Iranian general boasts of Quds Force killing U.S. troops in Iraq
Washington Times ^ | 2 August 17 | Rowan Scarborough

The deputy commander of Iran’s notorious Quds Force bragged at a recent ceremony that his operatives have killed more Americans than U.S. troops have killed Iranian fighters.

Brig. Gen. Ismail Ghaani was referring to Iran’s major intervention in the Iraq war to supply Shiite militias with supercharged explosives that could penetrate U.S. armored vehicles. The Pentagon has estimated the Quds Force, an arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, killed 500 Americans that way.

Most all of the hijackers were in Iran in the previous 2 years to 911.

Iran has worked with Al Qaeda and few deny that.

So? Syria and Iran are designated state sponsors of terrorism, meaning they are basically terrorists.

Where do those hundreds of missiles come from that have been fired at Israel haphazardly? The missiles come from Russia and are funneled through Iran and Israel to terrorists.

What next? Israel has no right to strike back either?

As long as Syria is deluging Europe with refugees, it becomes everyone’s business.

American Third Country arms sales went equally to both countries in that war... Iran got the same artillery, ammo trailers/trucks and other items produced - sometimes leaving the countries who produced it under contract by ship, two ships with one to Iran and one to Iraq on same day from the same port.

And Russia, per reports, is supporting the Sunni Taliban. Goodness gracious what we hear.

Manning was arrested for disclosing to the world, classified military secrets. One of them was our electronic counter measures for IED’s, that included the frequencies we were blocking.

The Iranians then changed their frequencies for remote IED’s and killed American troops.

I could care less if Manning changes into a unicorn. He/she caused the death of Americans and should be executed. Manning hid the crimes with all this sex change B.S. and became a left wing celebrity and got pardoned.

None of your comments carry any legal or especially Constitutional weight with respect to deployment of our military. The principles on which you base your reasoning could be used to kill anyone, anywhere at any time without regards to anything resembling due process. It’s people like you who were celebrating when elements of the federal mafia sniped, executed and burned out the Branch Davidians. “So what”, right?
