re: "Obama Continues to Ignore Iran's Arming and Training of Shiite Militias as American Soldiers Die"

Confederate Yankee ("Because liberalism is a persistent vegetative state.") defines an enemy.


Money quote(s):


"American soldiers in Iraq are being attacked and killed with increasing sophisticated weapons provided by Iran"


That statement has been true since at least 2004.


"Training is being provided by the Revolutionary Guards, which supports Shia terrorism worldwide.


A stern response in the form of a series of "accidents" at Iranian Revolutionary Guards bases or among IRG commanders might get Iranian attention, and if carefully targeted, could decapitate the leadership authorizing the attacks without overt war. It would be fighting Iran on its own terms, in the kind of guerilla warfare fighting Americans have excelled at since Major Benjamin Church led the first American ranger units in King Philips War a hundred years before we were an inkling of a nation.


We know how to defeat Iran at their own game. We simply need the political will to engage in this kind of conflict and win.


Of course, there doesn't seem to be the political will to counter Iran"


A truly lovely idea.

re: "Iran's war"

Tigerhawk ("thoughts of the day on international affairs, politics, things that strike us as hilarious and personal observations") keeps his eye on the ball.

Money quote(s):

"The Islamic Republic is up to no good, again"

Color me shocked. Shocked!

"Casus belli, for sure. I tend to believe that it is not in our interests to attack Iran -- at least not right now -- but it is important to remember that if we did our war would be just and lawful."

Not that it will matter: the same nuttering nabobs will whine as whined about our invasion of Iraq after a decade of their ceasefire violations.
