Iranians working in concert with Democrats

In this Fox News story, US forces officials are admitting that many of the roadside devices that are killing our troops are manufactured in Iran;

High-tech bombs allegedly supplied by Iran were used in 99 roadside bomb attacks in Iraq last month, American officials say.

The powerful weapons, known as explosively formed penetrators or EFPs, accounted for a third of combat deaths suffered by coalition forces, the New York Times reported.

Well, that’s not news, is it? We’ve all known it for a while (except for some commenters here who think that Pakistan should be bombed instead of Iran), so what exactly are we waiting for? The news report does bring up one interesting point, though;

Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, the No. 2 commander in Iraq, told the Times he believes Shiite extremists have stepped up attacks in anticipation of Gen. Petreus’ upcoming progress report to Congress on the war.

In other words, the Iranians know they can force a US withdrawal by making Iraq appear hopeless in a relatively short period of time by playing to the Democrats’ surrender dreams. We had Harry Reid calling the surge a failure before it’s even begun – how far will Iranians have to push him before he falls over? Not far, I’m guessing.

And with the slow withdrawal of British troops around Basra, sectarian violence is increasing behind them;

As British forces pull back from Basra in southern Iraq, Shiite militias there have escalated a violent battle against each other for political supremacy and control over oil resources, deepening concerns among some U.S. officials in Baghdad that elements of Iraq’s Shiite-dominated national government will turn on one another once U.S. troops begin to draw down.

Three major Shiite political groups are locked in a bloody conflict that has left the city in the hands of militias and criminal gangs, whose control extends to municipal offices and neighborhood streets.

Which is pretty much what will happen if we withdraw too soon – unless we clamp down on Iran…now! The Iranians know that Democrats are their best chance for turning the Middle East into a charred ember, for forcing their perverted form of extremely cruel brand of religious zealotry on the people that have been kept in the Dark Ages for a millenium by the backwards “religion of Peace” adherents.
