Accusation & Failure

 

 

AP – The State Department has once again designated Iran as the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, accusing the Islamic Republic of aiding extremists throughout the Middle East, particularly in Iraq.

Iran was singled out for criticism in a year that saw a surge of more than 25 percent in terrorist attacks that killed 40 percent more people than in 2005. Much of the increase was in Iraq where extremists used chemical weapons and suicide bombers to target crowds.

The State Department’s Country Reports on Terrorism 2006 says Iran is the “most active state sponsor” of terrorism with elements of its government — notably the Revolutionary Guards and intelligence ministry — supporting many extremist groups in Iraq and elsewhere.

The two “were directly involved in the planning and support of terrorist acts and continued to exhort a variety of groups, especially Palestinian groups with leadership cadres in Syria and Lebanese Hezbollah, to use terrorism in pursuit of their goals,” the report said.

The Revolutionary Guard has been “linked to armor-piercing explosives that resulted in the deaths of coalition forces” and has helped, along with Lebanon’s radical Hezbollah movement, train Iraqi Shiite extremists to build bombs, it said.

At the same time, “Iran maintained a high-profile role in encouraging anti-Israeli activity, rhetorically, operationally and financially,” the report said, adding Iran has yet to identify, try or turn over senior al-Qaida members it detained in 2003.

My saying- Accusing Iran of aiding extremists throughout the Middle East, particularly in Iraq is a complete false statement made by State Department. Today in Iraq the Shia’s are badly being hit by the Sunni insurgents and Sunni’s not only kill the Shia’s, they are also attacking the coalition forces throughout Iraq. Al-Qaida is a Sunni terrorist group which has been responsible for the deadly attacks on foreign and Iraqi forces.

So how can Iran be linked to the Sunni terrorists such as Al-Qaida while it calls itself a Shia state. The Sunnis are also responsible for the death of the Shia civilians by attacking Shia holy sites and crowded places such as markets.

The US calls the Al-Sadr a Shia terrorist and has bombed the Al-Sadr city so many times and is calling Iran a terrorist nation, while the Iraqi Sunni’s and Saudi Arabia are the ones responsible for terrorist attacks on Iraqi civilians and the coalition and Iraqi armed forces. The United States has failed in Iraq therefore is blaming it’s own error’s on Iran. Why blaming it on Iran? Iran is the only remaining obstacle in the way of unchallenged and unchallengeable U.S.-Israeli hegemony in the region. And not blaming the Sunnis? More recently, a formidable combination of Arab/Sunni client regimes, from Saudi Arabia and Jordan to Egypt and Algeria, has arisen to warn the U.S. that it (and they), face the gruesome prospect of what the Jordanian king calls “the rise of a Shia crescent” led by Iran and comprised of its allies in Iraq as well as the restive, pro-Iranian Shia populations in Lebanon, Bahrain, Kuwait, the eastern provinces of Saudi Arabia and elsehwere; bombing Iran back to Stone Age is the only solution.
