At War With Iran, Or Rather They are With Us
Posted by Andy on February 13th, 2007
For those of you who are pessimists first and national security doves second, how much more evidence do you need to admit Iran is at war with us?
This weekend we found out about hi-tech IEDs specifically designed to pierce the armor on our most heavily armored vehicles that are from Iran. Intelligence supports that top Iranian leaders are implicit in them being smuggled into Iraq.
Today we find out that Austrian military sniper riffles sold to Iran have been found in Iraq.
Folks, no matter how much you hate war in general, when there are people fighting a war against you, you have to do something about it.
Oh and for you Democratic allies who think Bush is just trumping up things as Congress begins the defeatist debate, the charges of Iranian intervention in Iraq, is far from new.

The roadside bomb has evolved steadily in step with the defences deployed against it to become the most dangerous threat facing US and British troops in Iraq.
An armour-piercing version of the bomb - blamed for the deaths of eight British soldiers this year - marks the latest advance in the insurgents’ arsenal.
The UK has accused Iran of supplying the new weapon to militants in southern Iraq, via the Lebanese Hezbollah militia group, although Tehran has denied this.
Democrats want to negotiate with Iran as a way to solve the Iraq battle. An admission of Iranian involvement. Iran is fanning the sectarian violence in order to defeat the US. They are carrying out operations and/or supplying opposition forces in Iraq. That’s an act of war to me.
Invade Iran? Not on the top of my list, but cutting and running is not going to solve the problem, and will in fact make it worse. We’re in a global war against terror. Our enemy in Iraq see it as the central front in the war, why don’t members of our own Congress.
Iran IS the heart of terror around the world, and the government there is trying to get the US out of Iraq so it can continue its mission to dominate the world with a foreign policy of terror. If the US gives up in Iraq, Iran will know the US won’t have the intestinal fortitude to stop them anywhere else.
Folks, war is hell. It never goes as you had planned, and schtuff happens. Iraq’s neighbors are terrorist hotbeds and sponsors of terror. They are actively fighting against US interests with in Iraq’s borders. Non-binding resolutions opposing dealing with the sectarian violence in Baghdad is nothing more than passing a battle plan for our enemies. When they know what we will not tolerate, that’s exactly what they will do.
Why doesn’t Congress just take down that American flag flying over the Capital and raise the white flag of defeat in its place?
