Oh my.... dare we complain after all of those years helping the Taliban go after the Russians in Afghanistan?

[boardofcerti]

Which finger ?

"U.S. General Points Finger At Iran"

Duh!

The US is out there openly trying to destabilize Iran and do 'regime change'.

Whether this claim is backed by hard evidence or not, Iran would have to be comatose to not be returning the favor for violation of its space and region.

You don't need a specialist to set up something like Karbala...

Let's see his documents...how he flitted about so easily in occupied, check-pointed Iraq.

Let's see his picture and some interviews with family and friends of this fellow. Is it possible that he was captured in the Israeli invasion of Lebanon?

In the final analysis, it really doesn't matter. He was in Iraq fighting for Iraqi freedom, just as Count Pulaski came from Poland to aid the American freedom fighters against the British oppressors.

Talk about reducing American credibility... our soldiers are being killed by Iranian forces, and we do nothing...

Weakness in this part of the world is about the most contemptible position one can take, and has already reduced our ability to influence the fledgling Iraqi government, not to mention the Iranians. And obviously, the real problem is, that our forces are so overstretched they couldn't respond to Iran, anyway.

Gotta love this...

is this forum open?

when dealing with people, governments and others rarely go to war to make a point ... 99 plus percent of the time, war is too expensive and too unnecesary to solve a problem ... so why then on some rare occasions do revolutions and civil wars and other actions occur? ... people are not insects of a lawn that are all but incapable of having their minds changed ... to go to war is should not be viewed as foolish most of the time: it should be viewed as foolish all of the time because enough evidence to go to war to prove the 'obvious' is not yet enough evidence to win a war to prove the 'obvious' ... which has a lot more to do with why 99 plus percent of war upstarts fail than does the relative strength of the opposition


kids age five and less absorb 99 plus percent of punishments as kids age five and less are guilty of 99 plus percent of crimes ... while parents injure and kill 99 plus percent more children than does any other group, soldiers injure and kill 99 plus percent more children per capita than do even the parents

while civilians suffer 99 plus percent of punishments (and civilians age five and less absorb 99 plus perenct of those punishments), civilians suffer those punishments only because civilians are 99 plus percent more likely to assault an authority than is another authority

thoush a civilian is 99 plus percent more likely to be injured or killed by assaulting an authority than is another authority

We have the nerve to blame others. What about us interfering in the affairs of other nations? It is all right for America to do it but not others. This sort of absurd attitude is what gets us in trouble in the first place and yet we persist!

[condumism]

Here we have another propoganda story coming from a spokesman of the USA's MILITARY WELFARE program. A general in this organization these days is only there because they are Bush/Cheney loving fools that couldn't get work in the real world. So their bosses make up stories to find some, ANYONE for these born losers to go off an kill. HEY LOSERS: BOMB ANY AFGHAN WEDDINGS LATELY?

[prinzowhales]

From the very beginning of the occupation, American troops have casually fired at Iraqi civilians. I remember one case in which an Iraqi family was passing a convoy and the creature manning a 50 cal casually fired a burst into the automobile...the convoy moved on, leaving the dead and wounded behind them. This was when they were 'winning hearts and minds' by running tanks back and forth over a cab whose driver collected some firewood that raised the soldiers ire.

Its time to bring the troops home and bring to trial the animals in Washington who are responsible for the murder of 3,500 of our finest as well as hundreds of thousands of Iraqis.

Now we know why Al-Maliki took so many trips to Iran the sneak is stalling and everything is hindering our troops, to stop our troops again because we are getting close to finding it all out. Sadr city and Maliki are setting up with Hezbollah's help and Maliki needs to go. I personally have never trusted the sneak there is no telling how much of our money for reconstruction has gone to Iran. Let us watch very closely and see how this snake evolves.

[bareemperor]

Cheney's Forces will not stop until all Middle Eastern oil is under US control.
The Vice-President's Secret Energy Plan includes re-enstating the draft before the year is out.
Stay tuned for the Patriot Act III, which abolishes two-party rule in the US, and creates an official slavery class of citizens...

There is no justification for Irans actions despite all the rhetoric posted here.The war in Iraq is wrong and every excuse given for invading was wrong, since when did two wrongs make a right? These are not sympathizers they are from the Quds force a elite group of Irans military.Is this a call to war with Iran over this? No.

If this guy worked for Hizbollah it doesn't mean Hizbollah sent him over there. Even after Hizbollah took the two Isreali soldiers last year they apologized to the Lebanese because they didn't think Israel would react with such savagery.
I just don't think that Hizbollah now wants to duke it out with the US. It doesn't make sense because they're also trying to work out a political arrangement with their opponents in Lebanon.
Another reason it wouldn't make sense for Hezbollah, and for that matter Iran, to send anyone to Iraq is because Iraq has more than it needs to fight the Americans: It has the manpower, the knowledge and the ammunition to do so.
Saddam Hussein's army of 400,000 that was foolishly dismantled by the US in 2003 has plenty of people willing to fight the US.
If I'm not mistaken that army actually had more Shiites in it than Sunnis, many of whom were not traumatized by Hussein and that actually had careers in the army or outside of it they were looking forward to.
A lot of them are probably fighting the US and that probably has the US all confused and running in circles trying to figure out what's going on.
If anything, Hezbollah and Iran are staying at home enjoying the trials and tribulations of the US army in Iraq on TV.

If Iran invaded Canada we'd help Canada. This is what neighbors do. They get involved because they have to. If idiot Bush and his fellow neocon nuts would have listened to wise council before he invaded, we wouldn't be in this quagmire. We now know that he had ample warning that this is how it would unfold but he didn't listen. Now we all have to pay and pay and pay some more.

[huskerarmy]

Iran! Maybe the U.S. should not be in Iraq but Iran should not be in Iraq either, especially killing us while they are there

It's puzzeling however that the idea of Shiite Iranians helping Shiite Iraqi's would be a surprise to anyone. Even if we do somehow manage to secure Iraq, Shiites are the majority... these are the folks who will be in power. They will most certainly have empathy with Iran. Our invasion has helped to create a stronghold for Shiite influence in the Middle East. To say one is for the Iraq war is paramount to saying one is pro-Shiite. And it should be noted that this is a sect that believes strongly in religous orthodoxy. According to Amnesty International, the number of so-called "honor killings" has risen sharply and it is, if not sanctioned, all but ignored by the Iraqi Shiite government. Anyone supporting our continuing presence in Iraq should be forced to watch the horrifying spectacle of a 16-year-old girl being stoned to death by an angry mob of religous zealots...

counter-terror sources report that ten days ago, the US gave the Czech government specific warning of large-scale al Qaeda terrorist attacks in Prague, targeting government buildings, the US embassy, American firms and Jewish and Israel locations in the Czech capital. All American missions and military facilities in Europe were placed on alert.

France, Germany, Italy, Denmark and Spain have also tightened their anti-terror precautions.

Our sources add that the London and Glasgow bombing attempts took the Americans by surprise. They had expected the jihadists to strike elsewhere in Europe.

[radiob-2009]

Authorities suspect the two men who rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into Glasgow's airport on Saturday are the same people who parked two car bombs in central London a day earlier, security sources told CNN.

Hopefully the Brits have captured all that are involved in this and thwarted any other plans by extremist.
