Iran thanks the brave American soldiers!

americangoy.blogspot.com — 2 Shia factions are fighting - Hakim's Badr corps and Muqtada al-Sadr nationalists. Badr Corps is openly pro Iran, and they have the majority bloc in Iraqi Parliament. al-Sadr is an Iraqi nationalist, wary of ALL foreign influence in Iraq, USA, Iran etc. Now USA troops are helping Badr fight al-Sadr. IRAN thanks America for its help!

  • Bkaufman, on 03/28/2008, -5/+19Great example of how the occupation of Iraq has basically turned into us meddling in a civil war that we should have nothing to do with.
    • omegaredIX, on 03/29/2008, -3/+6Have you seen Cheneys video where he states that invading Iraq would cause a civil war and massive unrest, a quagmire to use his own words. I am going to search for it and upload it, thats if it hasnt been already uploaded
      • americangoy, on 03/29/2008, -3/+1that was bush sr, W's father i think, not cheney

        i could be wrong.
      • TrevaLVF, on 03/29/2008, -2/+3Cheney had indeed made such a warning years ago. I saw the video. I believe, it was being embedded from youtube.com.
      • Kizilbash, on 03/29/2008, -1/+1It was Cheney, he was a member of Bush sr.'s cabinet at the time.
  • Cryptocracy, on 08/17/2008, -8/+5and Israel is to blame for 9/11 which got us into this mess in the first place.
    • americangoy, on 03/29/2008, -4/+6I disagree with that b-owl...
      I didn't do a 9/11 investigation on my own yet, and I am loathe to give credence to one or the other conspiracy theories...

      and for the record, I consider the government official version of 9/11 as just another conspiracy theory, as good or as bad as any other one.
      • cageybee, on 03/29/2008, -5/+4to respond to a threat from Iraq dumping US dollar and asking for Euros for oil in 2000, Bush needed a diplomatic cover for an invasion of Iraq. he created "war on terror." how do you create a terror on america?? it is impossible to get american agents or soldiers to do it, so you outsource the "terror" to america's ally Israel.
    • PATSCRU, on 03/29/2008, -3/+2robots did 9/11....watch the tapes.
    • rexblade, on 03/31/2008, -0/+1I don't think its fair to place the blame on 1 country I think that there are multiple governments involved we know for a fact members of the Pakistani government were and there is strong evidence of Saudi royalty playing a part as well. We should be careful not to turn our anger at an entire country because these things were done without the people knowing and I bet that most people in the world would not approve of such activities.
  • britoca, on 03/29/2008, -2/+4I tried to warn u people back in 03...
    • WiseWeasel, on 03/29/2008, -1/+1Damnit, if only we'd listened to britoca! Why doesn't everyone stop and ask themselves, "What would britoca do?"
    • chicofaraby, on 03/29/2008, -1/+1"I tried to warn u people back in 03..."

      Millions of us did. We were in the streets of every major city BEFORE the illegal invasion. Iraq was never a threat. It was always been an absurd claim on it's face.
  • Rotzooi, on 03/29/2008, -2/+6I think I speak for all of Iran, when I also thank the generous American taxpayers who have made all of this possible! Thank you! Allahu Akbar!


    NB Death to America!
  • Kizilbash, on 03/29/2008, -2/+5Here's an article from The Nation a couple of weeks ago on how Iran is winning the Iraq war: http://www.thenation.com/doc/20080310/dreyfuss

    "After the 2003 US invasion, amid the chaos and looting that followed the collapse of Saddam's regime, SCIRI and Badr forces flooded across the Iranian border into Iraq. "Border control was nonexistent," says Wayne White, who in 2003 headed the Iraq team at the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research. "The Iranians could just drive across.... They would come in convoys, ten trucks at a time." Ali Allawi, a postwar Iraqi defense minister and author of The Occupation of Iraq, wrote, "About 10,000 trained and disciplined Badr fighters entered Iraq, either unarmed or armed only with light weapons, and reassembled in various towns and cities as the fighting arm of SCIRI." (Other estimates involve significantly higher numbers.) Lavishly financed by Iran, SCIRI and Badr installed their leaders within days in ad hoc posts in Baquba, Kut and other key junctions in the south. Wary of Iran, but seeing little alternative to the turban-wearing clerics of SCIRI and Badr, US and British occupation authorities put the party's officials into top positions. From the early, US-selected Iraqi Governing Council in 2003 onward, Abdel-Aziz al-Hakim was named to a succession of key leadership posts, and top SCIRI officials were installed in various ministries, the police and the army. In the Shiite-dominated south SCIRI officials were named to run provincial authorities, cities and towns. They were viewed by the United States and Britain as natural allies in the struggle against remnants of the Baath Party and the burgeoning Sunni resistance--precisely the forces that Iran, too, saw as its deadliest foes.

    Virtually en masse, Badr officers were recruited to the fledgling Iraqi police and army that were being assembled by the United States. According to Raed Jarrar, the Iraq consultant for the American Friends Service Committee, Badr officers maintained their same ranks when they were inducted into the Iraqi security forces. A particularly nasty part of Badr's work in Iraq from 2003 to the present has been the operation of death squads. Often, such units were run directly by Iraq's Interior Ministry, whose Badr-controlled police were blamed for assassinating hundreds of former government officials, ex-military and intelligence officers, and civilian professionals, according to widespread media reports. "I was told in the summer of 2003 in Tehran that the change in regime in Baghdad had allowed Iranian intelligence to identify every single individual who had worked in the Iran section of the Iraqi intelligence service," says Mahan Abedin, director of research at the Centre for the Study of Terrorism in London. "They were able to get as much detail as possible about their person, their movement, their connections, their mobile number. All that information was collected." They were eradicated, Abedin says, in a "hidden war."

    "Right after the fall of Saddam, [the United States] went looking for the Iraqi intelligence operatives whose target was Iran," says Judith Yaphe, a former CIA Iraq specialist. "If you're Iran, or very pro-Iranian, you're not going to like those guys, are you? We wanted to use them, and Iran wanted to get rid of them. And there's only one way to get rid of them." Anxious not to allow the United States to make common cause with these operatives, Tehran used its muscle to wipe them out."
    • americangoy, on 03/29/2008, -1/+4This basically proves my article.

      Again, American soldiers are fighting for Iranian interests in Iraq, and against the Iraqi nationalists....
      Boggles the mind.

      What is most distressing is that you won't hear this analysis ANYWHERE on TV.... No background, no info, just "Government forces fighting the (evil, baby killer, spawn of satan) al-Sadr"
  • rexblade, on 03/31/2008, -0/+1I see the irony here but I really don't see any problem with Iran having an influence in the area I mean Iran and Iraq share a border they had better get along. We gave Saddam the bio-chem weapons to use against Iran. Weve conducted black ops in Iran to destabilize their government. Basically we've gone out of our way for decades to seriously negatively ***** with Iran. From what I have seen of Iran they actually have a culture and have never done anything to the United States. They have every right to be on their guard especially these days with Americans foreign policy is openly aggressive and constantly trying to find a reason to attack them. Now Pakistan is far more dangerous then Iran and they already have nukes. Its kind of unfair to forbid Iran to have them and then hook up Israel with them. Why in the hell do we even have sanctions on Iran anyway? Do we hate them just because they caught us pulling our ***** 1 to many times?
