Comments on: Iraqis: Hezbollah Trained Shiite Militants

2 Lawmakers, Army Officer Say Iran Backing Group Training Fighters To Gain Influence

Never did like the Shiites...Anybody who beats themselves with chains until they are bleeding profusly could be considered quite psycho..They were the ones who took our embassy people hostage in Iran...Now we know why Saddam kept them down...Not only were they a danger to his government but they are spiritually allied with Saddams arch-enemy Iran...By taking Saddam out of power and putting the Shiites in power we basically insured that Iran would move into the power vacume...Iran is a more lethal enemy to America than Iraq ever was. (the Iraqis never took our embassy people hostage.)The next time that Hezbollah attacks Israel we should do both Lebanon and Israel as well as ourselves a favor..WIPE THEM OUT.

All three Iraqis spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not supposed to release the information....................

The propagana machine spins more tales and excuses.
Interesting the Iraqi sources are " anonymous "

The U.S. has been involved in covert ops for decades and now, all of a sudden, we''re supposed to believe there is virtue in taking "the high road?" Get real and pis* off-

Re: "Considering this information comes from Iraqis themselves gives more credibility to Iran''''s proxy war against the US in Iraq."

The people of Iraq want U.S.-led forces out of their country, and have for a long time. They are not nearly as concerned about the Iranians. why would they be?

Nothing that the Iraqi stooge collaborators claim carries any weight at all.

The illegal invasion of Iraq itself is what guaranteed that Iran would be more closely aligned with Iraq. Nobody should be surprised by this.

Considering this information comes from Iraqis themselves gives more credibility to Iran''s proxy war against the US in Iraq. Weapons and shape charges with made in Iran, with current manufacture dates have been found repeatedly in country. The sudden sophistication of the insurgent attacks is an obvious indication that they have been trained in urban warfare.

It''s time to bring this war into the bedroom of Iranian political, religious and military leaders.

Religious fanatics training other religious fanatics to fight for the "correct" interpretation and political implementaion of the correct religion.

Not a particularly new story.

[floydzepp2]

I agree but this current batch of neo-cons(Bush/McCain) are about as far from core Republican ideals as you can get.

The neo-cons have hijacked the Republican party.

Re: "Hezbollah instructors trained Shiite militiamen at remote camps in southern Iraq until three months ago when they slipped across the border to Iran - presumably to continue instruction on Iranian soil, according to two Shiite lawmakers and a top army officer."

Sounds like more nonsense.

If they "knew" that this was going on, then why didn''t they shut down these alleged camps? Why didn''t they stop them from "slipping" across the border?

Nope. Sounds like more excuses for why we are losing in Iraq, and trying to blame Iran for that failure, in an effort to justify another war of aggression against that country.

The current Iraqi "officials" are no more representative of the people of Iraq than Ahmad Chalabi was in the run-up to the illegal invasion.

These officials lack legitimacy, lack sovereignty, and lack popular support of the people of Iraq. They are collaborators, for the most part, with the brutal, shameful, and criminal invasion of Iraq, and when the U.S. is finally kicked out, their future is grim.

Besides, the people of Iraq have every right to defend themselves against the illegal invasion of their country, and if they choose to enlist the help of their neighbors in their defense, that is perfectly within their rights.

Good luck to them.

NEVE DEKALIM, Gaza Strip -- Palestinians looted dozens of greenhouses yesterday, walking off with irrigation hoses, water pumps, and plastic sheeting in a blow to fledgling efforts to reconstruct the Gaza Strip.

American Jewish donors had bought more than 3,000 greenhouses from Israeli settlers in Gaza for $14 million last month and transferred them to the Palestinian Authority. Former World Bank President James Wolfensohn, who brokered the deal, put up $500,000 of his own money.

Palestinian police watched yesterday as looters carried materials

"The question is whether we''re going to allow this man who''s been developing weapons of mass destruction continue to develop weapons of mass destruction, get nuclear capability and get to the place where -- if we''re going to stop him if he invades a country around him -- it''ll cost millions of lives as opposed to thousands of lives."

Bill Clinton February 17, 1998
"We have to defend our future from these predators of the 21st Century.... They will be all the more lethal if we allow them to build arsenals of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them. We simply cannot allow that to happen. There is no more clear example of this threat than Saddam Hussein."

The problem with your logic is that it is flawed. Some here do NOT trust GWB or DC, but the terrorists do trust OBL one their "religious guides" that the will enter heaven and get their 72 virgins. Really, how many virgins are left there?

The only check you''ll get from Obama is.....

"check out his 401K and see how much we can take for Reparations."

[barocalto]

Barack Obama was born of Communist activists, mentored by a communist writer and activist, spent his college days hanging around radical activists, worked as a radical community organizer learning the radical tactics of Alinsky, kept contact with radicals through the years, attends a radical church, and today lends his political skill to the international goals of radical activists, and has radicals working on for his campaign.

You don''t believe what that one Arab group will teach another Arab group how to kill Jews... Where have you been the last several thousand years. It won''t matter if Israel was only 100 sq yards the Arab''s would still try and drive the Jews out. So I don''t know what you don''t believe.
