U.S. RAIDS IRANIAN CONSULATE IN IRAQ
January 11th, 2007

In other words, the U.S. just attacked Iran.

Via: BBC:

US forces have stormed an Iranian consulate in the northern Iraqi town of Irbil and seized five members of staff.

The troops raided the building at about 0300, taking away computers and papers, according to Kurdish media and senior local officials.

The US military had no immediate comment on the raid, which comes amid high tension between Iran and the US.

The Bush administration accuses Iran of helping fuel violence in Iraq, as well as trying to develop nuclear weapons.

U.S. Will Engage Syria and Iran
January 11th, 2007

Can anyone see how this will not result in World War III?

Via: BBC:

Succeeding in Iraq also requires defending its territorial integrity - and stabilizing the region in the face of the extremist challenge.

This begins with addressing Iran and Syria. These two regimes are allowing terrorists and insurgents to use their territory to move in and out of Iraq.

Iran is providing material support for attacks on American troops.

We will disrupt the attacks on our forces. We will interrupt the flow of support from Iran and Syria.

And we will seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq.

He just won't quit, will he. Pray that he self destructs before he does any more damage.

Remember Somalia? Alex Jones was speaking on this today.

Pray harder. Pray for all you're worth. I can no longer abide what this country is doing. God have mercy on us and turn us around.

Who will come to help Iran and Syria you think ? Truth be told, the other moderate Sunni nations in the region would privatly welcome Iran be put in check, either by Israel, the U.S. or in some kind of collaboration.

(edit) Far more likely and troubling, is a spread of the Sunni-Shia violence across the Iraq borders.

Also, on today's attack, it's not the first time that Iran national's are raided. On Dec. 24, the U.S. military took at least four Iranians into custody. It did not cause a particular escalation.

The Russians and Chinese sell ALOT of their surplus military supplies and other things to Syria and Iran. They'd be loosing customers and allies.
