Report: New U.S. Military Discovery Shows Iran Still Sending Arms to Iraq

Friday, April 25, 2008

Yochi J. Dreazen

WASHINGTON — The U.S. military says it has found caches of newly made Iranian weapons in Iraq, leading senior officials to conclude Tehran is continuing to funnel armaments into Iraq despite its pledges to the contrary, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

Officials in Washington and Baghdad said the purported Iranian mortars, rockets and explosives had date stamps indicating they were manufactured in the past two months.The U.S. plans to publicize the weapons caches in coming days. A pair of senior commanders said a presentation was tentatively planned for Monday, the paper reported.

Oh I can't wait to hear the counters to this from the apologists. The last ones were pretty pathetic.

This should come as no surprise to anyone. After all, Iran is our enemy and has been ever since they kicked us and our puppet dictator out.

I thought we had everything under control? Who's watching the borders?

Wait a minute, we can't even control our own borders with a nation that doesn't even want nukes, or hates America? What was I thinking?

Of course they are there we are letting them in so we can say, oh my God they are there, we ought to do something like, I don't know... ATTACK!!!

For all we know they could have been legally imported into Iraq.

Well we have lost so many of our own weapons, maybe we are just restocking with available on hand item so we could attack them with their own weapons?

Or maybe we went into Iran on a secret mission, and stole the weapons so we could say look what we found and had a reason to attack?

Or maybe just maybe those weapons are not even in Iraq but in Iran and we are using the pictures of the weapons for a reason to attack?

Or maybe we should just stop all the BS and simply attack?

Oh just attack already? What's that? Bush can't attack until late Sept or early Oct so he can remain in office as the supreme decider? That makes sense!

and the drum beats of war echo in the valleys.........

What do you think we should do?

Invade Iran? Add another theater of operations to GWOT.

Invade with what? Is anyone stepping up to the plate in America?
Very GD few, that's who. The Army raised it's maximum enlistment age to 42.
Forty freak'n two. The age when many consider retiring from the Miltary.
Enlistment bonuses are increasing. Yes quotas are being met, but it's still
an active duty ground forces that are being stretched THIN.

So unless you want to reinstate the draft, I'd put the war drums back in the closet.

Iran's involvement in the war in Iraq is a consequence of having too small an invasion force to manage the border's of Iraq.

*OPINION of course*

No offense. But we could put every single service member in our forces from world wide and not properly cover the borders. Thats kind of like where the cops say "Cover all the exits" and the bad guy still gets out.
