Iraq: US Army detains four jihadists with connections to Iranian intelligence

Act of war. "US Army arrests four insurgents in Iraq," from KUNA, June 21 (thanks to Jeffrey Imm):

BAGHDAD, June 21 (KUNA) -- US forces in Iraq have detained five insurgents with connections to Iranian intelligence during a two-day raid on militia groups in Baghdad and Hilla that started on Friday.

The US Army said in a statement released on Saturday that an operation carried out in Baghdad led to the arrest of an Iranian-trained militia group leader, who also held information leading to several sources from the Iranian secret intelligence....

Seperatly [sic], another raid was carried out in the city of Hilla, south of Baghdad, leading to the capture of the head of a terrorist training and assassination network.

The terrorist network is a division of the Mahdi Army and receives backing from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and the Iranian Intelligence to carry out acts of violence against security forces and civilians in Iraq.

"Detains"...oooh, that sounds so scary. 3 hots and a cot, arrow towards mecca, the whole nine yards. They might even bring out the cushy pillow torture on these guys.
Notice the article calls the "insugents" not jihadists, of course. Must have been murderous Baha'i or Jainists.

What? No bedtime stories? Shocking.

What are we waiting for?? How many times does this have to happen before we do something? War starts in Iraq because of pretend WMD's , then we keep finding Iranian soldiers/spies/weapons for real and we do nothing. Not to mention their uranium "peaceful" program. Is it just me or does the whole thing make no sense??

We are winning. The Iraqi people are giving us the intel to stop these agents. The Iraqi funding bill gives us another year of breathing room. That gives us another year to build the Iraqi security forces.

So we can elect Obama and he wont be able to f-it up. Bush has done great since Rumsfield was canned.

Absolutely right!

It took Pearl Harbor to awaken the Sleeping Giant that is America. This is Pearl Harbor, but just a little bit at a time.

When will the saturation point be reached? When a nuke is detonated by these animals?

But...keep in mind...death is what they seek...for everyone in the Muslim world. How else can one attain Paradise?

They beg for death every damn day...so that FINALLY...they can achieve orgasm.

Good God...so sick and twisted...they need killin' big time.

So sad. So very many of the Iranian people want to be free of the tyranny of Islam...yet they will die with the scum that rule them.

I pray they will stand up soon and free themselves of these murderous tyrants. If they don't...like I've said...the weeds will fall with the wheat and all will be plowed under.

Islam is a lie and truth is killing it.

Anytime a Mohammedan says "peace," he really means "War."

Sad thing is these people have been in Irag with the onset of this renewed action against Saddam. We had a right to remove Saddam and his sons, but we should have wiped out more of the resistance of any kind. Iran has America in it sights, as they have sence 79. Maybe Iraq is a stageing ground for the coming battle with Iran, time is past due to have dealt with the Irainians.

lol sorry for the 3pete

Congrats to the US military who have detained five insurgents with connections to Iranian intelligence...A job well done!

Cutting away at the Iranian Cancer. After the Surgery comes the Cemo.

What ever happened to the Great Skunk and his mighty Army? The one the MSM built up to an Army to beat all Armies?

One must admire the Cultural differences in Command styles of these Great Islamic Skunk Clerks. Where leadership is best administered, from ANOTHER COUNTRY!

Iranian intelligence? Is that anything like army intelligence or business ethics?
Imagine if the Iranians ever took over New Orleans: They'd celebrate the "Mahdi Gras" and all the revelers would whip themselves into a bloody frenzy, dance on Danish flags and stone adulterers while singing "When the hidden imam comes marching in". Then it'll be time to blow the levee.

ruebecca:
I hope you're right, despite my cynicism, which was absolutely not directed at the troops on the ground. I have no doubt that at the operational level this is very serious, dangerous stuff. Where it breaks down is at the administrative, legislative and executive level. The disconnect between those straspheric levels and the ground-level danger is so great that currying favor with the Islamically-shackled Muslim political class takes precedence, despite the historic futility of such attempts.
