Base Where Iran Trains Terrorists to Kill Americans in Iraq Revealed

For over a year, it's been a well established fact that Iran has been conducting another of their proxy wars against the United States. See this report from February 2007 which details Iran's involvment and asked:

At what point do we show Iran that there IS a price to be paid for killing Americans?


Example of damage from Iranian weapons that have killed Americans in Iraq.

More recently, look at the reports of the Multinational Forces Iraq (U.S. and coalition. There has been no letup in the number of attacks Iran has launched using Shias trained and supplied by Iran.

So I ask again: At what point do we show Iran that there IS a price to be paid for killing Americans?

Former U.S. Ambassador John Bolton has had enough!

John Bolton: US should bomb Iranian camps

Mr Bolton said that striking Iran would represent a major step towards victory in Iraq. While he acknowledged that the risk of a hostile Iranian response harming American’s overseas interests existed, he said the damage inflicted by Tehran would be “far higher” if Washington took no action.

“This is a case where the use of military force against a training camp to show the Iranians we’re not going to tolerate this is really the most prudent thing to do,” he said. “Then the ball would be in Iran’s court to draw the appropriate lesson to stop harming our troops.”

A US military spokesman revealed last week that the elite Quds Force of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards had drafted in personnel from Lebanon’s Hizbollah to train fighters from Iraq’s Shia militias.

Colonel Donald Bacon, a spokesman for the coalition in Baghdad, said captured fighters had told interrogators that thousands of Iraqi fighters were undergoing training in the Islamic Republic.

The main camp is located near the town of Jalil Azad, near Tehran, according to coalition officials.

The capture of Qais Khazali, a major figure in the Shia insurgency alongside Ali Mussa Daqduq, a senior Lebanese Hizbollah guerilla, last year yielded a treasure trove of information on Hizbollah’s activities in Iraq.

“Ali Mussa Daqduq confirmed Lebanese Hizbollah were providing training to Iraqi Special Group members in Iran and that his role was to assess the quality of training and make recommendations on how the training could be improved,” said Col Bacon. “In this role, he travelled to Iraq on four occasions and was captured on his fourth trip.”

Maybe we should take out Hezbollah too!
