America at War with Iran in Iraq
It came to light today that last fall, President Bush authorized the killing or capture of Iranian agents operating in Iraq. The goal of this authorization seems to have had to motives.
- Gain more information about the Iranian Nuclear Enrichment Programs
- Reduce the amount of Iranian influence and support in Iraq
There was also the insinuation of a third motive.
Gordon Johndroe, a spokesman for the NSA, said, "If our troops get actionable intelligence that agents are going to cause our troops or Iraqi citizens harm, they’re going to take whatever force protections that are necessary.”
The story originally broke out of the Washington Post and triggered the President and several politicians to come forward and speak on the matter. A few weeks ago Condoleeza Rice had indicated that Iran was providing components for roadside bombs and training for Shiite militia fighters. That training is thought to be taking place mostly in Iran.
The entire episode today brings to light the fact that our troops are really fighting Iran in Iraq. They are just battling Iran's proxies in the form of Shiite militia.
