After the Tehran administration conducted operations against the terror network Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK) by crossing the Iraqi border, the US Army in Iraq is claimed to have increased the military build up of US troops on the Iranian border.

Tehran local radio announced the US stationed army units on the Iraqi border, increased reconnaissance flights in the region, and trained anti-Iran militias in Iraq. Iranian Interior Ministry confirmed the information.

Activity on the 450 kilometer long border is gradually increasing. Tehran radio also recorded that the US aircrafts reconnaissance flights could also be seen from villages along the border.

According to reports on Turkish news channel CNN Turk, Acting Iranian Interior Minister Mohammed Bakir Zulkadir also confirmed the border activity and said they are closely monitoring the situation.

2. So all we 'need'

is an incident with Iranian and American troops at the borders and you know who has what he needs to do you know what............. :mad:

[Javaman]

7. We didn't need an "incident" for iraq. I suspect we will wake one

morning to the news that Tehran has been bombed back to the stoneage.

I am terrified for our future. Moron* is the real terrorist.

3. What a waste of dough and lives. If I were a hippie, I would g o there

put flowers in everyone's gun, give them all a hug and get everybody stoned... and organize hacky sack contests. War is bad.

4. Bush is going to show us how he can make OUR borders secure

All he needs is just more power.

[ShortnFiery]

9. He's getting real damn close to losing cannon fodder ...

We don't see the effects but "stop loss" is devastating the quality of the volunteer military.

No, these NeoCons always lose like all selfish wannabe rulers - They show their hand by caring for no one other than THEMSELVES.

We can only hope that we STOP the initial attack. Oh I sure hope we can stop them. :scared:

5. Maybe we should start using the slogan :"Read Men Don't Start Wars!"

Grrrr!:grr:

[Stand and Fight]

6. I think you mean "REAL Men..." n/t

[Up2Late]

12. Yes, Thank you. I missed that typo.

Damn spell checker can't yet read my mind. (Thank goodness)

[Stand and Fight]

20. No, problem...

Yeah, I'm of the same opinion about the spell checker and mind reading... :)

[redqueen]

11. Combined with the news about the USS Enterprise headed that way...

I'm about ready to cry... again... this feels like Iraq II (Another Unnecessary War).

Why? Just... why?

[eringer]

13. Why? Just... why?

To generate political capital.

[VegasWolf]

14. and also making billions of dollars off the lives of innocents. nt

15. I know... I know...

But still... the evil just confounds me...

:cry:

[Jacobin]

16. can't have a democratic congress, now can we

that could mean, gulp, investigations.

So, its time to start a diversionary war.

Who cares if zillions are killed. It saves Bush's ass from impeachment, so its worth it.

18. Good Lord!

are their any sane people in Washington that can stop this madness?

[wookie294]

19. There will be no invasion/bombing of Iran

Bush is flexing the military's muscle as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Iran and to divert attention from tomorrow's Rove indictment. THERE WILL BE NO BOMBING. You heard it here!
