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.

"and a substantial part of our population doesn’t seem to think we ought to do anything about it."

Well, it's just because of the unpardonable sin of the discontinued practice of slavery.

Now, he wishes to enslave ALL of us in Socialism/Commonism and destroy everyone's freedoms!!!

But Palin has been harrassed by all sorts of silly law suits, so how come that isn’t happening to Obama?

Are opponents being bullied by Rhambo?

Bewildered and perplexed.

[adanaC]

He’s the first president who’s main concern seems to be hurting the feelings of the enemies of freedom and democracy.

The roosters have come home to roost; that’s for sure.

I don't wonder who's side he is on. It is apparent that he seems to hate the US and is doing everything he can to destroy it from the inside out. Did you see the look on Putin's face when Obama was visiting Russia a few days ago?
He seems to have a look of utter contempt on his face towards Obama as they are sitting across from each other.
Even though Russia is not fond of the US, I think Putin does not respect a man who shows no respect for his own country as seems to be the case with Obama.

[gwobama]

I remember Nixon quite well. He had his faults, but like Bush, he did what he thought was best for our country. Also, like Bush, he was a favorit target for the mass media to insult, make fun of and just generally put down when ever the oportunity presented itself. If there were ever a genuine trial against America’s enimies, it would include most of the mass media. They are a bunch of Communistic Socialists who want to see this country fall apart. Why else would they support Obama they way they have?

The difference between O and Putin is that the latter loves his country and will do anything to make it stronger in global politics even if it is at the expense of the US. Putin is a tough man and no match whatsoever for Obama and his amateuristic advisers.

Can’t argue with a thing you said!!!
