'Clear evidence' Iran is arming, training Iraqi extremists: US general
Breitbart ^ | Aug 23 3:14 PM US/Eastern

Posted on 08/23/2006 12:34:35 PM PDT by Perdogg

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."

I keep thinking I'll wake up one Sunday morning and We're bombing the hell out of Syria and Iran. Probably just a dream.

I like your ideas from a strategic point.....we should even use Russian made artillery pieces for the IED's.

Okay what are we doing about it??? ***crickets***

Killing them?

And perhaps a bunch of things to which you and I are not being told about.

What you should not assume is that your stupid crickets know anymore than you do.

With any weapon at our disposal I might add. Violence and death is what they want so we should accomodate them. Bury them in pig dung.

"Of course you realize, this means war."

Or it would if we had half the resolve of Bugs Bunny.

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).

Wrong, wrong, wrong! We should engage our allies. Didn't you read the Democrat plan for World Peace?

Shalom.

With all due respect, if our efforts were truly effective, the Iranians would stop it.

Am I also under the impression that Jaish al Mahdi and the US had a truce.

Apparently, Al Sadr can come and go as he likes.

I disagree. That tit-for-tat would go on forever. Time to drop a few moabs on an Iranian city. That would send a clearer message.

lol, just found this:

'1982-France begins production of the neutron warhead.

1986-France announces it will abandon the production of neutron warheads because of internal and external political pressure. '

'internal and external political pressure'

Is that when you have to take a dump but you have your head up your arse?

Whatever happened to...?

..."You're either on our side or on the side of the terrorists..."

..."No more sanctuaries like in Vietnam"...

Iran should have been picking up it's teeth off the floor long ago. In 1979, in fact. We are literally letting them getting away with murder. They are long overdue a size 13 enema.
