Iran is THE Problem....
Sooner or later, somebody is going to have to tackle Iran.
Iran is sustaining the insurgency against British and American forces in Iraq by supplying terrorists with weapons and cash, senior military figures have claimed.I'm all for new thinking on Iraq - but their seems to be a rush to judgement that we have to 'talk' to the Iranians. It's clear we need to give them a strong message - and a strong message to the Iraqui government who also shields Shiite militias. But, who has the stomach to deliver tough messages these days? The Europeans? George Bush? The Democratic Congress?
British forces are enduring daily bombardments of mortar bombs and rockets at their bases in Basra. The weapons are believed to be sponsored, funded and smuggled from Iran whose border is just over 10 miles from the southern Iraq capital.
Military sources have disclosed that there is "very, very strong intelligence" that elements inside Iran have continued to fund and support the gun-running. There is still no "concrete evidence", in part, it is claimed, because Iranian weapons are designed to be untraceable.
"But we know when something goes bang there is an Iranian influence on that bomb," an intelligence official said.
In Basra, Iranian trucks could be seen going through customs with little hindrance from the Department of Border Enforcement.

You're on the right track here... but think bigger.
What's putting the swagger into the free-wheeling Iranian bully?
"I've gotta say, Iranian Prez Madman Ahmadinejad scares the bejesus out of me. The really bad news is, it looks like he's got some new best friends. Let's remember that an Israeli naval corvette was put out of action on July 18 by what was reported as an Iranian supplied weapon."
"In actual fact, the ordnance that smoked this boat was a Chinese C-802 Silkworm anti-ship missile."
China these days is like Iran's big brother. And China has a huge appetite for oil and global ambitions... and as one of the Big Five, also has a veto at the United Nations Security Council.
Can you say 'big trouble'?
You guys are funny, we're watching you, the media is watching you, and it was 100% behind you in the last election.
And you want a majority?
All Harper had to do was to convice Canadians he could be trusted with a majority. Amazing failure.
Harper, the wrong guy at the right time.
The only reason Iran hasn't been invaded is that Iraq was. There arn't enough troops to hold both at once.
America's army, like most of the world, is currently configured for fighting similar armies. Tanks and bombs and really big guns. Invading Iran would be little harder than invading Iraq. And Bush could have done it, but he instead choose Iraq.
