Iranian Agents Attacking The Awakening In Iraq
Want to know how dangerous the Persian Mad Mullahs of Iran are? It turns out from both Iraqi and US intelligence sources that Iranian assassins are actively targeting the leaders of the Iraqi Awakening – basically working to save al-Qaeda from being routed by Iraqi Muslims:
Why is Iran going after al Qaeda’s enemies in Iraq? A few days ago, Iraqi spymaster Mohammed Abdullah Shahwani accused Iran of trying to sabotage al Qaeda’s opposition. “We have information confirming that Iranian secret services have sent agents to sabotage the Sahwa [i.e. the “Awakening”] experience in Iraq,” Shahwani said shortly before Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s visit to Iraq. Shahwani “stressed the need for the Iraqi people to be vigilant in facing these activities.”
The U.S. Military has apparently confirmed and added supporting details to Shahwani’s accusation. According to Adnkronos International (AKI), U.S. military spokesman Adm. Gregory Smith explained: “the American military recently obtained confessions from detainees who are members of the Al-Quds Brigade and other Shia group who have been arrested in various parts of Iraq, who said that they were assigned to carry out armed operations to kill the leaders and the members of the Awakening Councils, in order to destroy this experiment.”
Iran is playing a dangerous game in becoming a state at war against Iraq and America, and allied with al-Qaeda against us. The one last hope al-Qaeda had was to try and turn the Awakening around through fear and intimidation. Now we learn al-Qaeda is too weak to do this and has had to rely on Iranians to do the ‘wet work’. Bush and the EU and others need to send Iran a clear signal of what it means to send their fighters into Iraq to kill Iraqis.
I think some well placed cruise missiles would do the trick quite nicely.
Has Bush “wimped” out on Iran?
AJ, go over to Debka and read the article they published
this week about a secret Bush-Iran Saudi mediated deal
in which Bush lets the Iranians get a bit closer to a weapon
and Iran lets Bush leave the Presidency with Iraq at peace
of sorts.
Now I know, it’s debka. Sometimes they are wrong, but a
lot of time they are right. Dunno. If true it stinks. See
what you make of it.
Dave M,
Want to know what is wrong with the right wing? After years of Bush leading the international battle against Iran’s nukes you find Debka more credible.
Gimme a break.
Sorry. That’s not an answer.
I am not a member of America’s Right. In fact I cast my
absentee ballot in California for McCain before it was
obvious that McCain had any momentum at all.
Ban me if you want, but that answer sucks.
In a world where it is almost impossible to find any news
that can be trusted anywhere at all, one does the best that
one can to find sources. How does one figure out if those
sources have any legitimacy? By correlating their success
over a period of some years.
By that test I would give Debka about a 75% rating.
That is more than I would give Fox News, significantly owned
by a Saudi sheik, though still a minority.
Let’s look at it.
We have the publishing of an inexplicably stupid National
Inteligence Estimate summary. Why? We have your recommendation
that Bush should fire off some cruise missiles?
He does not seem likely to do that. Why?
After years of leading “the international effort”.?????
That’s equivalent to saying after years of leading doodly.
The situation with Iran will only be solved in one of three ways.
1) We pre-emptively attack Iran before 2009
2) We let Israel do it for us before 2009
3) We wait until Iran attacks the West and hope we respond.
There are no other options.
To pretend that there are suggests that one should hope
for Obama to win.
All I asked you to do was to read and comment on their article.
Debka is credible enough to be taken seriously. More seriously
than most of the alphabet news stations in aggregate.
You seem to have it in for the “Right Wing” and have you now
started to lump everyone who asks you a question into that
“right wing”?
I say it is uncalled for.
