Iran Joined Militias In Battle For Basra?
You know, the biggest pain in the ass has been piglet Mookie. Heavens to Mergatroid wouldn’t we like to see his skull split open by a nice speeding round of hot metal. He’s in cahoots with Quds/Irgc and thus with Iran…sheesh.
At the very least, Iran needs to have one of its arms chopped off, the IRGC/Quds arm.
IRANIAN forces were involved in the recent battle for Basra, General David Petraeus, the US commander in Iraq, is expected to tell Congress this week.
Military and intelligence sources believe Iranians were operating at a tactical command level with the Shi’ite militias fighting Iraqi security forces; some were directing operations on the ground, they think.
Petraeus may use the evidence of Iranian involvement to argue against any reductions in US forces.
Dr Daniel Goure, a defence analyst at the Lexington Institute in Virginia, said: “There is no question that Petraeus will be tough on Iran. It is one thing to withdraw troops when there is purely sectarian fighting but it is another thing if it leaves the Iranians to move in.”
US defence chiefs are concerned that the troop surge has overstretched the military. Admiral Mike McMullen, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, warned that the army and marines were at risk of crossing an “invisible red line” if the burden on forces remained. He said deployments of 15 months had to be reduced to a year “as fast as possible”.
Petraeus is likely to announce that combat tours will be reduced from 15 months to 12 months.
The number of US troops in Iraq is set to fall from 160,000 to 140,000 by July, but Petraeus is expected to recommend an indefinite pause in further troop cuts.
Moqtada al-Sadr, the radical Shi’ite cleric, has called for 1m people to march on Baghdad on Wednesday – the fifth anniversary of the fall of the capital – when Petraeus and Ryan Crocker, the US ambassador to Iraq, will be briefing Congress.

Leave it to Mookie to not know which end of the pig to screw …
I always figured him for a dry humper.

It’s always a grotesque spectacle to see someone with decency and honor having to sit before that pack of jackals.

All members of the military are required to go unarmed when facing any member of the House or Senate. That is why the liberal traiters have their bravado, because they can have said member arrested on just about any pretext, and since they are unarmed, the odds of fighting back are low.
Notice how they are all against the common man being armed, yet hide behind armed police and privae security?
typical hypocrits.
BTW, Godspeed Charlton Heston.
You have been an incredible inspiration to millions, your leadership of the NRA and so many other gifts to this nation will never be forgotten
