War News of Extreme Interest...To Me Anyway

~Snooper~

I am not much of one for conspiracies. However, knowing what I do know of Iran, I wouldn't doubt this story one bit...and I don't. However, I understand why nothing is being done about it but do not agree.

Iran has been in a proxy war with the United States since 1979, thanks to Jimmy Carter. I was serving back then and I expressly remember rucking up and shipping out. To where is none of your business, actually but, ship out I did. The rest of that story is in my book, well, manuscript.

I ran across this story in two places; STACLU and Radarsite penned by the same author, RG.

Apparently, there is more than enough evidence that Iran had a hefty hand in the 91101 attacks that claimed thousands of lives on our home soil. I can say more but I won't.

We already know that Iran has been arming terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan and we also know that Iran has Troops in both countries fighting coalition forces. This is no secret but isn't talked about for the obvious reasons. I know. And that is all I need.

I am happier than a pig in mud that this has finally breached the sounds of silence

A Dope-Free, Pro-Troop High

The "Dope-Free" terminology in the title is in reference to drugs. There were plenty of dopes at the rallies and protest minions...especially the Code Pinko Skank Moonbats in the Fruit Loop Brigades. We also hear there was plenty of "dope" available for the homeless folks and druggies which were paid in booze and drugs to march in the parade. No matter. We know who has the momentum and who doesn't.

Melanie Morgan has a piece up describing the GOE III Rally and the Move America Forward Caravan and Fight For Victory Tour. They were smashing successes and the moonbats cringe.

What I find of particular interest is her obvious and keen eye in regards to The Why folks do NOT want AchmedI'mInA-Jihad to speak at Columbia University or to visit Ground zero. These are her bullets:

This week, both wanna-be presidential candidate New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and the administration of left-wing Columbia University announced that they were itching to play hostess to this generation's Hitler: Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. This should disqualify Bloomberg from any future political office. Ever.

These people wish to legitimize and provide a platform to a man:

• Who has denied that the Holocaust ever took place.
• Who has declared he wants to wipe Israel off the map.
• Who has funded and provided weapons for terrorist attacks against Americans.
• Who orchestrates attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq.
• Who oversaw development of extra-lethal IEDs that pierce the armor of U.S. military vehicles in Iraq.
• Who took 15 British sailors hostage and then turned them into puppets on international TV.
• Who is alleged to have been involved in the taking of U.S. hostages during the Tehran embassy hostage-taking.
• Who is currently developing nuclear weapons to be used to kill as many Westerners and "infidels" as possible.

It's not surprising that the same leftists who giggle and cheer at Michael Moore and Sally Field delivering leftist diatribes from the Academy Awards or television's Emmy Awards would want to glorify a murderous thug at the site of the worst terrorist attack in our nation's history.

Just as they glorified the Communists during the Cold War (including the Vietnam War, as evidenced by Hanoi Jane Fonda and Swift Boated John Kerry), the left now seeks to show greater compassion and sensitivity toward Iranian dictators than they do U.S. troops or their commanding generals (ask Gen. David Petraeus how he was treated by MoveOn.org and the militant left in this country).

But unlike during the Vietnam era, there is an active movement standing up to these punks. I want to call attention to the heroic efforts of Col. Harry Riley, Kathie Marino and the patriots at EaglesUp.us who not only helped drive the events of Sept. 15 but who also supported Move America Forward in the giant cross-country "Fight for Victory Tour" pro-troop caravan.

Poor moonbats. They are obviously trying to climb out of that Abyss of Obscurity we threw them in! LOL!!

Moonbats are saying that we have Freedom of Speech in this country and the pathetic and murderous leader of Iran has the right to speak. Last I knew, he wasn't a United States citizen so actually, he has no access to American Constitutional rights and none should be afforded him.

Personally, I think his visa to enter into this country should be permanently revoked. He is directly responsible for American Troop deaths but, alas, Code Pink loves the guy because they also support the murder of American Troops. Imagine that...birds of a feather and all that.

From The New York Post:

There's nothing like a visit from the leader of an Axis of Evil nation to get New Yorkers shouting mad.

That is a no joke right there...

From the NY Daily News:

Columbia University students plan mass protests to greet Holocaust-denying Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when he arrives on campus Monday to give a lecture.

Students planning the demonstration on the steps of Low Memorial Library papered the area with posters yesterday depicting public executions of gays in Iran.

"Any student who cares about freedom of sexuality and freedom of religion should stand up and protest against this murderous dictator," said Sharona Getz, 22, who was taping up signs in the student union.

While many plan to protest his terrorist-loving views, it was hard to find a student who thought he should be barred from campus.

"If we believe in freedom of speech, I think we should let him come," said Iranian law student Matin Hughes, 27.

This "Iranian law student" hasn't read our Constitution or is a part of the mutants that try to rewrite it on every and any opportunity.

From the Dallas Morning News:

Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson said Thursday that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad should not be allowed into the country, much less at the World Trade Center site, when he travels to New York next week to address the United Nations.

"I know there would be ramifications in the United Nations" if the U.S. refused to let Mr. Ahmadinejad into the country, Mr. Thompson said during a brief news conference at Dallas Love Field. "I would deny this character a visa. What's he going to do, visit there to get pointers for his own activities? I wouldn't let him in the country."

Mr. Thompson said the Iranian regime was a threat to Americans and should be dealt with accordingly.

Amen.

From Hot Air:

The only reason I would let this murdering thug into the country is so that as he landed I could have the privilege of publicly kicking the bastard right back out again.

I would give the moron and murderous thug a kayak with 1/2 a paddle and tell him to have fun rowing back to Iran.

Hat Tip to Wake Up America for the cartoon:

The little man is justly depicted as just that...a little man. Little men kill women and children and attack and kill the innocent "to make a point". No wonder ReidCo likes him.

Signs of a Possible Rift in the Iranian Leadership on the Nuclear Issue

Seeing that there has been evidence of unhappy citizens within the borders of Iran, The Land of The Aryan, as of lately, now there are reports that some folks within the Nuclear Community within the borders of Iran are expressing the logistics of being recipients of the hardware which can be delivered to Iran, via special delivery, by the 7th Fleet.

I wonder why the Leftinistra pay no attention to MEMRI.

As part of Iran's diplomatic efforts to prevent increased sanctions against it in the U.N. Security Council session slated for September 21, 2007, former Iranian Supreme National Security Council secretary Hassan Rohani is planning a trip to meet with European officials, according to reports in the Iranian media.

Rohani was in charge of Iran's nuclear dossier during the era of the previous Iranian president, reformist Mohammad Khatami, and was the chief negotiator with the West; currently, he is the representative of Iranian Supreme Leader 'Ali Khamenei in the council.

According to the reports, on September 19, 2007 Rohani is to meet with senior German government officials, and to speak to the E.U. Parliament; he is scheduled to meet the following day with E.U. foreign policy chief Javier Solana.(1)

This is not the first time that Supreme Leader 'Ali Khamenei has circumvented Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and presented more pragmatic stances in an attempt to solve crises which have escalated due to Ahmadinejad's extremist policies. During the 2006-7 Lebanese crisis, Khamenei maintained a direct channel of communication with Saudi King Abdullah via Khamenei's confidant, Iranian Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani, who was Ahmadinejad's competitor in the 2005 Iranian presidential election.

Iran and Plutonium Rattling

Here we have France of all nations warning the world of war LONG before the United States has been warning the world...imagine that and go figure.

Along with this warning, we find that not only has Putin dissolved the Russian government and installed something reminiscent of the cold War days, he has developed the Father Of All Bombs (FOAB). What will he do next? oh. Wait. here we are. Russia is sending uranium fuel to Iran.

Couple the above to the following paints a gruesome picture, does it not?

In a speech about Iran's nuclear program, Ahmadinejad declared that Iran has become a global power, and that it would place its nuclear technology at the service of those determined to confront the U.S. and other Western countries. He announced that Iran was now successfully operating over 3,000 centrifuges, continued to downplay the impact of the U.N. Security Council sanctions on Iran, and reiterated Iran's official stance of refusal to freeze its nuclear activity. Ahmadinejad also harshly censured senior Iranian officials who had called for compromise with the West on Iran's nuclear program out of fear of a possible U.S. attack on Iran, hinting that they were traitors.

In addition, Ahmadinejad declared that the world was now at an historic turning point. The history of the West, he said, had reached its end, and the appearance of the Hidden Imam, heralding the era of Islamic Shiite rule, was nigh.(1) Thus, he called on the nations of the world to rise up against the \nhegemony of the West, headed by the U.S., and predicted the imminent collapse of Israel, which he called Satan's standard-bearer.

Are there any questions here for the Moonbats to ask and/or answer? Are they living in some kind of impervious bubble where reason and threats bounce off? Read the rest at MEMRI for the full impact of this development, two days AFTER the rallies in DC. The emphasis above is mine. I suppose the moonbats and their string pullers have the moonbats thinking that they can protect them. When the swords of Allah sever their necks, I wonder what their last thoughts will be?

Another area of interest that moonbats ignore is this:

What in the hell are these people thinking? Oh. Wait. they have been brainwashed by their leadership that actually likes the thought that we could lose this war and our enemies can then promote The Caliphate with impunity.

I thought this article to be extremely appropriate and even more so after the rallies on 9/15/2007....Operation Eagle Justice.

The Turning Point

By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY

War In Iraq: Years from now, people will look back on last week as truly historic. It began with Gen. David Petraeus' fact-filled account of our success on the ground, and it ended with President Bush making the case, stronger than ever, for finishing the job. READ MORE

My sons will be able to look back at this day and say that their Dad stood with fellow Patriots, unlike what my parents did those many years ago. They said that it was merely some loony-tune teenagers with an axe to grind and did nothing. Not this time around. We will not allow it nor will we tolerate it.

On 9/15/2007, I witnessed the turning point. We have the momentum and we cannot afford to go slack and complacent.

The Shoah Of Iran

By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Tuesday, August 28, 2007 4:20 PM PT

War On Terror: Iran's Islamofascist president has once again confirmed that his country is really in a state of war with the U.S. As President Bush warns, refusing to stop Tehran risks nuclear holocaust.

It seems the folks at IBD have been reading my blog? One could only hope.

I remember 1979, thank you very much Jimmy Carter.

The United States has been in a virtual war ever since 1979.

Read the article.

The Newshoggers Are Full of Shiite...As Usual

Here is yet another group of the vintage of KOSmonoffs that don't get the big Picture.

I'm becoming more and more certain that, despite the rhetoric about it being "a last resort", the Bush administration and the neocon WormTongues who formulate its foreign policy are gearing up for an attack on Iran.

Hello? Don't they follow current events or if they do, cannot they follow the trail? They do have some grand talking dulls but they are old, debunked and proven false yet, they cling to them as life itself. I can hardly wait for the Conservative Tsunami to over take these clowns as well.

Perhaps these clowns and the trolls like them should have the Iraq Resolution burned into their synapse pathways.

And perhaps these poor children should memorize these speeches:

GWB Speech 1

GWB speech 2

GWB speech 3

It just might do them some good with their now dead-in-the-water talking dulls.

Why Stop There?

US To Make More Good Jihadis Out Of Bad Ones?

Aren't we in a GWOT? Is cutting off funds enough? Not hardly. Just look at the UN-Iraq scandal. The sanctions worked great didn't they? Again, not hardly.

Like Wake Up America says, "IT IS ABOUT TIME!" However, to me, this action is a baby's First Step. It isn't enough and we have already, in many instances across the globe, have "waited for the right moment" to do the right thing out of fear of the much dreaded Global Permission Network and the Political Correctness Quagmire/Nonsense.

Does anyone remember this?



From WaPo: Iranian Unit to Be Labeled 'Terrorist'

The United States has decided to designate Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, the country's 125,000-strong elite military branch, as a "specially designated global terrorist," according to U.S. officials, a move that allows Washington to target the group's business operations and finances.

I often wonder what takes some folks so long to make the obvious decisions. It has been shown time and time again that the Iranians are arming both the AQ in Afghanistan and Iraq and the Taliban.

If it were me, I wouldn't stop at "business operations and finance". Five or six strategically placed MOABS over and above taking their funds is an appropriate action. Their explosives and ammunition has been used against military members of the United States and that in and of itself is an act of war and the United States hasn't done anything to Iran since Jimmy Carter.

Iran is holding Americans hostage...again...and what are we doing about it? The same as Jimmy Carter and England? Give me a break.

I do believe this is another incident of that Compassionate Conservative thing GWB prattles on about. Sorry President Bush. This action is really no action at all in my book. Perhaps this is a First Step but the initial step isn't quite...well...the stride is not what it could be.

Cutting off their funds is one thing. Destroying the CURRENT and IN USE arsenal is another. Are we going to wait until their arsenal is used up and THEN go "in" after the fact? How many of our military members are we going to "wait and see with"?

Sorry. I cannot buy into this unless there is an immediate "show of force" to convince them we are serious. We have pussy-footed with the enemy for far too long.

The designation of the Revolutionary Guard will be made under Executive Order 13224, which President Bush signed two weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to obstruct terrorist funding. It authorizes the United States to identify individuals, businesses, charities and extremist groups engaged in terrorist activities. The Revolutionary Guard would be the first national military branch included on the list, U.S. officials said -- a highly unusual move because it is part of a government, rather than a typical non-state terrorist organization.

A highly unusual move? Under "normal" circumstances...perhaps. We are not dealing with a "normal" country. The Iranian government and "religious leaders" is a group of people running a country's ruling elite, made up of and controlled by terrorists. Period.

The Revolutionary Guard Corps -- with its own navy, air force, ground forces and special forces units -- is a rival to Iran's conventional troops. Its naval forces abducted 15 British sailors and marines this spring, sparking an international crisis, and its special forces armed Lebanon's Hezbollah with missiles used against Israel in the 2006 war. The corps also plays a key role in Iran's military industries, including the attempted acquisition of nuclear weapons and surface-to-surface missiles, according to Anthony H. Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Having two separate and rival military units internal of one country is not "normal" by any stretch of the imagination. "Normal" chats with such rival governing bodies within one country is not possible. Are we to repeat in Iran the errors in Iraq?

I'm not liking this until I see stronger steps. There are tactical issues here and merely "freezing/taking funds" is a strategic move. The military units in the field, I am sure, would "Rather" have the Iranian explosives removed from service first. Take the money later.
