping some of these Shia extremist groups, and also providing advanced IED technology," said Brigadier General Michael Barbero, using the acronym for "improvised explosive devices."

Maybe we should go to the UN. (snicker, snicker). Or how about this...we should sit down across the table from them (Democrat foreign policy - snicker, snicker).

You can bet on one thing.

Nothing will happen to Iran, the US government is way too busy spying on all its catholic, hindu and amish population.

Iran and Syria need some serious amounts of skin in the game. As it is now, they arm a few nut cases and send them somewhere in the world and we spend hundreds of billions trying to catch/kill them. When we can come up with some evidence that I/S are behind these guys we should throw a few cruse missiles into their power grid, blow up some key bridges etc. It would get ugly quick, but I think it would be cheaper in the long run.

We should be killing muslims as quickly and efficently as possible. They should be destroyed by the countries full, Iran, Syria, Palistine, the cities of Mecca and Medina and the Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. The destruction should be so terrible and swift that the muslims would not ever think of another terrorist act or even what to shoplift for fear of more destruction. It might keep them under control for another one hundred years.

Who doesn't think that the whole Hezbollah-Israel war was a diversion? It bought more time for Iran to work on the nuclear weapons. They need to be stopped NOW!

The block of concrete they march around could be added to the list for dramaticism.

We need to start playing their same game....I'm sure there are a few Iraqi's willing to go into Iran that we could fund to stir up trouble there....start setting up some IED's in Tehran, start bombing some mosques, etc and start giving them messages that we can do the same thing...But I guess we're too nice...
