The Iranians have been having a field day in Iraq as the MSM refuses to report on their war against Iraqi sovereignty. Now in a very open-ended declaration President Bush has given his military commanders in Iraq permission to respond to Tehran's provocations. Good. It's about fucking time, and I hope they answer the mullahs in kind and then some just to put a finer point on it.

Jeff Emanuel's must-read reporting:

Recently, a Public Affairs officer within Multinational Force-Iraq privately expressed his concern to me that the media were spiking or deliberately misrepresenting reports made by the military about Iranian involvement and the capture of Persian fighters within Iraq. “We would arrest three members of the al Quds force (part of the Revolutionary Guard), and the story that would come out in the papers the next day would be, ‘Three Iranian diplomats arrested from embassy.’ I’d call the folks at the papers and say, ‘Look, these folks weren’t diplomats, and they weren’t at an embassy. They’re Iranian soldiers and they were taken while fighting against the coalition in Iraq.’ I’d say to them, ‘We have evidence – from weapons to ID cards to uniforms – that proves beyond a doubt who and what they are,’ and I’d offer to bring them in and walk through each piece of evidence with them.

“They’d never take me up on it, and would never correct their stories.”

Iran, quite simply, seeks regional hegemony – and their oft-stated second goal of the utter destruction of Israel, along with every one of its citizens.

Iraq is simply the first battleground in a much larger war not only for the Middle East, but for the West as well – and, along with this larger war (as has been repeatedly promised by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad himself) a second Holocaust is coming.

To all of those who promised “never again”: wake up now – it is coming. It has already begun in Iraq, and will only grow from there. It is not too late to stop it; however, if the West does not overcome its complacency in the very near future, then it may not be too long before it is in fact too late.

Both the MSM and Tehran are playing chicken with President Bush for the umpteenth time, and as always, Bush ain't kiddin'.

Update: He still ain't kiddin'. And don't look for him to change his mind any time soon. It's called Leadership.
