These "special groups" are "funded, trained, armed and directed by Iran's Quds Force with help from Lebanese Hezbollah. It was these groups that launched Iranian rockets and mortar rounds at Iraq's seat of government (the Green Zone) ... causing loss of innocent life and fear in the capital."
Oh really? Is that what the military-industrial complex paid you to say?
First McCain says that Al Qaeda is in Iraq after being in Iran and now you're saying that Iranian special forces are training the "extremists."
Get your stories straight warmongers, its getting a bit old.
Is the Iranian government aware of this – and behind it?
"President Ahmadinejad and other Iranian leaders" promised to end their "support for the special groups," said the general, but the "nefarious activities of the Quds force have continued."
Oh how convenient. So Ahmadinejad doesn't support these rebels anymore, but the "evil" special forces guys are?
How about the CIA training Al Qaeda and Bin Laden during the Afghan war? Were they doing "nefarious" activities? If not, how can you judge another nation for trying to rid their neighboring country of an occupier?
Its a bit hypocritical.
Are Iranians then murdering Americans, asked Joe Lieberman:
"Is it fair to say that the Iranian-backed special groups in Iraq are responsible for the murder of hundreds of American soldiers and thousands of Iraqi soldiers and civilians?"
"It certainly is. ... That is correct," said Petraeus.
Iran isn't killing Americans, but Iranian-backed groups are. Oh I see the distinction.
General it seems you do not want to point the finger directly at Ahmadinejad because you may have somewhat of a conscience left. However, those who control you want war so they will have it. Am I correct?
The following day, Petraeus told the House Armed Services Committee, "Unchecked, the 'special groups' pose the greatest long-term threat to the viability of a democratic Iraq."
Translation: The United States is now fighting the proxies of Iran for the future of Iraq.
Awesome, another proxy war. Instead of fighting the Soviets, now we're fighting the Iranians.
Different day, same story. Can you at least be a little more creative next time? I can see right through your facade of lies.
There is no democracy in Iraq in the first place. It is a US-backed puppet faux-republic. The US military is there to ensure the government is not taken out by rebels and "insurgents."
Once we leave Iraq is going to hell in a hand-basket anyway. Face the facts.
That is, unless the plan was never to leave Iraq.
Its all making sense.
The general's testimony is forcing Bush's hand, for consider the question it logically raises: If the Quds Force and Hezbollah, both designated as terrorist organizations, are arming, training and directing "special groups" to "murder" Americans, and rocket and mortar the Green Zone to kill our diplomats, and they now represent the No. 1 threat to a free Iraq, why has Bush failed to neutralize these base camps of terror and aggression?
I'd say Bush forced Petraeus' mouth, but ok. I'll go with it. It looks like we're going to war with Iran.
Hence, be not surprised if President Bush appears before the TV cameras, one day soon, to declare:
"My commanding general in Iraq, David Petraeus, has told me that Iran, with the knowledge of President Ahmadinejad, has become a privileged sanctuary for two terrorist organizations – Hezbollah and the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard – to train, arm and direct terrorist attacks on U.S. and coalition forces, despite repeated promises to halt this murderous practice.
"I have therefore directed U.S. air and naval forces to begin air strikes on these base camps of terror. Our attacks will continue until the Iranian attacks cease."
Here we go. Next up, US draft.
