Fresh Iranian training? What I want to know is why we are not holding Iran responsible for their role in the War on Terror? They have declared war on the US and it's allies. They want to destroy Israel. They have taken hostages. They disregard anything that comes from the UN (no surprise there).
BAGHDAD -- Shi'ite militiamen, who melted away from Baghdad when U.S. and Iraqi troops began their security crackdown seven weeks ago, are rolling back into the city with fresh Iranian training, Iraqi and other officials said.
It is not clear whether the radical Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr is in control of the newly trained group, which some Iraqis describe as a "secret army" trained and equipped by Iran.
A new element appears to be entering the territory: an extreme Mahdi Army splinter group that broke off from Sheik al-Sadr, went to Iran for training and started to return, said one Iraqi with intimate knowledge of the group.
Why are we not reacting to reports like this. I would hope, if the Iranians took Americans hostage, we would go get them immediately. But, I'm not sure we would. In my eyes we should have attacked Iran along ago.
