Iran rockets & IEDs don't kill

4 Comments

Iranians

and Iranian trained terrorists kill using Iranian weaponry.

I notice you don't point out that Iraqi's are turning against the so called militias.

"Iraqi's turning against militias"

You make the same mistake here that conservatives make when talking about America and Americans. The militias are composed of Iraqis.

I wanted to hear Hugh's latest update on Iraq yesterday, he said something good was going on and we should know about it. But, is any conservative talking about the fact that Iraq will be under Sharia law no matter what else happens? Body counts going down in good. Tribes turning against militias is good insofar as it might diminish the level of violence, but the tribes will institute Sharia law when they take over. Hugh never talks about that.

Mistake?

Militias are composed of Iraqis, Iranians, Saudis, Jordanians, Syrians, etc. Perhaps you missed the report (not on MSM of course) as to identity of many of the leaders of the "militias".

Now how do you get to Sharia Law is a forgone conclusion? Unless you are admitting that Iran is personally involved in Iraq? Most liberals do not admit the direct involvement of Iran yet they are the proponents of Sharia Law not the Iraqi Shias.

Believe you are factually wrong there

My understanding is that both Sunnis and Shiites
prefer Sharia law. It's Islamic law, not the province of either one separately. So, I think the fact is that we will get Sharia law whatever happens. Iran is Shiite.

As to the involvement of Iran I have read some interesting books and articles about the connection between Iraq and Iran and other mid-eastern countries. It's like going between Texas and Oklahoma and Louisiana. There has been commercial traffic between the countries for a very long time. Manufacturers in one country ship and sell their products to the other countries en mass. People flow back and forth between the countries constantly. The interconnections are prolific. But conservatives imagine that there is not nor has there ever been traffic between the countries. Unreal.
