They will not give up the embassy and it will be Iraq 3.0

John Bolton couldn't have did it better.

I have no faith that outcome will be positive for non-interventionist (but there looks to be a path out with Iraqi vote)

Read that many US oil folks flees Iraq today...wonder what actual number is?

SAVAK

Operations

During the height of its power, SAVAK had virtually unlimited powers. It operated its own detention centers, like Evin Prison. In addition to domestic security the service's tasks extended to the surveillance of Iranians abroad, notably in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom, and especially students on government stipends. The agency also closely collaborated with the American CIA by sending their agents to an air force base in New York to share and discuss interrogation tactics.[21]

Teymur Bakhtiar was assassinated by SAVAK agents in 1970, and Mansur Rafizadeh, SAVAK's United States director during the 1970s, reported that General Nassiri's phone was tapped. Mansur Rafizadeh later published his life as a SAVAK man and detailed the human rights violations of the Shah in his book Witness: From the Shah to the Secret Arms Deal: An Insider's Account of U.S. Involvement in Iran. Mansur Rafizadeh was suspected to have been a double agent also working for the CIA. According to Polish author Ryszard Kapuściński, SAVAK was responsible for Censorship of press, books and films.[22] Interrogation and often torture of prisoners Surveillance of political opponents.

Victims

Sources disagree over how many victims SAVAK had and how inhumane its techniques were. Writing at the time of the Shah's overthrow, TIME magazine described SAVAK as having "long been Iran's most hated and feared institution" which had "tortured and murdered thousands of the Shah's opponents."[23] The Federation of American Scientists also found it guilty of "the torture and execution of thousands of political prisoners" and symbolizing "the Shah's rule from 1963-79." The FAS list of SAVAK torture methods included "electric shock, whipping, beating, inserting broken glass and pouring boiling water into the rectum, tying weights to the testicles, and the extraction of teeth and nails." [24]

We paid good money for Iraq why would you give up such prime real estate. I think Trump should build a big beautiful tower there.

The Iraqis didnt want you then nor do they want you guys now in Iraq... Just wait and Watch for history to TEACH YOU A LESSON.

America with groups like NED on the ground had being known for decades to fund and train such protests and to make them happen. Example why arent there any free and democratic protests agaisnt the regime state in Saudi Arabia yet?


So those missiles attacks killed an American mercenary? what were American mercenaries doing in Northern Iraq?

I would more info on this "contractor" which we know was probably a mercenary & why the Saudi's haven't stepped up.

Thanks for posting, what is NED? pardon my ignorance.

NED a movement which funds, trains protests. And pushes for regime change.

The protests were long planned in Iran.

For the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), the overthrow of the regime has always been the key objective and it explicitly supports sanctions and war to achieve it. (In the first Gulf War, it famously sided with Saddam Hussein and supported his attacks on Iran, including active participation in military operations). The Mujahedin’s backing for the Iran Tribunal is actually disputed by the tribunal, yet the involvement of people with close MEK links seems to tell a different story. Hardly surprising: after all, the US government has recently announced that it has removed the Mujahedin from its list of terrorist organisations.Leila Ghalehbani (who is featured in a video on the tribunal’s front page) is the sister of a number of Mujahedin prisoners who were killed in 1988. Iraj Mesdaghi, a survivor of the massacre, describes himself as “a former member” of the organisation. The website of the pro-Mujahedin organisation, Human Rights and Democracy for Iran, has just published a very sympathetic interview with Payam Akhavan, in which he is sympathetically prompted to tell readers how he feels about being “slandered” by the British leftwing paper, Weekly Worker, in its critical coverage of the IT.

NED funded and trained some members of the Arab spring. This is something that NeoCons in here refuse to accpet to believe.

So you are saying that Iran IS JUST AS out of line as the US?

Not quite as much but yeah. Iran has a security interest just as Russia does with Ukraine and just as the US would if, for instance, China invaded Mexico. Sphere of influence matters. Iran has exceeded it's legitimate interests, though, just as the US has (which had none there, at all).

 

[Brian4Liberty]

U.S. Senator Ben Sasse, a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, issued the following statement regarding an operation that killed Iranian General and terrorist Qassem Soleimani.

"This is very simple: General Soleimani is dead because he was an evil bastard who murdered Americans. The President made the brave and right call, and Americans should be proud of our servicemembers who got the job done. Tehran is on edge - the mullahs have already slaughtered at least a thousand innocent Iranians - and before they lash out further they should know that the U.S. military can bring any and all of these IRGC butchers to their knees."

This is very simple: Ben Sasse has been nothing but a neoconservative plant since day one. A fake. A liar.

 

[susano]

New strike.

In December 2019, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned Khazali for "involvement in serious human rights abuse in Iraq." [9]

On 31 December 2019, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo named Khazali, along with Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Hadi al-Amiri, and Falih Alfayyadh, as responsible for the attack on the United States embassy in Baghdad.[10]

On 3 January 2020, U.S. plans to designate Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq as foreign terrorist organization, with Qais al-Khazali and his brother Laith al-Khazali as specially designated global terrorists.[11]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qais_Khazali


Who knows if he was actually behind the embassy attacks but it looks like he was a "somebody" so Pompeo designated him as responsible to justify the hit, would be my guess. This is a perfect opportunity to carry out the hit list.

Tucker mentioned Sasse. He took issue with the 'its simple' part. It was a blistering monologue. I'll post it later when they put it up . Currently Hannity is foaming out the mouth about how bad and evil he was with zero evidence for the numerous claims.

SimmerDown

Banned

I hope somebody realizes this was humor?

I banned his previous account too. He is not welcome here.

He has taken dumps on multiple projects of mine.

I'm not spending any more of my time explaining to specifically you or anyone else on why I do what I do.

I don't need 1000 clowns. This site wasn't started with humor in mind.

 

[susano]

That's a nice little bit of slander accompanying an insult and it is completely unsupported by my posting record.
[MENTION=1]JoshLowry[/MENTION], is this post by Todd as bad as SimmerDown's sarcasm?

Agreed. It's reductio ad absurdum, much like this nutcase accusing everybody of supporting ISIS.

 

[Swordsmyth]

Yes.

 

[susano]

Iran was not defending themselves from anything.

Sigh.

They do admit to being allys with groups that commit acts of terror in the middle east. Show me a source that refutes this.

^^^THAT is what I was replying to. Who are these "terrorists" that Hezbollah/Iran have allied with? They have allied with Syrian and Iraqi military in fighting the likes of ISIS, Al Nusra/Al Qaeda, et al. THOSE are the terrorists, not the people fighting against them. To claim that people defending themselves and their countries from jihadist insurgents is to the take the line of the very people who are responsible for funding and arming these head chopping freaks!

 

[susano]

One things for sure, the Neocons are all happy that this happened. They've been wanting a war with Iran for years and perhaps they might end up getting their wish.
