Iran still behind attacks in Iraq
Obama’s 2nd favorite regime, after Hugo Chavez is still helping cause chaos in Iraq. Gen. Ray Odierno commander of US forces in Iraq, says Iran is still behind many of the attacks on US troops.
BAGHDAD (AP) – The top U.S. military commander in Iraq on Tuesday accused Iran of continuing to support and train militants who are carrying out attacks, including most of the ones in Baghdad.
Gen. Ray Odierno said the attacks have fallen in number but are still a problem. He made the comments just after the U.S. relinquished security for Baghdad and other urban areas to Iraqi forces, part of a security agreement that will see all American soldiers out of the country by the end of 2011.
“Iran is still supporting, funding and training surrogates who operate inside of Iraq. They have not stopped and I don’t think they will stop,” Odierno told reporters at the U.S. military headquarters outside Baghdad. “I think many of the attacks in Baghdad are from individuals that have been in fact funded or trained by the Iranians.”
Read the rest.
This will change nothing, Obama and his Progressive followers will still talk to this regime and treat it with respect. The Ayatollahs kill American troops and their own people, yet the International Left loves this regime.

Sorry to go OT, but this is a really good article.

What a loser!

Yes and I see that Hoosier Hoops (who is Defenseman) posts something agreeing with himself (as Defenseman)!
Just got off the phone with my old Kurdish friend. He has moved back there after living in America, and becoming a citizen, nearly twenty years ago.
He is doing well, and is a partner in a paint company.
We talked about things in general, and our friends, and how many of our Kurdish friends have all gone back. We also talked about Iran, and what a deplorable situation the Iranian people have to contend with. He said many Kurds go to Iran for medical treatments, as it closer than Baghdad, and Turkey isn’t very amenable to helping Kurds. He said the Iranian people are all unhappy, and that many of the cities in the NWest of Iran are basically ghost towns. The economy is in a shambles, 30% inflation, and no jobs.

Now, that’s funny!
You know, it is still sickening that Obama, the President of the United States, supports the government that oppresses, violently, its people and spends money and people on killing our soldiers in another country……
Then speaks out against a country that tosses out their president when they tried to take over for life.
Makes you wonder where his priorities are.

Doesn’t make me wonder…at all.
re: #12 by no2liberals
Yeah, that was a bit rhetorical, eh?
2012, come quickly.

I’m aiming at a closer target, 2010.
Cut off his purse strings, and all he has left is his monotonous speech pattern, flat voice, and waning charm.
On the bright side, he will have more time to play with his new dog, as his old lap dog, Media, will lose interest in him.
Quiet room tonight.
Must be the approaching holiday.
Better hit the bunk.
re: #14 by no2liberals
Media will suckle up to him until 2016. He could randomly murder babies and the NY Yankees, he’d still be the DNC pick in 2012, and the world will blame the murders on Rush Limbaugh and Conservatives.

So…. because Pat went to the doctor, he’s required to believe in Evolution?

Dictatorships have tough rules — that’s just the way it is.
Off Topic/ That kid that said Michael Jackson fondled him got a detail wrong.
This is from an article at the Daily Mail:
(”Jordie” = kid who said Jackson molested him)
re: #17 by LanceKates
They’re amazing. Evolution is just one branch of science, and science is comprised of different branches and areas of study.
A rejection of one field (or one view/theory) does not necessarily mean a rejection of all of them.

Journey Thru Creation
re: #20 by CloudyDay
It isn’t even a field, it is a theory that, like a virus, is spreading.
They’ve changed the organization of species. Remember how it used to be? species, genius, etc
Now it is organized based on the evolutionary process…..
re: #17 by LanceKates
Pat Buchanan is a mother******. Charles hating Buchanan is A-OK by me. Sometimes CJ still gets it right. I have no dog in the creationist-evolutionist fight (frankly the topic bores me) but I hate Buchanan with a passion.
re: #23 by Speranza
I can’t stand that man either, but to make the leap from “seeing a doctor” means you MUST believe in evolution is pretty funny… and par for the looozards (love that- THANKS WRATH!!).
