Obama Frees Iranian Terror Masters

The release of the Irbil Five is a continuation of a shameful policy.

By Andrew C. McCarthy

There are a few things you need to know about President Obama’s shameful release on Thursday of the “Irbil Five” — Quds Force commanders from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) who were coordinating terrorist attacks in Iraq that have killed hundreds — yes, hundreds — of American soldiers and Marines.

First, of the 4,322 Americans killed in combat in Iraq since 2003, 10 percent of them (i.e., more than 400) have been murdered by a single type of weapon alone, a weapon that is supplied by Iran for the singular purpose of murdering Americans.

As Steve Schippert explains at NRO’s military blog, the Tank, the weapon is “the EFP (Explosively Formed Penetrator), designed by Iran’s IRGC specifically to penetrate the armor of the M1 Abrams main battle tank and, consequently, everything else deployed in the field.” Understand:

This does not mean Iran has killed only 400 Americans in Iraq. The number killed and wounded at the mullahs’ direction is far higher than that — likely multiples of that — when factoring in the IRGC’s other tactics, such as the mustering of Hezbollah-style Shiite terror cells.

Second, President Bush and our armed forces steadfastly refused demands by Iran and Iraq’s Maliki government for the release of the Irbil Five because Iran was continuing to coordinate terrorist operations against American forces in Iraq (and to aid Taliban operations against American forces in Afghanistan).

Freeing the Quds operatives obviously would return the most effective, dedicated terrorist trainers to their grisly business.

No,
He just wants to return the 5 so they can kill more Americans. These are seasoned professionals who know their job! Its all part of his long range planning.

It’s going to take one of these stupid, naive moves to blow back up in our face in the form of a jihadi’s nuke in an American city before Congress dares to lay a finger on Obama.

Reprehensible. American patriots are rolling in their graves in disgust at this anti-American who disgraces our heritage and our nation. Add the US Congress to the list of disgraces.

How does the public get to know more? He has a state run media, I guess FOX will have to run with it.

Which shows that our own people and the POTUS they elected have thrown their own country into the elephant pit/trap. Sickening and troubling to say the very least!!!

Is it possible to impeach a president when he has a senate majority and congress in his hands?

I don’t understand how the law works, but Obama seems to be pi**ing off the whole world already. He criticizes every country he goes to, and turns his back on Canada and Britain, America’s oldest and trusted allies. Then he cozies up to our enemies.

This is very strange. Can anyone explain how Watergate brought down a president, while Obama makes Nixon look like an angel, and is maybe getting away with treason?

I’m terribly perplexed and bewildered.

If on FR, Obama would be branded a flaming troll.

.
After 6 months in office you still have to ask whose side Hussein is on? Let me assure you, it ain’t America’s.
