The Shiite Army In Iraq

Is that a new term for you readers, the 'Shiite Army in Iraq'? Apparently our own military and the media no longer refer to them as insurgents, or militias, now it is the term is 'army'. A United States official says that Hezbollah is training the Mahdi Army in Lebanon and inside Iraq. Iran and Syria has made this Hezbollah training possible. Now more than one Iraq study group wants the United States to 'confer' with Iran and Syria in an effort to calm the violence in Iraq. Sounds stupied to me. Sounds like the idiots in Washington have no clue what's actually going on in the region.

But don't jump on them too soon. There may be method to their madness:

The claim about Hezbollah’s role in training Shiite militias could strengthen the hand of those in the Bush administration who oppose a major new diplomatic involvement with Iran. The new American account is consistent with a claim made in Iraq this summer by a mid-level Mahdi commander, who said his militia had sent 300 fighters to Lebanon, ostensibly to fight alongside Hezbollah. “They are the best-trained fighters in the Mahdi Army,” he said, speaking on condition of anonymity. ...

“There seems to have been a strategic decision taken sometime over late winter or early spring by Damascus, Tehran, along with their partners in Lebanese Hezbollah, to provide more support to Sadr to increase pressure on the U.S.,” the American intelligence official said. source

According to intelligence, Iran provides explosives and trigger devices for roadside bombs, training for several thousand fighters, mostly in Iran by Iranian Revolutionary Guards and the Ministry of Intelligence and Security, and MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY.

Now doesn't that make you trust them and want to sit down to the negotiating table with them? Hmmmm? And then there's this: Sheikh Hareth Al Dhari - head of the Iraqi religious Sunni authority has issued a call 'to withdraw the recognition of the current government due its sectarianism' ...

... not only by Arab governments, but by the Iraqi people themselves, "who are the victims of the campaign of lies in the past four years."

When the United Nations confirms the killing of more than 4,000 Iraqis a month and the fleeing of 2 million people from the country, it argued, it means that it is high time for the Iraqi people to wake up and "say no to this ruling bunch that sunk them into blood baths and destroyed their present." source

Sir Duck, thanks for the insight. We try to be open to the truth here, whatever it might be. I find it strange that the MSM has chosen to call what's going on in Iraq 'civil war', when those who have actually been there do not see it that way.

Keep us informed as you have a much closer look at the situation than I do.

I would like this for people to understand there is no civil war in Iraq. I know having been there and fixing to go back. The bad guys are using the tactics that were used in Vietnam. Their is a group of bad guys in Iraq that one day they kill the Shites and the next day they kill the Sunnis and the news media blames the attacks on each other calling it a civil war. The bad guys know this, the Iraqi gov knows this and so do we but the Iraqis need to defend themselves which the last time I was there they had a problem in doing this and there will be a change coming, I know. Mark in what I'm trying to say because this is all I can say at this time. Thank you Debbie on your site there is no sugar coating and as a friend of mine who is no longer here always said "truths the truth"

Hey, welcome back! I didn’t know what happened to you. Why would people snub you? You don’t need them if that’s the way they act.

Thanks for the mention and I will blogroll the new site. I like the look.

Sometimes I feel like dumping the entire blogging thing, sipping iced tea and reading a good book. But I would feel guilty, ha.

[Layla]

Thanks Debbie and I know what you mean about the feeling guilty part. Besides, for all my writers block the last four months after what happened I didn’t know what to do with myself. I am addicted to blogging….lol!!

Hey Debbie great post.

I have been out of commission after I lost Freedom Watch (hacked and then some--it was awful).

I am finally back, new blog--new name--and on a roll.

I hope you will welcome me back since some folks are ignoring me - (maybe threatened cuz I did kick butt..lol) despite the fact it was not my fault I fell out for four months. After all that hard work lost who would not take a hiatus?

It was like loosing something important-and I took that blog seriously, but hey--guess that is life.

Anyhow, I linked ya and hope you will visit sometimes and check me out--I may have lost Freedom Watch to left loonies, but The HILL Chronicles has a lot of freedom watch left over in it .... lol!
