Iran Ratchets Up War On U.S. ***With Update Including Suicide Bomb Video***

Is peace still possible with Al Sadr alive?

A suicide bomber killed at least two Sunni lawmakers at a Parliament cafeteria in Baghdad today.




Just days ago Al Sadr forced a demonstration calling for a U.S. abandonment of Iraq, which would leave him and his parner Achmedinejad to pillage as much of the country as they could. In the wake of this event, fresh streetbattles with Al Sadr’s militia have erupted in Baghdad. 4,000 of Al Sadr’s Mahdi Army soldiers were trained in Iran. They continue to be armed by Iran.

The jig is up: there can be no victory in Iraq as long as Al Sadr is alive. There can be no peace without fighting Iran back.

Keep in mind that the only reason why neither have been done so far is due to pressure from the Left. Their constant counsel against aggession constantly leads us to suffering, and can only lead ultimately to defeat. Every time we employ a “liberal” instinct in this war, we are set back. And I’m talking about the big picture of this war, not merely Iraq.

***UPDATE***

Major General William Caldwell

This morning the U.S. military offered further proof of Iran’s undeclared war on our country, and its ongoing slaughter of young Americans in Iraq. Note especially the details of Iran’s hi-tech, super IED bombings of our troops.

Interestingly, just before speculation started that the Parliament bomber was a Sunni, and therefor not likely connected to the U.S. Democratic party’s military wing, the country of Iran, the U.S. military issued a statement that it’s intelligence indicated that Iran was indeed arming Sunnis as well. This would indicate that Iran understands that all that is needed to arm their allies in the Democratic Party is overall chaos in Iraq.

From the wires:

BAGHDAD, Iraq – Iraqi militia fighters are being trained in Iran to build and use deadly armor-piercing roadside bombs and complex attack strategies against American forces, a U.S. general said in a new presentation of evidence of Iranian meddling.
Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said interrogations of fighters captured as recently as this month confirmed many had been in Iranian training camps.
“They do receive training on how to assemble and employ EFPs,” Caldwell said. EFPs – explosively formed penetrators – can penetrate armored vehicles with fist-size lumps of molten copper. U.S. officials say EFPs have killed at least 170 U.S. soldiers.
“We know that they are being in fact manufactured and smuggled into this country, and we know that training does go on in Iran for people to learn how to assemble them and how to employ them. We know that training has gone on as recently as this past month from detainees’ debriefs,” Caldwell said.
He would not say which arm of the Iranian government was doing the training but called the instructors “surrogates” of Iran’s intelligence agency. He said the U.S. military has evidence Iranian agents are active in Iraq in funding, training and arming Shiite militia fighters. He showed photographs of what he said were Iranian-made mortar rounds, RPG rounds and rockets found in Iraq.
Commanders of a splinter group inside rogue cleric Moqtada al-Sadr’s Mahdi Army have told TheAssociated Press up to 4,000 militia members were trained in Iran and have stockpiles of EFPs. Al-Sadr is believed to be hiding in Iran. The Mahdi Army commanders said Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard is running the training operation.
